First edition published by J. Walter & Company. Presentation copy inscribed by Vallandigham on a yellow free (nearly) endpaper to his friend, the actor Edward Forrest, in Dayton, Ohio on 12 January 1866. With photograph as frontis. Vallandigham of Dayton, Ohio, was elected to Congress in 1858 as a Democrat; most of his speeches come from the Civil War era, in which he strongly supported states' rights, including the right to regulate slavery although he was personally opposed to it, and criticized Lincoln's execution of the war. Also accompanied by a carte de visite each of Vallandigham and Forrest (see GLC00476.02 and GLC00476.03).
