Booklet, September 30, 1863, Published by The Loyal Publication Society, New York, Choice Very Fine. No. 35 in a Series of Pamphlets, this 9.25" x 5.75," 8-page Publication features the letter of Francis Lieber, who rails against secessionists.

Yet, even were it otherwise, is it then wholly forgotten that a revolution implies two parties, who must fight it out; and we, the one of the interested parties, must be acknowledged to have the right of saying No?

Let us put our utmost zeal to our coming election, so that, among other things, the draft be carried out fairly, fully, and honestly. It is necessary, and becomes the more urgently so, the nearer we draw to the end; for we must fill up our regiments gallantly thinning before the enemy, and we shall stand in need of a large army for the period when the country shall pass from the state of tumultuous rebellion to returning and supported peace and order. Lightly toned pages, minor wear, nice cover graphic of the Society's seal. An interesting slice of public opinion peddling from the Civil War era.
