1880 1st ed Republican American Government Politics Garfield & Arthur Presidents
Eugene Smalley’s ‘The Republican Manual’ is a fine 19th-century look into American politics and the parity between the Republican and Democrat parties. Despite seeming to be a historical account of American government this work was, in truth, written as a campaign boost for James Garfield and Chester A. Arthur’s Presidential ticket. It also includes notes on early Republican figures and biographical sketches of Presidential candidates.

New York: American Bk. Exchange, 1880. First edition.
Details:
Collation: Complete with all pages
[5], 6-341, [7]
Provenance: Handwritten – Geo. W. Williams
Likely the same George Washington Williams (1849 – 1891) who was an American Civil War soldier, Baptist minister, politician, lawyer, journalist, and writer on African-American history.
In the late 1880s, Williams turned his interest to Europe and Africa. After having been impressed by meeting King Leopold II of Belgium, he traveled in 1890 to the Congo Free State (then owned by the king) to see its development. Shocked by the widespread, brutal abuses and slavery imposed on the Congolese, he wrote an open letter to Leopold in 1890 about the suffering of the region's native inhabitants at the hands of the king's agents. This letter was a catalyst for an international outcry against the regime running the Congo, which had caused millions of deaths.
