NEW YORK DAILY TRIBUNE, March 5, 1861 Page 5 has nice one column heads announcing the significant news of Abraham Lincoln's first inauguration, the heads including: "THE NEW ADMINISTRATION" "Inauguration of President Lincoln" "Peace & Good Order" "A Magnificent Display" "Procession To The Capitol" "Immense Throng of People" "THE INAUGURATION ADDRESS" "Conciliatory, but Firm" "THE LAWS TO BE EXECUTED" "The Union Not Dissolved" and more.
The text covering the inauguration takes fully half of page 5 and continues over to take most of the back page as well. It begins: "The Inauguration passed off brilliantly. The morning was cloudy with a chilling wind...The congregation upon & before the east front of the Capitol was immense, larger than ever before. I heard the number estimated as high as 100,000..." with so much more.
At its conclusion on page 8 is a report of the swearing-in ceremony which includes the oath: "I, Abraham Lincoln, do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the office of President..." with more. The text continues with what happened after the inaugural ceremonies.
Page 4 has a lengthy editorial on: "The Inaugural Address".
Eight pages, very nice condition.
