The front page begins with nice column heads including: "Inaugural Message Of President Lincoln!" "The Heavens Wept Profusely & the Streets of Washington Deluged in Mud!" "Latest From Sherman!" & much more on the closing events of the Civil War.
After the column heads is: "The Inauguration" dated March 4 & which begins: "President Lincoln was inaugurated at 12 o'clock noon to-day..." with much on the ceremonies, the procession, and other details.
After this is: "Lincoln's Inaugural" with the nice front page printing of his historic inaugural address, containing near the end the famous words: "...With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wound...".
Eight pages, small disbinding indents at the blank spine, nice condition.
