Original Wrappers. Condition: Good binding. Octavo. 13, [3 (blank)] pp. Counterfeit edition. As issued, in printed wrappers. A bright fresh copy. This is a fairly nice example of the late 19th century or early 20th century forgery, identifiable by the error in the publisher's imprint on both the wrapper and the title page. Of this document, Harwell writes, "Presented by Christopher G. Memminger as the report of the committee to draw up the Declaration. It is this document that the South Carolinians of 1860 regarded as a new Declaration of Independence" (In Tall Cotton 171). Even the counterfeit of this seminal Confederate document has some interest to the collector. Parrish & Willingham 3762 (ref.). Confederate Hundred 85; Streeter 1270.

PAMPHLET. Condition: Collectible; Good. This pamplet is generally Good Plus. 13 pages with rear blank. The pages are clean, save some soiling on page one and the rear of the end blank. There is previous soft wrinkling. The wrappers are bright with minor loss to the upper front point and nicks to the fore-edge. There is separation at the lower 1/3 at the spine of several pages. Center page is unattached but present in like condition to the remainder of the pamphlet. The front wrapper has scuffed letter losses in the "ion" of "Union". There are prior repairs to the rear wrapper. Included in this lot is an additional unattached front wrapper with much improved lettering and minor edge chipping. Also included is an unattached blank. Please note the title lists "Cause" instead of "Causes" (possible later printing?).

13, [3 blank] pp. Original printed yellow wrappers bound into contemporary half green morocco and marbled paper over boards. Very Good. The printed wrapper provides the essential bibliographical information. Our front wrapper title prints "Causes" instead of "Cause." Our front wrapper imprint prints "Streets" instead of the title page's "street." Our copy is thus a variant unknown to Crandall or Parrish & Willingham, who recorded two issues of the Declaration. Eberstadt, as Harwell has noted, catalogued our "third variant of Crandall 1873, with both 'Causes' and 'Streets' on the wrapper." South Carolina was first to secede, certainly no surprise in view of its long-standing advocacy of State Rights, Nullification, and Southern Nationalism. The Declaration asserts that the "ends for which this Government was created have been defeated, and the Government has been made destructive of them by the action of the non-slaveholding States." The prime example of Northern treachery is the refusal to obey constitutional and statutory provisions requiring rendition of fugitive slaves. The Ordinance dissolving Carolina's tie to the Union is signed by the delegates in type. 163 Eberstadt 189. Harwell, Confederate Hundred 85.
