Hardcover. Condition: Good. No dust jacket present. Second printing [stated]. xxvii, [1], 324 pages. Illustrations. Notes. For Further Reading: A Bibliography. Contributors. Index. Minor cover soiling and wear. Some front board weakness noted. Inscribed by the author on the fep. Inscription reads: For Paul my student of old and…Betty his bride May the wind be often behind your backs. Gabor November 3, 2001. P.S. Please excuse the excessive pr of the jacket. This is one of The Gettysburg Civil War Institute series of books. Gabor S. Boritt (born 1940 in Budapest, Hungary) is an American historian. He was the Robert Fluhrer Professor of Civil War Studies and Director of the Civil War Institute at Gettysburg College. Born and raised in Hungary, he participated as a teenager in the Hungarian Revolution of 1956 against the Soviet Union before escaping to America, where he received his higher education and became a scholar of Abraham Lincoln and the American Civil War. He is the author, co-author, or editor of 16 books about Lincoln or the War. Boritt received the National Humanities Medal in 2008 from President George W. Bush. Nearly a century and a half after his death, Abraham Lincoln remains an intrinsic part of the American consciousness, yet his intentions as president and his personal character continue to stir debate. Now, in The Lincoln Enigma, Gabor Boritt invites renowned Lincoln scholars, and rising new voices, to take a look at much-debated aspects of Lincoln's life, including his relationships, his plan to send blacks back to Africa, and his high-handed treatment of the Constitution. Boritt explores Lincoln's proposals that looked to a lily-white America. Jean Baker marvels at Lincoln's loves and marriage. David Herbert Donald highlights the similarities and differences of the Union and Confederate presidents' roles as commanders-in-chief. Douglas Wilson shows us the young Lincoln--not the strong leader of popular history, but a young man who questions his own identity and struggles to find his purpose. Gerald Prokopowicz searches for the military leader, William C. Harris for the peacemaker, and Robert Bruce meditates on Lincoln and death. In a final chapter Boritt and Harold Holzer offer a fascinating portfolio of Lincoln images in modern art. Acute and thought-provoking in their observations, this all-star cast of historians--including two Pulitzer and three Lincoln Prize winners--questions our assumptions of Lincoln, and provides a new vitality to our ongoing reflections on his life and legacy.

In good condition, lightly aged and worn. Christmas card with unusual image of the three wise men (in Roman helmets) seen from behind, following the guiding star as it leads them across a Hawaian beach to the hut in which the birth of the messiah is occurring. Printed message in card in Hawaian and English. The reverse of the se…cond leaf has nothing printed on it other than the publisher's slug, and at the head the prime minister has written 'Happy Christmas'. Beneath this, one above the other, are the five signatures: 'Harold Wilson | Mary Wilson. | Giles Wilson. | George Brown | Sophie Brown'. At bottom right is written the date '1966'. Written in German, inside the card, presumably by Sophie Brown, is a message in German, dated 'Honolulu 10.12.1966.' It is signed 'Ihre [Polali?]'. The visit to Hawaii does not appear to have been an official one. It would certainly have made for a lively holiday: while Brown is remembered as a hopeless drunkard, Wilson's consumption of alcohol was apparently even greater.

The 30cm * 24cm photograph is in a silver frame stamped 835. The photograph is housed in a rather handsome velvet lined blue case. The photograph and frame have survived well having been protected by the case. The case is somewhat toned, rubbed, tarnished and grubby. A very nice association between the German politician credited… for leading the post-war economic recovery of West Germany, and one of Britain's finest post-war politicians and leaders.

Margaret Thatcher writes at length, as prime minister, to her predecessor in the office, Harold Wilson, about the calculation of the Retail Price Index, a key method of determining inflation. Both Wilson and Thatcher recognized inflation as a core issue of their governments, and their premierships can both, in many ways, be defi…ned by their response to it. The proper calculation of the Retail Price Index was crucial for the government, as it was the basis for measuring living standards and to calculate wage demands. It remains the "headline" calculation of inflation that the media uses, even if government calculations use broader criteria. Thatcher continues earlier correspondence which is untraced: "Dear Lord Wilson, In my letter to you of 21 June I said we would look further at your suggestions for changing the way we calculate the Retail Price Index. Our statisticians very much agree with your view that the present system can be unduly affected by a single month's fluctuation in prices. They have been looking for some time at ways of developing supplementary series which give a better additional guide to the underlying trend in prices and which are not so affected by price rises a year earlier or by one-off fluctuations in price. But so far none of the possible alternatives has proved satisfactory. Your suggestion of a three month moving average would have the effect of smoothing out the monthly variations, but it would not remove the need to construct an annual rate with all the same problems of monthly fluctuations which your proposal is designed to avoid. It would not, for example, be valid to annualise the change shown by the three month rate if the period included something that occurred only once a year, since the effect of that one factor would then be greatly exaggerated. It would be possible to compare the latest three month average with the corresponding point in the previous year. But, as the attached chart shows, although this produces a smoother path than the rate based on one month's figures, it does not entirely eliminate the distortions and fluctuations. There is also, of course, the wider problem of gaining public acceptance for an alternative measure of prices. At present we do in fact publish three measures of retail prices every month comparing the latest month with the previous month, the month six months earlier and the corresponding month of the previous year; but nevertheless all the political and public attention focuses on the 12 month rate. Even if we could devise a satisfactory alternative, therefore, I doubt whether it would be easy to gain recognition for it or to put it in the place of our existing measures. Thank you again for writing. Kinds regards, yours sincerely, Margaret Thatcher". Thatcher and Wilson were old rivals but respected each other. He was the first of three Labour leaders who she faced across the despatch box; she was his last Conservative leader. Thatcher recalled in her memoir "I can say little in favour of either of Harold Wilson's terms as Prime Minister. Doubtless he had principles, but they were so obscured by artful dodging that it was difficult for friends and opponents alike to decide what they might be. Yet. I had always liked him personally, I had appreciated his sense of humour, and I was aware of his many kindnesses. He was a master of Commons repartee, and I usually scored nothing better than a draw against him in the House" (Path to Power, p. 313). Wilson's health and mind were in decline over the 1980s but this letter, at least, reveals he still kept an active interest in politics, and was willing to make his voice heard. The length of Thatcher's response indicates the respect and deference with which the government treated Wilson's opinions. The appended chart shows a decline in the Retail Price Index since Thatcher took office, although in fact it would afterwards rise against throughout the rest of the 1980s. Provenance: Harold Wilson, given to Lady Falkender, his former political secretary and key aide in his career, acquired from her family following her death. Stapled to the letter is a note from Marcia Falkender: "HW I attach this letter from the Prime Minister. Is there anything further you want doing with it? MW". Falkender went professionally as Marcia Williams. Wilson has written a simple "No." next to Falkender's question. Typed letter signed, 2 leaves typed recto only (the first with Downing Street letterhead), with third leaf appended reproducing a chart of the retail prices index, all 297 x 210 mm. A smaller note with Parliament's blind-stamped insignia is stapled (see note). Hole punch to chart. In excellent condition.

The album is bound in the distinctive green and white stripes of the Nigerian flag, with the Nigerian coat of arms bearing the motto "Unity and Faith" in gilt to the upper board. Opening the album both pastedowns have been decorated with marbled paper, a programme of events, inscribed by Yakubu Gowon and dated 31.03.69, has been… attached to the first page and there follows 39 photographs mounted on black paper with spiders web embossed protective tissue guards. The photographs measure either 21cm by 19cm or 24cm by 19cm and document the visit chronologically, beginning with Wilson's arrival at Ikeja Airport. Several photographs feature people protesting against the Nigerian civil war and the messages on their banners are as good a reminder of the background to the visit as any, they read: "No stalemate in Nigeria War", "No genocide against Ibos" and, most pertinently, "Wilson's Britain Blessing or Bane?". Britain had ostensibly been advocating a peaceful settlement to the conflict between Nigeria's Federal Military Government(headed by Yakubu Gowon) and the would be independent state of Biafra, whilst supplying a prodigious quantity of arms and assistance, covert or otherwise, to the FMG. Papers released years later reveal that Britain's actions were dictated by financial rather than moral obligations, the decision having been made that Britain's interests were best served by Nigeria remaining a single united state, as there was no guarantee that a future Biafran state would grant such favourable terms to Shell/BP in accessing oil in the Eastern region, and that even should they do this there was no guarantee that trade would continue smoothly between east and west. Britain also had geopolitical concerns, holding the view that a strong united Nigera as a major African power was desirable, as a break up of the Federation would allow France and its allies to exercise greater influence in the region. Similarly to recent wars in Iraq and Afghanistan Wilson was challenged frequently in the House of Commons on the legitimacy and extent of Britain's involvement in the conflict, his responses are impressively adroit in their prevarication, occasionally veering across the fine line of truth. A fascinating emblem of the difficult decisions faced by a succession of financially crippled British Governments during the immediate post-war/post-colonial period, as well as a reminder of how adept, persuasive and intelligent Harold Wilson was as a statesman. Although Wilson would later write of the toll that this statecraft took on him, revealing that Nigeria: "took up far more of my time, and that of ministerial colleagues, and far more moral wear and tear than any other issue.". The album was kept by Harold Wilson throughout the remainder of his life and subsequently by his wife, Lady Mary Wilson and comes from the collection of Harold and Mary Wilson.
