Booklet, "MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT...TRANSMITTING A COPY OF THE TREATY BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES AND HER BRITANNIC MAJESTY FOR THE SUPPRESSION OF THE AFRICAN SLAVE TRADE," Washington. 1862, 15pp. Once the Civil War was underway, Lincoln moved quickly to join England in outlawing the slave trade - one of the few points on which the North and the generally pro- Confederate British could agree. This is the first Congressional printing of the treaty. OCLC locates only six copies. Scarce.
