EISENHOWER, Dwight D. Two printed documents signed ("Dwight D. Eisenhower") as President, his, first and second Inaugural Addresses, 20 January 1953 and 21 January 1957. Each 5 pages, 8vo, removed . The 1953 Address with an engraved portrait of Eisenhower. Each boldly signed on the first page of text. SIGNED COPIES OF EISENHOWER'S TWO INAUGURAL ADDRESSES. Eisenhower's First Inaugural began with a prayer of his own composition: "Almighty God, as we stand here at this moment my future associates in the executive branch of government join me in beseeching that Thou will make full and complete our dedication to the service of the people in this throng, and their fellow citizens everywhere..." He went on to make a passionate affirmation of the democratic faith, and an equally fervent attack on Communism: "The enemies of this faith know no god but force, no devotion but its use. They tutor men in treason. They feed upon the hunger of others. Whatever defies them, they torture, especially the truth." The Second Inaugural contained slightly more tempered language, even an olive branch extended to the Soviet peoples: "We honor the aspirations of those nations which, now captive, long for freedom. We seek neither their military alliance nor any artificial imitation of our society. And they can know the warmth of the welcome that awaits them when, as must be, they join again the ranks of freedom. We honor, no less in this divided world than in a less tormented time, the people of Russia. We do not dread, rather do we welcome, their progress in education and industry. We wish them success in their demands for more intellectual freedom, greater security before their own laws, fuller enjoyment of the rewards of their own toil. For as such things come to pass, the more certain will be the coming of that day when our peoples may freely meet in friendship." Together 2 items . (2)
