A search of the On-line Catalogue of the Library of Congress on March 27 2021 identified four copies two in Ohio Libraries one at the University of Texas at Austin and one at a Scottish Rites Temple in Massachusetts. Occasionally copies appear briefly on-line and generally are purchased quickly. Thousands who witnessed the funeral procession as it moved from the McKinley home on Market Avenue N to the church services were "Hushed and Broken in Heart" as they watched the cortege. Mrs. McKinley spent a half hour alone with the casket but she would not attend the funeral services instead staying at home the rest of the day. The funeral procession began at the McKinley home at 1:14 p.m. and arrived at the First Methodist Church now Crossroads United Methodist Church at 1:30 p.m. McKinley's body first lay in state for public viewing in Buffalo N.Y. on Sept. 15-16;. The nation focused its attention on the casket that made its way by train first to Washington where it first lay in the East Room of the Executive Mansion and then in state in the Capitol and then was taken to Canton. A hundred thousand people passed by the open casket in the Capitol Rotunda many having waited hours in the rain; in Canton an equal number did the same at the Stark County Courthouse on September 18. The following day a funeral service was held at the First Methodist Church; the casket was then sealed and taken to the McKinley house where relatives paid their final respects. It was then transported to the receiving vault at West Lawn Cemetery in Canton to await the construction of the memorial to McKinley already being planned. The former first lady accompanied her husband on the funeral train. Historian Margaret Leech noted "the circuitous journey was a cruel ordeal for the woman who huddled in a compartment of the funeral train praying that the Lord would take her with her Dearest Love". She was thought too weak to attend the services in Washington or Canton although she listened at the door to the service for her husband in her house on North Market Street. Among organizations that participated in the procession were Canton Commandery No. 38 Knights Templars; The Grand Commandery Knights Templars of Ohio; The Knights Templars of Louisville Kentucky and Pittsburgh; Eagle Lodge No. 431 it would become the McKinley Lodge; The Grand Army Band; and Thayer's Military Band. At the church President Roosevelt occupied the front pew. Behind him were 40 United States senators 120 representatives and many state governors. Honorary pallbearers selected by the family included John C. Dueber George B. Frease R. A. Cassidy William R. Day Joseph Biechele Henry W. Harter William A. Lynch and Thomas McCarty. Widow McKinley remained in Canton for the remainder of her life setting up a shrine in her house and often visiting the receiving vault until her death at age 59 on May 26 1907. She died only months before the completion of the large marble monument to her husband in Canton which was dedicated by President Roosevelt on September 30 1907. William and Ida McKinley are interred there with their daughters atop a hillside overlooking the city of Canton. The Watts Printing Co unknown

Hullmandel's best know work and most influential publication is his book 'The art of drawing on stone' which was first published in 1824. But in terms of establishing lithography in Britain, his translation from the French of this treatise by Raucourt de Charleville was probably just as important. This third and final edition contains some important new additions. Colonel Antoine Raucourt was chief engineer at the Ecole des Ponts et Chauss?es in Paris and ran its in-plant lithographic press. His book was originally published in Toulon in 1819. Hullmandel thought highly of Raucourt's treatise and wrote in the preface: "The books which have hitherto been published on lithography are very imperfect, and are much more adapted to persons who already understand the art than those who wish to learn it... I have repeatedly wished for a guide to explain the new accidents which occur every instant, and which... appear each time so new and intricate, that the beginner is consequently tempted to give up all hopes of ever succeeding. I am consequently better enabled to appreciate the value of this excellent treatise on lithography, and hesitate not an instant to pronounce it the best work which has ever been published on the art." Bigmore & Wyman II, p.240; Twyman, pp.110-14.
Second edition, revised, 12mo, xxxvi,176pp., 12 illustrs., (6 of which are on 2 folding leaves), the folding leaves creased and waterstained, some light spotting and staining, bookplate of Jacob L.

Single sheet printed on one side only (214 x 135 mm), printed black on white fragile paper, mounted on card, soiled and creased. From the London Times, February 25, 1828, page 3, Column 1 : "It is this week our painful duty to record one of the most cold-blooded murders that ever darkened the annals of crime, a deed which has spread a wider gloom and deeper horror than any event which has occurred in this neighbourhood within the remembrances of the eldest inhabitants." John Dyon was the second son of a wealthy landowner in Yorkshire, England near Doncaster. He lived a hard working, respectable and quiet life. He married the lovely Betty Conway and together they had 3 daughters, Elizabeth (from whom we descend), Mary and Matilda. Working closely with his father, he often gained favors and gifts from the older man. In 1826 and 1827 alone, it is recorded that he received 63 acres of land and 300 pounds sterling. His older brother, William also received many gifts from their father as a young man, but the money was mostly squandered and drunk, and eventually the gifts stopped coming. So William struggled and John thrived? and William stewed, and his resentment grew. William frequently ranted of his anger to his son, John, poisoning the younger man's mind against his uncle. On Saturday, the 16th of February, 1828, John Dyon attended the market in Doncaster (12 miles away) with a couple of friends as was his custom. On his return home that evening, when he dismounted his horse to open the gate to his property, he was assaulted, shot, and left for dead. His wife, concerned when he didn't arrive home at the time he should, sent a servant to look for him. The servant found John's horse standing near the gate, but did not see John lying a few feet away. They found him in the morning lying where he had bled out. Mr. E. B. Denison, Esq. and the local constable rode out from Doncaster immediately upon receiving the news Sunday morning and began their investigation. Mr. Denison, a student of the new forensic sciences, was pleased to find the murder scene offered an abundance of clues. It had rained on Saturday and the ground was quite moist, then the temperature dropped below freezing overnight, capturing the escape route of the assailants. Mr. Denison observed that there were two attackers; one smaller and lighter than the other. He noted that these persons were relatively wealthy because they possessed a pair boots with both a right and left foot. He also noted that the larger footprints had a distinctive toe-out gait. An inquest was called by the coroner. After the presentation of evidence, the jury delivered a verdict of "Willful murder by person or persons unknown". Many in the area knew of the ill will that William Dyon and his son held for William's brother, John Dyon. By Thursday of the following week, both were arrested. They provided alibis, insisting that they had been nowhere near the scene of the crime. The magistrate felt he had to let them go. After his release by the authorities, William went to a pub in Gainesborough, and bragged there that he had "humbugged" the local magistrate, apparently disclosing further details of the crime. His brags were soon brought to the attention of Mr. Denison and additional inquiries were made. A farmer who had previously worked for William, but was now in John's employ, admitted that he knew of William and young John's plan to kill John Dyon. He also said that he had hidden the gun at his home for a week prior to the murder, and that William had bribed him and threatened him to keep quiet about the plan. Soon, William and his son, John were arrested. The constable searched their homes and found the boots, a pair having both right and left feet, and the gun. During the trial, the farmer, John White, testified to everything he knew, including the fact that William had showed up the evening of the killing to pick up his gun. Several witnesses came forward to testify to the ill will that William and his son bore for the deceased. They also testified that William had a distinctive gait, walking with his toes pointed outward. William Dyon and John, his son, were hanged for their crime on April 4, 1828. William staunchly declared his innocence throughout, but his son confessed to all as they placed the noose around his neck. No other copy located.
