Story was a noted and accomplished attorney a member of Congress for one term and was appointed an associate justice of the Supreme Court in 1811. His greatest contribution was this title which is still considered "the standard treatise on the subject" of the Constitution.

Paper library labels on the spines rubbing to joints slight edgewear. Overall Near Fine. Two 5-1/4" x 8-1/2" volumes identically bound in half calf and marbled boards with matching gilt-lettered morocco spine labels.

Grimke Benjamin Toslin Theron Metcalf Asher Robbins Seth Hawley Virgil Maxcy and Asher Ware. Story's DISCOURSE SABIN 92300 is INSCRIBED "The Honorable/Edward Everett/from the Author" on the title and has a partial correction in the author's hand on page 26. In addition to Story's INSCRIPTION to Everett Maxcy and Ware have also INSCRIBED their addresses to Everett. Emerson's address is certainly the most important present in these volumes. Published in an edition of only 500 copies all of which were sold within a months time it was generally well received and was later described by Oliver Wendell Holmes as "our intellectual Declaration of Independence." When Emerson included this essay in his seminal collection in 1841 he renamed it "The American Scholar": "The clarion cry to think to create to become a productive scholar and above all to fulfil yourself as an individualist." BAL 5183; GROLIER AMERICAN 100: 43. Each volume also with the owner inscription of Frederick W. Putnam dated 22 November 1910 Binghamton NY. Putnam a student of Louis Agassiz was the first director of the Peabody Museum of Salem president of the American Association for the Advancement of Science president of the American Folklore Society and president of the American Anthropological Association among other honors. He is widely known as the "Father of American Archaeology." A remarkable collection with an exceptional provenance and association. <br/><br/>Edward Everett--a Unitarian minister member of both the United States Congress and Senate and also a governor of Massachusetts--is perhaps best known for his oratory powers. It is he who gave the "other" address at Gettysburg on 19 November 1863. The next day he wrote Lincoln saying "I should be glad if I could flatter myself that I came as near the central idea of the occasion in two hours as you did in two minutes." hardcover

Several ownership markings including signatures from John Neely Bryan in each. <p><br /> Historic set of two statute books from the library of the founder of Dallas John Neely Bryan 1810-1877. Bryan left his home state of Tennessee at an early age with law degree in hand first to Arkansas and in 1839-1841 surveying and settling in the area that would later become Dallas. <br /> <br /> The natural features of the landscape the Trinity River being shallow and crossable at the site perhaps drew Bryan to the area but were also a source for disaster shortly after his settling. Stephen R. Butler in his biography John Neely Bryan: The Father of Dallas pg. 46: <br /> "In 1842. A Trinity River flood damaged the so-called 'Gilbert-Bryan cabin.' John Neely Bryan Jr. described this event: 'Shortly after this first cabin was completed my father went back to Colbert's Ferry for a supply of corn. he found that a rise of the river had occurred during his absence. damaging his books and destroying many of his papers. he had brought with him numerous valuable books and papers pertaining to his profession.'" <br /> <br /> </p> <br /> <p>These volumes were later rebound and owned by Maurice Eugene Locke who established a practice in the city in 1891 and built one of the great law libraries of the West. The stamp of a "John B. Seymour" is also present in each perhaps owning the books between Bryan and Locke. We find no record of John Neely Bryan's signature at auction. This wonderful piece of Dallas history also presents a rare case where water damage adds to rather than detracts from the appeal. </p> . Wells and Lilly; P. H. Nicklin and T.

181715973New Haven: Sidney Press 1817. First edition. 12 illustrations in color and black and white. VERY RARE. Small 8vo publisher’s original decorated wraps. 31 pp. A well preserved copy some with expected wear. This children’s book is called a chapbook a more modern term that derives from the chapmen. Chapmen were pedlars who hawked their goods in towns and villages and at country fairs. In 1553 Edward VI proclaimed that champmen must be licensed and Chettle in Kind Hart’s Dreame 1592 wrote that “‘Chapmen are able to spred more pamphlets.then all the booksellers in town.’†Although they sold other wares too they always had cheap booklets sometimes ballad sheets which eventually assumed the familiar form af a miniature booklet with a paper cover thatusually had a picture. Even Shakespeare in Henry IV mentioned the chapmen as did Urquhart’s Rabelais in 1653. With the growth of small printers miniature editions of old favourites could be printed. While chapbooks were ostensibly designed to help children learn how to read they often broached adult subjects and were the source of entertainment in families and villages. <br> This edition contains: “George and Adolphus†“The Little Wanderers. A True Story.†“The Little Prisoners†and “The Illnatured Boy.†Sidney Press paperback

In his "Legal Bibliography" J. G. Marvin describes Story's credentials as its author thus "The judicial station of the author his opportunities for hearing constitutional questions mooted and settled for the last quarter of a century his habits of patient and thorough investigation give a weight and value to Judge Story's writings upon Constitutional Law which few similar works can claim." Further he describes Commentaries as an essential work for the student of constitutional history "written with great candour and characterized by extended research and careful examination of the vital principles upon which our government reposes" p. 669. Early editions of Story's Commentaries are fairly uncommon in the trade. Marvin p 669. Howes S-1047; Sabin 92292; Oxford American National Biography. Hilliard, Gray, and Company unknown

1894218641894. Slavery & Abolition Literature Anonymous. The Story of a Slave: Slavery's Social Evil. Published by the trade. 1894. Original black and white illustrated wrappers. 8vo. 192 pages. This is a rare account of slavery by an anonymous author that romanticizes the Old South and plantation life of the slave Paul who is seduced by the white mistress Virginia. Paul Hamilton Hayes' name appears in the contents page though an author is not attributed. The title page states "A realistic revelation of a social relation of slave times hitherto unwritten--from the one who has felt both the slash and the caress from their mistress." The Story of a Slave is presented as the autobiography of a slave named Paul but is believed to be a fictional account. The work was published anonymously and no author has since been identified. In this account Paul was born in Alabama and learned to read and write as a child. When he was eighteen he began to work as a field hand on a Choteaux family plantation. He later moved to another of his master's plantations to work as a house-boy. Here he met and fell in love with his master's daughter Virginia Choteaux. Soon Virginia discovers she is pregnant but before the lovers can arrange an escape Virginia's unsuspecting parents arrange for her marriage to a young white man. The memoir concludes with news of Paul's former mistress's death some years after the Civil War." This summary was written perhaps about an earlier publication of this book around 1894 published by Wesley Elmore & Benson and this copy may be a later publication in paperback for the trade but is a rare pulp copy. Title page has a 1" chip in the center of some text. The contents page is detached from binding. Edges of front and back covers have chips and tears. Overall condition is clean with no writing underlining or highlighting. unknown
