Imprints 35420 Sabin 92299. A fascinating examination of the history of the Salem colony with broad treatment of the republican philosophy and institutions that characterized the early development of that and other American settlements forming the underpinnings of the American Republic. Joseph Story 1779 – 1845 was an American lawyer and jurist who served on the Supreme Court of the United States from 1812 to 1845 during the Marshall Court and early Taney Court. He is most remembered for his opinions in Martin v. Hunter's Lessee and The Amistad case and especially for his magisterial Commentaries on the Constitution of the United States first published in 1833. That work is a cornerstone of early American jurisprudence and remains a critical source of historical information about the forming of the American republic. Story was elected a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1810 and a member of the American Antiquarian Society in 1814. He would later serve as that society's vice-president from 1831 to 1845. In 1844 he was elected as a member of the American Philosophical Society. Justice Story remains one of the most significant figures in early American constitutional history. Selected by President James Madison at the age of 32 Story is still the youngest person ever nominated to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court. Throughout his time on the Marshall and Taney courts Joseph Story championed the notion of legal science. He believed that the Union could be made stronger through the proper application of law i.e. uniformity of application. Consequently federal control and judicial oversight were important tools in crafting a more centralized Union. . Hilliard, Gray, Little, and Wilkins unknown

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
