Xon Bacon San Antonia April 28 1987. D.B. Hardeman was an aide to former House Speaker Sam Rayburn D-Tex. who became a legend as a mentor in the education of reporters staff members and political scientists interested in the workings of Capitol Hill. Mr. Hardeman came to Washington in 1956 with plans to write a book on the life and times of Speaker Rayburn who served as speaker of the House of Representatives for all but four years between 1940 and 1961. Shortly after he began interviewing Rayburn for the book Rayburn hired him. From 1956 until Rayburn's death in 1961 Mr. Hardeman filled a variety of roles for the speaker. His title was legislative assistant but his role with Rayburn was that of personal confidant political adviser and friend. Following Rayburn's death Mr. Hardeman spent several years as an administrative assistant to the late Hale Boggs D-La. when Boggs was House Democratic Whip. Donald Conrad. Bacon American b. 1935 worked for the Wall Street Journal NYC staff writer 1957-61; Washington Star Washington DC staff writer 1962-63; Newhouse News Service Washington DC congressional correspondent to White House correspondent senior correspondent and columnist 1962-75; U.S. News and World Report Washington 1975-89. Sam Rayburn 1882-1961 U.S. representative; born in Roane County Tenn. He worked his way through and taught school while earning his law degree at night. A powerful Democrat in the Texas House 1906--12 he quickly rose to prominence in the U.S. House of Representatives 1913--61 on the Committee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce aided by John Nance Gardner. A Southern populist he sponsored New Deal legislation including the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 to regulate Wall Street. He took special pride in the Rural Electrification Act of 1936. Elected Speaker of the House 1940--61 he was politically more influential in Washington than in Texas. He supported Roosevelt's and Truman's foreign policies but his and Senator Lyndon Johnson's policy of moderation and compromise during the 1950s alienated liberal Democrats who backed John Kennedy in 1960. Rayburn aided President Kennedy's legislative package by enlarging the House Rules Committee. From Wikipedia: "Samuel Taliaferro "Sam" Rayburn January 6 1882 November 16 1961 was a Democratic lawmaker from Bonham Texas who served as the Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives for 17 years the longest tenure in U.S. history.On September 16 1940 at the age of 58 and while serving as Majority Leader of the United States House of Representatives Rayburn became Speaker of the House upon the sudden death of Speaker William Bankhead. Rayburn's career as Speaker was interrupted twice: 1947-1949 and 1953-1955 when Republicans controlled the House. During those periods of Republican rule Rayburn served the "Democratic Leader" during those interim four years when the office of Speaker was held by the Republican Joseph W. Martin Jr. of Massachusetts. Himself a protege of Vice President of the United States John Nance Garner Rayburn was a close friend and mentor of Lyndon B. Johnson and knew Johnson's father Sam from their days in the Texas Legislature. Rayburn was instrumental to LBJ's ascent to power particularly his unusual and rapid rise to the position of Minority Leader; Johnson had been in the Senate for a mere four years when he assumed the role. Johnson also owed his subsequent elevation to Majority Leader to Rayburn. In shaping legislation Rayburn preferred working quietly in the background to being in the public spotlight. As Speaker he won a reputation for fairness and integrity. When he died his personal savings totaled only $15000 and most of his holdings were in his family ranch. Rayburn was well known among his colleagues for his after business hours "Board of Education" meetings in hideaway offices in the House. During these off-the-record sessions the Speaker and powerful committee chairmen would gather for poker bourbon and a frank discussion of politics. Rayburn alone determined who received an invitation to these gatherings; to be invited to even one was a high honor. Texas Monthly Press hardcover

This is not part of Bacon's New Abridgement of the Law which underwent many printings in the mid 18th and early 19th century but the first and only edition of a totally separate publication although the subject matter was indeed included in Bacon's Abridgement. The Advertisement at the front indicates that this book was published separately not out of the greed of the the proprietors Bacon et al but to pre-empt a piracy in progress - "Alarmed at such an attempt upon a work in which they were so deeply interested they endeavoured by remonstrances to prevail with the parties to relinquish their design; but these proving ineffectual no other means were left them of asserting their claims then by making a separate Publication of the Tract themselves". Full calf iv 251p. i p.245-352 rear endpaper absent. Externally quite worn with covers detached spine about gone. Text block firm with no loosened pages other than the first few which are detached.
