24911Washington DC: War Department 1864 June 15. 12mo. Handbill. Near fine. Lightly soiled and a tad edgeworn with two file holes at left not affecting text. Townsend announces a "Public Resolution -- No. 34" being "A Resolution tendering the thanks of Congress to Lieutenant Joseph Bailey of the 4th Regiment of Wisconsin Volunteers. for distinguished services in the recent campaign on the Red river by which the gunboat flotilla under Rear Admiral David D. Porter was rescued from imminent peril." Bailey 1825-67 was one of only 15 men voted the "Thanks of Congress" -- and the only one who wasn't a corps or division commander. General Nathaniel Banks' Red River Campaign was saved from a disastrous loss of life by this Wisconsin engineer who devised a plan to raise the level of a river at Alexandria by constructing a winged dam. For ten days about 10000 soldiers slaved away to build it. The river did indeed raise and Admiral Porter's stranded fleet of ten gunboats floated safely past. Remnants of "Bailey's Dam" can still be seen today. An intriguing relic of this famed event. unknown

The acceptance of McClellan's resignation without comment or praise over a job well done speaks volumes about the much-disliked commander's lackluster performance. unknown

52668, Avignon, François Girard 1740, in-4, plein veau brun, dos à 5 nerfs richement orné de fleurons dorés, tit. sur pc. de maroquin ambre, tr. jaspées, bandeaux, culs-de-lampe et lettrines, (importante épidermure sur le 1erplat, qq. épidermures plus superficielles sur le plat inf., rares trous de vers non traversants, coupes frottées et coins émoussés avec mq., pc. de tit. frottée avec mq.), int. très frais, 5 f.-231p. + table.
plein veau fauve, tit. doré sur pc. bordeaux, dos à 5 nerfs orné de fleurons et doubles filets encadrants dorés, roulettes soulignant les nerfs, tr. jaspées, (mors fendus aux extrémités, coiffes accidentées avec de forts mq., coins émoussés avec des mq., rares rousseurs) (Dupin n° 1157 ; manque à Berkeley, la BNF et Cujas). La substitution est l’acte juridique par lequel le détenteur d’un patrimoine substitue à l’héritier institué un tiers appelé à recueillir les biens pour le cas où l’héritier institué mourrait avant le testateur ou institue un héritier à charge pour lui de transmettre les biens à un tiers déterminé et déterminable (c’est la substitution fidei commissaire). Cette institution était extrêmement répandue au Moyen Âge, mais au XVIe et XVIIe siècle elle se heurta aux questions posées par le droit naturel et spécialement sur le point de savoir si la liberté de tester était de droit naturel. Il en résulta de graves controverses et l’une des principales ordonnances du chancelier d’Aguesseau au cours du XVIIIe siècle fut précisément de mettre de l’ordre dans les divergences jurisprudentielles qui s’étaient faites jour. Cette ordonnance de d’Aguesseau à la différence de celle concernant les donations ou les testaments n’a fait l’objet que de très peu de commentaires. On en compte au total trois, celui-ci étant le premier.
plein veau blond moucheté, tit. doré sur pc. noire, dos à 5 nerfs orné de fleurons et filets encadrants dorés, tr. mouchetées, (coiffes accidentées, plats et dos frottés avec des épidermures, coins et coupes émoussées avec des mq., des notes a l’encre sur les p. de garde) Serre, élève de Boutaric et professeur à l’université de Montpellier, dispensa entre 1750 et 1760 des cours consacrés aux grandes ordonnances de D’Aguesseau. Les archives du département de l’Hérault qui conservent ces cours (v. V. Chêne bibliographie) ne mentionnent pas de cours sur les testaments, mais il est probable que le présent texte soit le produit de ce cours d’autant plus que la méthode d’exposition retenue ressemble beaucoup à celle utilisée par ailleurs par le célèbre auteur. Manque à Dupin. Nous présentons ici la dernière édition de ce texte.
