The binding is sharp without wear; the textblock has early dampstaining with tideline heavier to the preliminary pages after which the tidelines are intermittent and generally minor; foxing and pencil marginalia throughout. <br /> <br /> Issued the same year as the 3-volume first edition this is an abridged version of the U.S. Supreme Court Justice's most important and enduring work on the history of constitutional law in America. 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.

195841650Collins 1958. 8vo. First Edition with fine portrait frontispiece and 65 plates and maps a number full-page on 39; handsomely bound in full dark green crushed morocco sides with gilt frame border back with raised bands second and fourth compartments lettered and ruled in gilt all other compartments tooled in gilt gilt top hand-made endpapers ribbon marker dustwrapper panels mounted on new and separate leaves at front and rear custom-made slip-case an elegant copy ideal as a gift or for presentation. One of the key military memoirs of the twentieth century this is as much an autobiography as a soldier's account of war. Written entirely by 'Monty' himself in pencil as so many of his official communications were composed this characteristically straightforward and often politically outspoken account covers boyhood early service with the Warwickshires WWII and beyond notably about a third of the work covers his post-war career as CIGS and after. For technical military detail we look to the author's other works; here we find the simple account of a 'soldier who kept the faith'. A great read from one of the unforgettable leaders of his times.

19593137Washington D.C. 1959. Good plus. 19pp. mimeographed on rectos only. Original printed blue wrappers brad bound. Covers stained and worn. Mild uneven toning to a few leaves. A seemingly unrecorded directory for the Howard University School of Law published by the Student Bar Association in 1959. This humble handmade directory includes a short acknowledgement followed by listings of the faculty administrative staff Student Bar Association the Howard Law Journal the National Moot Court Team the Legal Assistance Program the "Law Wives" the class officers and finally the "Student Directory 1959-1960" arranged alphabetically. The directory lists the name expected year of graduation address phone number if any and undergraduate institution for each of the seventy-nine law students attending Howard at the time. Among the more notable names in the directory is Vernon Jordan Jr. who was then in his final year at Howard Law School. No listings for this ephemeral and homespun African American law school directory. unknown
18503940Philadelphia 1850. About very good. 7pp. Gathered signatures folded likely removed from a binding. Partially detached along spines. Moderate foxing. A quite rare pamphlet recording a jingoistic speech given by former Vice President George Mifflin Dallas in front of the Union meeting in November 1850. Supporting the Compromise of 1850 and the Fugitive Slaw Law Dallas argues to his audience that "No form of government is more difficult to construct than a Federal Union of Sovereign Republican States. When once established and continued steadily in operation it is the very best form by which to effect and secure the great aims and blessings of society." Dallas chronicles "the ripe fruits of our glorious confederacy" specifically the unparalleled gains in civilization prosperity and freedom nurtured by the American Union. As such Dallas argues that the Fugitive Slave Act must not only be tolerated in order to preserve the Union but is in "perfect harmony with the Constitution" and should be supported as just and necessary to combat "the progress of an imported fanaticism" which seeks "to weaken the bonds of our Union." Needless to say Dallas's position has come down on the wrong side of history.<br /> <br /> OCLC records just a single copy of this pamphlet at Princeton and there is a copy at the Library Company.

1851List3523Massachusetts and New York 1851. Sixteen letters totaling fifty-seven pages. Folded else Fine. A collection of sixteen letters written to John Hall Watson 1820–1901 from various family and friends shortly after Watson’s departure for Europe in March or April of 1851. Correspondents are his brother Benjamin Franklin “Frank†Watson 1826–1905; family friends John H. Kimball – and Joshua Foster Burgess 1827–1908; and his wife Elizabeth Merrill Watson 1829–1859.<br /> <br /> Frank Watson’s letters which total ten pages highlight the group. Watson was a prominent attorney in Lawrence Massachusetts was appointed the town’s Postmaster elected City Solicitor published the Democratic newspaper The Lawrence Sentinel and was present as a Major in the 6th Massachusetts Regiment1—the first unit in the Union Army to suffer casualties when they were fired upon by civilians during the 1861 Baltimore riot. At this time however the younger Watson had not yet attained this level of success. Instead he was a trial lawyer working under Daniel Saunders Jr.—son of one of Lawrence’s founders and later the city’s mayor—about whom Watson has numerous complaints:<br /> <br /> “I hardly know what to say to you about my business and prospects – I must confess that it seems to me that even if I remain in the law I had full as well separate from Saunders as to keep with him. He is selfish and grasping and has a powerful notion of his own importance and superiority which is decidedly more apparent to him than to any more distant observer. . I could put up with these things if I was getting a living from this business. It is clear that I am not – there is nominally from 10 to 1500$ coming to me this year but I shall not see $500 of it between this and next January. Daniel is in want of all the money he can get his hands hold of and he takes it without rendering any account therefore on the books and I trust luck to find it out. This is not done for the purpose of cheating me I presume but I have no doubt that it is intentionally done for the purpose of useing the amount without my knowledge so that I may consider myself bound to share everything I receive in. . I am not going to be bamboozled by the Saunders tribe any longer – I am going to have my rights strictly fully and as though they truly belonged to me or I am going to take a stand which will compel him to buy me out or remain in a very uncomfortable situation. . In the first place I am to devote every instant of time between 8 Oclock in the morning until 9 Oclock at night to the office business or else the office will have to be closed as I am of course the only one responsible in the concern.†May 11<br /> <br /> Watson also provides his brother with much detail about the cases he was currently trying—noting that “Daniel has only tried one case and got beat at that†while he “had 13 deposed of and only two have been decided†against him April 26—including a fraud case in which:<br /> <br /> “the judge once or twice tried to resist me but let me go to the jury on my persisting on a right to do so he then instead of charging argued for an hour and quarter against me telling the jury in some many words that there were no evidence of fraud – the jury went out at 2 ½ Oclock and came in at 10 ½ next morning with a verdict for me – much to the chagrin of His Honor and much to the disappointment of the opposing counsel Wrights who offered to bet 50$ that they would get a verdict after the jury had gone out . The whole bar were tremendously tickled to see the jury go against the judge so. . The judge has been as good as honey to me ever since.†April 26<br /> <br /> Despite fighting for the Union Frank Watson was a Democrat and comments on the April 1851 arrest of Thomas Sims:<br /> <br /> “There has since your departure been a great excitement in Boston on the arrest of one Sims a ‘fugitive’ – the military were under arms during the trial which lasted over a week. He was safely taken off by water to Savannah where on landing the papers report that he made a speech thanking his stars that he had got out of the hands of the abolitionists.†April 26<br /> <br /> On the subject of abolitionist politics John Kimball writes:<br /> <br /> “Yesterday Charles Sumner was elected Senator to Congress for six years it being the 26th balloting. He had just the number of votes necessary to a choice; the free soil stork is rising and that party is in a high state of felicity. The whig city government of Boston have refused Faneuil Hall for Danl Webster to speak in – he has made his last bid for the Presidency & it not come to him – poor fellow! he has seen his best days .†April 26<br /> <br /> Webster had fallen from popularity and been denied a speech at Faneuil Hall in large part because of his support for the Compromise of 1850 and its Fugitive Slave Act which had resulted in the arrest and re-enslavement of Thomas Sims as Watson mentions.<br /> <br /> Kimball also reports on a fire in a mill whose owner “Mr Bois†“wants the matter kept shady†and on sales of cloth and clothing items—Kimball was located in Lowell. Joshua Burgess writes of the state of business in New York City:<br /> <br /> “Mr. Clark came in and bo’t sixty dollars worth of collars he is a hard old chap beat us down then said you could buy the same thing cheaper here than we offered to him he went out said he could get the same otherwheres for half the money was gone about an hour came back and took all we had at our price he is worse than Lowell Factory Girls.†April 29<br /> <br /> John Watson's wife Elizabeth writes from Holyoke mainly updating him on her health and worries for his safety and “blessing the inventor of steam navigation†and the telegraph ND though she also informs him that he is “allowed to look at the ladies just look enough to gratify my curiosity†about how “lovely†they are May 7.<br /> <br /> Of interest to historians of the politics and industry of pre-war Massachusetts.<br /> <br /> 1 Paul Russinoff “A Savior of the Capitol†Military Images Magazine April 9 2021. unknown
