New. $39.95 Based on McLaughlin's Anson G. Phelps Lectures on Early American History delivered at New York University in 1932 this important study locates the principles of the United States Constitution in the political philosophy of colonial New England Puritan practices and the ideals of English personal rights and limited government common to all of the colonies. Andrew C. McLaughlin 1861-1947 received bachelor degree and law degrees from the University of Michigan. He taught Latin and history at Michigan until 1906 when he joined the history faculty at the University of Chicago. McLaughlin served as department chair of history from 1906 to 1927 as professor until 1929 and as a professor emeritus from 1929 to 1936. Along with The Foundations of American Constitutionalism his list of major works includes The Courts The Constitution and Parties 1912 Steps in the Development of American Democracy 1920 and A Constitutional History of the United States 1935 which won a Pulitzer Prize in 1936. unknown books
2008487262008. ISBN-13: 9781584778202; ISBN-10: 1584778202. Provocative Study of the Ninth Amendment Patterson Bennett B. The Forgotten Ninth Amendment. A Call for Legislative and Judicial Recognition of Rights under Social Conditions of Today. Introduction by Roscoe Pound. Originally published: Indianapolis: The Bobbs Merrill Company Inc. 1955. ix 217 pp. Reprinted 2008 2019 by The Lawbook Exchange Ltd. ISBN-13: 9781584778202; ISBN-10: 1584778202. Hardcover. New. $39.95 This provocative essay considers the historical background meaning and effect of the Ninth Amendment which states "the enumeration in the Constitution of certain rights shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people." Patterson feels the amendment was "forgotten" because no real purpose has been found for it. He argues that the amendment would become valuable if it was construed to incorporate the doctrine of natural law which he ranks above constitutional rights. Moreover this doctrine should serve to restrict federal and state power. "Mr. Patterson does the law and juristic and political thinking a real service in calling attention specifically to the Ninth Amendment. The declaration of natural rights in the Ninth Amendment is not something to be relegated to a lumber room of outworn juristic or political ideas. The task is rather to make the natural law and natural rights as believed in by the founders." Roscoe Pound Introduction iii "Since its publication scholars and judges of every political stripe have accepted Patterson's picture of an amendment lying dormant and forgotten prior to the twentieth century." Kurt T. Lash The Lost History of the Ninth Amendment 2009 "Whether the reader agrees with Mr. Patterson's contentions or not the sincerity of his views cannot be gainsaid and his treatment of the subject is stimulating and provocative.

Special $25. "My name will survive as long as man survives because I am writing the greatest diary that has ever been written. I intend to surpass Pepys as a diarist." When John Frush Knox 1907-1997 wrote these words he was in the middle of law school and his attempt at surpassing Pepys-part scrapbook part social commentary and part recollection-had already reached 750 pages. His efforts as a chronicler might have landed in a family attic had he not secured an eminent position after graduation as law clerk to Justice James C. McReynolds-arguably one of the most disagreeable justices to sit on the Supreme Court-during the tumultuous year when President Franklin D. Roosevelt tried to "pack" the Court with justices who would approve his New Deal agenda. Knox's memoir instead emerges as a record of one of the most fascinating periods in American history. The Forgotten Memoir of John Knox-edited by Dennis J. Hutchinson and David J. Garrow-offers a candid at times naive insider's view of the showdown between Roosevelt and the Court that took place in 1937. At the same time it marvelously portrays a Washington culture now long gone. Although the new Supreme Court building had been open for a year by the time Knox joined McReynolds' staff most of the justices continued to work from their homes each supported by a small staff. Knox the epitome of the overzealous and officious young man after landing what he believes to be a dream position continually fears for his job under the notoriously rude and nakedly racist justice. But he soon develops close relationships with the justice's two black servants: Harry Parker the messenger who does "everything but breathe" for the justice and Mary Diggs the maid and cook. Together they plot and sidestep around their employer's idiosyncrasies to keep the household running while history is made in the Court. A substantial foreword by Dennis Hutchinson and David Garrow sets the stage and a gallery of period photos of Knox McReynolds and other figures of the time gives life to this engaging account unknown books

Munsell wrote of this piece in his annotated copy: "This was written by Mip Gibbons to describe a fancy dress ball given at the expense of Henry Yates who occupied the Kane Mansion on South Pearl Street. It was conceived and arranged by E. R. Satterlee who had married a niece of Mr. Yates and had a genius for the fine arts . Mr. Satterlee was a wine and tea merchant in State Street succeeding his father who was successor of Mancius & Le Breton - famous in their day. Mr. S. moved to New York and engaged in insurance at 161 Broadway. This ball was the most famous affair that had ever been got up in Albany. In this work no words are divided at the ends of the lines. I set the type with my own hands at a time when I could do and enjoy such recreation - for type setting was always a recreation.

New. $39.95 Lizzie Borden 1860-1927 was tried and acquitted for the 1892 axe murders of her father and stepmother in Fall River Massachusetts. Speculation continues today about the sensational case that produced a famous nursery rhyme. Although she was acquitted no one else was ever charged with the murders and Borden lived out her life in Fall River. Compiled immediately after Borden's sensational trial the author aims to provide "a connected story of the whole case commencing with the day of the tragedy and ending with the day that Miss Borden was set free." He touches on such topics as the discovery of the murders the adjournment of the preliminary hearing and some the many theories that were advanced before any arrests were made. The book is handsomely illustrated with photos and line illustrations of the deceased the accused the jury and others. Edwin H. Porter 1864-1904 was the Police Reporter for the Fall River Daily Globe and a correspondent for the Boston Herald. Accounts that he was paid to leave town and disappear after the book was published are incorrect. He continued as a reporter and was still employed by the Globe when he died of tuberculosis at age thirty-nine. unknown books

Reprint of the final revised and expanded edition. Especially significant because it had a direct influence on legislation this "Bible of the Reformers" is a model of investigatory pamphleteering in the cause of representative democracy. The long struggle to transform Great Britain into a modern state was effected primarily through the gradual expansion of the electorate which was accomplished though the Reform Acts of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. In the earlier era as the growth of industry shook the traditional agrarian economy dominated by the landholding aristocracy the accompanying campaign to transform government by weaning power from traditional loci was conducted through a mass of books pamphlets and other printed matter. The Extraordinary Black Book which went through several editions between 1820 and 1832 was the most important of these. As the editor explained: "Government has been a corporation and had the same interests and the same principles of action as monopolists. It has been supported by other corporations; the Church has been one the Agriculturists another the Boroughs a third the East-India Company a fourth and the Bank of England a fifth: all these and interests like these constituted the citadel and out-works of its strength and the first object of each has been to shun investigation. We have however rent the vail." Advertisement to the New Edition iv-v. Printing and the Mind of Man calls this "a massive compendium of all the abuses electoral ecclesiastical legal which they sought to abolish" 1967:180. unknown books
