This Edition is published under the direct supervision of the LAW REPORTER OF THE NEW YORK HERALD, and is the only one containing the Suppressed Testimony. Edwin Forrest (1806-1872) was born in Philadelphia to the impoverished runaway son of a Scottish squire and the daughter of middle-class German immigrants. He is generally acknowledged as the first star and grand tragedian of the American stage. Forrest's power derived mainly from his commanding physique. He stood five feet ten inches tall with a noticeably muscular build (he always favored roles which allowed him to display his massive arms and legs), that on stage made him appear like a giant. Combined with a magnetic presence, a deep, penetrating voice, sdonic good looks, his acting was an overwhelming experience. In the 1840's mutual jealousy and machinations lead to a serious feud with the English actor William Charles Macready. In May 1849, when Macready was acting Macbeth at the Astor Place Opera House in New York, the friends of Forrest hissed and interrupted the performance. Things snowballed out of control, coming to a head in the bloody Astor Place New York Riots in which 23 died and hundreds were injured. Forrest almost certainly had a hand in provoking this incident. In 1851 a second event leading to his wane in popularity was the divorce from his wife. After a two year court battle during which time each had quite publicly, and probably accurately, accused the other of infidelity (Forrest being connected with Josephine Clifton). The trial lasted thirty-two days and ended with Mr Forrest losing the case, his wife being granted alimony of $3,000 per year. Crowds cheered as she left the court. He followed up the verdict with five appeals. Forrest had his own supporters, and continued to play to sold out theatres (during intermissions he made passionate speeches about the trial). To the end of his life he was an injured and bitter man. Very good. Hardbound. Cohen. Bibliography of Early American Law 11443. **PRICE JUST REDUCED! AI BX 3

020927Alfred Naquet (1834-1916), chimiste, médecin, homme politique, promoteur du divorce. L.A.S. + enveloppe, Paris, 21 novembre 1909, 1p in-8. A Laurent Tailhade (1854-1919), poète, écrivain, pamphlétaire, probablement au moment de l'envoi de son ouvrage La Feuille à l'envers. « Mon cher ami, j'ai reçu votre plaquette ; je l'ai lue avec un nouveau plaisir. Mais je veux surtout vous remercier de la dédicace si flatteuse et surtout si affectueuse pour moi que vous y avez mise. Elle m'a sincèrement touché, car su elle exagère mes mérites, elle n'exagère ni l'amitié que vous avez pour moi ni celle que j'ai pour vous. Quand viendrez-vous me fournir l'occasion de vous témoigner de vive voix mes sentiments de gratitude ? Amitié cordiale. A.Naquet. Vous vous battez comme un lion quoique ce ne doive pas être facile de manier une épée lorsqu'on n'a qu'un oeil ». [508]
020928Alfred Naquet (1834-1916), chimiste, médecin, homme politique, promoteur du divorce. L.A.S., Paris, 26 novembre 1911, 3p in-12. A Laurent Tailhade (1854-1919), poète, écrivain, pamphlétaire. « Mon bien cher ami, Tout à l'heure, je cherchais dans ma bibliothèque le livre de Mermeix sur l'Angleterre "aperçus inconnus" que j'avais besoin de consulter et je ne l'ai pas trouvé. Je me suis alors demandé à qui je pouvais bien l'avoir prêté, et quoique ma mémoire sur ce point soit très confuse, il m'a paru que c'était vous. Je n'en suis malheureusement rien de moins que certain. Mais si par hasard c'était exacte, vous seriez bien aimable de me le renvoyer, sauf à la reprendre ensuite si vous n'en avez pas achevé la lecture. & si, mieux inspiré encore, vous me le rapportiez vous-même en me prévenant du jour et de l'heure afin que je ne vous manque pas, je serais tout-à-fait heureux car cela me vaudrait le plaisir, dont je suis vraiment trop sevré de tailler une bavette avec vous. Croyez mon cher ami à ma toujours bien vive amitié & veuillez présenter à madame Tailhade, avec les meilleurs souvenirs de ma femme, l'expression de mes sentiments respectueux, sans oublier Laurence qui devient peut-être déjà très grande fille sans doute mais pas encore, allez-vous m'empêcher de lui envoyer un baiser. A. Naquet ». Peu commun. [508]
