186351369Hartford: J.M. Scofield & Co. State Printers 1863. Hardcover. Small 4to. Blind-embossed pebble-grain burgundy cloth with gilt spine lettering and medallion. 384pp. Very good. Spine of otherwise-lovely binding is quite sunned; tight and internally near fine with occasional touch of foxing. Handsome copy of this in-depth collection of daily proceedings of this institution opening with May 6 and closing with July 11. For anyone wanting to study the speeches resolutions motions acts anything and everything that comes before this legislative branch the Senate proceedings are as in-the-weeds as they come. This special copy bears a fine presentation inscription in brown ink on the front flyleaf from Connecticut's lieutenant governor to his eldest son: "Arthur H. Averill / Danbury Nov 24 AD 1863 / With the affection of / Roger Averill." Roger Averill 1809-83 was a notable Connecticut attorney and politician and served as that state's Civil War lieutenant governor from 1862 to 1865 under Governor William B. Buckingham. Arthur H. Averill 1845-94 was the eldest of his six children an attorney who served the city of Danbury. There is a great deal of Civil War content of every sort major and minor buried in these pages. After page 358 the journal switches to "The Executive Journal of the Senate of the State of Connecticut" with second title page opening with mention of "His Honor Roger Averill President." Since Connecticut's lieutenant governor also serves as President of the Senate Averill identified simply as "The President" appears frequently throughout this volume. Here and there are occasional light pencil margin squiggles no doubt where recipient Arthur Averill noted items of interest. J.M. Scofield & Co., State Printers hardcover
