179939795Knoxville 1799. 7 works bound together octavo. 7 3/8 x 4 5/8 inches. First work lacks titlepage contemporary ownership inscription on first leaf present. Light foxing A few leaves trimmed closely at bottom edge affecting text. Contemporary calf spine gilt with red morocco label skillful repair to joints and corners. Housed within a black modern full morocco box.<br/> <br/>Provenance: J. Hamilton two signatures<br/> <br/>Possibly the greatest single volume of early Tennessee material with the second known complete copy of the First Tennessee Constitution in fine original condition.<br/> <br/>Seven works from the earliest pioneer press of Tennessee including the first printing of the National Constitution printed in the state as well as the first State Constitution here in the second known complete copy. Such imprints have not appeared on the market since World War II. In February 1790 North Carolina ceded its western land holdings to the United States. A few months later the area became the newly created Territory of the United States South of the River Ohio. William Blount was appointed territorial governor by President Washington and in 1795 he called a meeting of the territorial legislature to request a referendum for statehood. Thus the state of Tennessee was born on June 1 1796. George Roulstone the first printer in Tennessee began a newspaper in Knoxville in late 1791. The earliest Tennessee imprint noted by McMurtrie is a set of acts passed by the territorial government printed after March 25th 1793. Since then two earlier items have come to light; a broadside owned by Thomas W. Streeter dated Jan. 28 1793 and a broadside dated March 13 1793. The earliest dateable book present here was issued in 1794. The Tennessee State Constitution here in the first of three editions; it was to be revisited in 1835 and 1869 was created by Congress at the time Tennessee was admitted as a state and became effective on June 1 1796 when Tennessee entered the Union. It was not universally well received although Thomas Jefferson described it as the "least imperfect and most republican of the state constitutions." The first leaf and one title have the early ownership inscription of J. Hamilton possibly James Hamilton Jr. congressman and governor of South Carolina who read law in Charleston and was admitted to the bar in 1810. The individual titles are as follows: 1 Acts Passed at the First Session of the General Assembly of the Territory of the United States of America South of the River Ohio. Began and Held at Knoxville on Monday the Twenty Fifth day of August MDCCXCIV. Knoxville: George Roulstone 1794. 3-101pp. Lacks titlepage and preliminary viii pp. containing "Acts and ordinances of the governor and judges.as issued by William Blount."

178422886Philadelphia Pa. 1784. No binding. Good. Broadside. An Alarm. To the Freemen and Electors of Pennsylvania. Philadelphia Pa. October 1 1784. 1 p. 16 1/2 x 21 in. Excerpt:Please note that the traditional ""long-style s"" has been standardized.""Friends and countrymen The day is now approaching on which you are to determine whether Pennsylvania shall enjoy a free and just government or be ruled by the arbitrary wills of a few men who have lately composed the majority of the Council of Censors. I shall say nothing to you of their having refused to call a Convention to alter and amend the Constitution. It is well known that most of them disapprove of it; but they have sacrificed their judge-ments to their party resentments. Nor shall I dwell long upon the vast sum of money they have cost the state. Their wages and contingent expences amount to nearly TEN THOUSAND POUNDS. The whole expences of the government for the current year will not fall short of FIFTY THOUSAND POUNDS. One half of this sum might be saved by a few alterations in the Constitution: The remaining half in a few years would open roads to every part of the state and remove the principal obstructions in the navigation of the Schuylkill and Susquehannah. I shall briefly point out in the first place what the late majority of the Censors have done and secondly what they have not done.""Docketed on verso in unknown hand: ""Alarm by the Minority of Anson. October 1 1784.""Historical BackgroundPennsylvania's 1776 Constitution contained an unusual feature: it required a 24-member Council of Censors to be chosen every seven years and tasked with revising the state Constitution. This broadside harangues the current censors who ""refused to call a convention to alter and amend the Constitution"" while showing favoritism and fiscal irresponsibility. ""One of Minority of the Censors"" further chastises his brethren as ""the enemies of liberty and the violators of their own Constitution"" and urges the citizens of Pennsylvania to resist.Among the grievances were ""those settlers at Wioming who have encroached upon your territory and who claim one half the state after the Court of Congress at Trenton had declared their encroachments to be illegal"" and who had ""insulted the dignity of the legislature"" as well as ""refusing to recommend the repeal of the law which robbed the Trustees of the College of Philadelphia of their charter"" and ""refused to recommend the a revision of the test law which is not only contrary to the letter and spirit of the constitution but impolitic unjust inhuman and dangerous to the freedom of every individual in the state.""The Assembly finally called a constitutional convention in 1789 and revised in the Constitution in 1790. The new Constitution created a bicameral legislature elected by a general election of citizens a governor elected for a three-year term a judiciary appointed by the governor and removable through impeachment and protection of rights.Evans 18321; Hildeburn 4418.Condition Unrestored: light dampstaining in margins central vertical tear edges chipped in several places.Sources""Pennsylvania Bar Association Constitutional Review Committee""http://www.pabarcrc.org/history.asp books
