186036243Springfield Chicago 1860. 16pp. Caption title as issued. Disbound else Very Good. <br /> <br /> This Illinois campaign document is probably the first of three printings each with similar but not identical material. Each attacks Douglas for hypocrisy on the question of Congressional power to control slavery in the Territories. Each paints him as an extreme Southern Rights partisan supporting the Dred Scott Decision and scuttling the Missouri Compromise. <br /> It is as Ernie Wessen noted "a most important Lincoln campaign document; quoting heavily from Lincoln's Columbus speech." <br /> In his early public career Douglas had extolled the immutable nature of the 1820 Missouri Compromise and insisted that Congress had full power over the Territories. But in 1854 leading the Kansas-Nebraska Act forces and advocating Popular Sovereignty he changed horses: only a Territory's inhabitants could decide whether to bar slavery within its borders. His attempt to reconcile the Dred Scott Decision with Popular Sovereignty and his unconcern with slavery as a social and moral question are mocked and scorned. <br /> FIRST EDITION. LCP 8794.

186040024Springfield 1860. Caption title as issued. Disbound else Very Good. <br /> <br /> This Illinois campaign document leads with the letter of Edward Bates the old Missouri Know-Nothing to Orville Browning endorsing the Lincoln-Hamlin ticket denouncing the "wanton and reckless" Democrats asserting that "the national government has sovereign power over the Territories and that it would be impolitic and unwise to use that power for the propagation of negro slavery." Lincoln is "a sound safe national man. He could not be sectional if he tried." <br /> Monaghan 27 records a separate printing of Bates's endorsement. Our document also prints the Republican Douglas Democrat and Breckinridge Democrat platforms; examines the pro-slavery record of Douglas's running mate Herschel Johnson of Georgia; chronicles the disastrous results of Douglas's Squatter Sovereignty policy and his failed position on "The Everlasting Nigger Question;" and finally prints Lincoln's and Hamlin's letters of acceptance.<br /> FIRST EDITION.

In Volume II the leaf for pages 409-410 is torn away at the fore edge with significant loss of text part of the Table of Contents it lists the contents of the last two chapters of the volume. There is heavy damping to the bottom half of the text blocks in both volumes and both volumes have soiling to the title pages and final leaves. Wide margins to the text. This was the copy of Junius Davis 1845-1916. Davis was a lawyer who was the son of George Davis the Attorney General of the Confederate States. Junius was born in Wilmington and studied at the Bingham School near Hillsborough before he enrolled in the Confederate Army at 17 serving with the Tenth North Carolina Regiment. He was in the Battles of Drewry's Bluff and Bermuda Hundred and was part of the attack on Fort Harrison. He was slightly wounded in the trenches around Petersburg during the last days of the war and was part of the retreat to Appomattox. He and some others were cut off from the main group and retreated into the woods only to hear the next day that Lee has surrendered. They were not certain of this and went to Lynchburg where they were advised to go home. They then returned to Greensboro North Carolina in hopes of joining up with Johnston but they learned that Johnston had surrendered there and so they turned themselves over to the Federal Provost Marshall. After the War Junius Davis studied law and joined his father at his law firm. There is a partial faint pencil signature on the torn half title of Volume I reading "Geo." This is likely his father George Davis. Although the Table of Contents at the end of Volume II is incomplete this is overall an attractive and sound set and contains an interesting provenance. <br/> <br/> Printed by A. T.

1963190111963. Trenton State Prison inmates photographed during the late twentieth century documenting daily life inside New Jersey's maximum security correctional institution between 1963 and 1991. Trenton State Prison one of the oldest operating prisons in the United States served as the state's primary maximum security facility housing prisoners convicted of the most serious offenses. The photographs capture scenes from within the institution and record aspects of inmate labor living conditions medical care and moments of daily interaction among prisoners. The archive is particularly notable for its documentation of African American inmates during a period when racial disparities within the American prison population and debates about incarceration were increasingly visible within public discourse.<br /> <br /> Photo archive consisting of nine silver gelatin press photographs taken at Trenton State Prison in New Jersey between 1963 and 1991. The images document a range of activities within the prison environment. One photograph shows an African American inmate working in the prison kitchen presenting a tray of freshly baked brownies. Another depicts several inmates gathered inside a small cell smoking cigarettes and socializing. Additional photographs show inmates wearing white prison uniforms while operating heavy machinery in work assignments. One image taken in a medical ward shows an inmate identified as an AIDS patient watching television while smoking. Another photograph records the removal of a wounded prisoner on a stretcher following violence associated with the 1976 disturbances at the prison when inmates gained access to weapons and opened fire toward an outside thoroughfare.<br /> <br /> American prisons during the later twentieth century became central sites of debate regarding incarceration prison conditions and racial inequality within the criminal justice system. Facilities such as Trenton State Prison housed large populations of African American inmates as the United States prison population expanded rapidly in the decades following the 1960s. Photographic documentation of prison life remains comparatively uncommon due to restricted access to correctional institutions making press photographs an important visual source for understanding the internal environments of prisons. Nine silver gelatin press photographs measuring approximately 9.5 x 6.5 inches to 10 x 8 inches. Minor wear consistent with handling; overall condition very good. unknown

19587182Iowa 1958. Collection of sixty two vintage black and white or color gelatin silver photographs individually approx. 9 x 12.5 cm. most mounted on eight loose photo pages with handwritten dates to rectos and some with captions on the versos. Age-toning to the color photographs with a few items with corner chips from mounts. Several loose photos and several spaces on the pages where photos appear to have been removed. Still overall very good as a collection. ~ A collection of photographs depicting hamburger stands and luncheonettes between the years 1952 and 1958 taken at the annual Iowa State Fair. Although the food served at each stand varies from hamburgers to fried chicken; each stand has a 7UP logo. These photos were likely taken by a representative of 7UP or someone from the State Fair committee as some of the handwritten captions mention how long the sign was in existence most are dated with the year of the State Fair. A photo caption of the sign for the stand of Christ Church Evangelical United Brethren reads "2nd year for sign"; another of a stand with signs on the front and sides reads "first year for both signs." The color photos have a Kodak stamp on the verso and are mostly taken between 1952 and 1954. While the intention may have been to document the 7UP advertising there is more recorded in the photos as well. The signs announce the offerings of each stand: "Hot Lunches" Fried Chicken" "Good Coffee!" and "Ice Cream Sandwiches" as well as the owner's who appear to be small family or single-owner operations such as Opie's Funroy and Wheeler Graham's CEC & PEG Don's Larsen's Turner's Jean & Shirley the aforementioned Christ Church Evangelical United Brethren and the White Front Café. Some that are not identified by name on the same have a short manuscript note indicating the proprietors. Styles of seating vary with stool low benches or no seating and just a walk up wooden counter. A more official looking business is the State Fair Store housed in a permanent wooden building and offering "Groceries Meats Picnic Supplies". The people of the fair appear in some images either working behind the counter sitting at the stools or benches or just milling about. An interesting collection of 1950s state fair food stands with a tie to the renowned fizzy beverage. unknown books
1841643Washington D.C. 1841. 4to. 253 x 203 mm. 10 x 8 inches. 2 pp. folded sheet. Watermarked. Docketed. Fine legible hand. Contemporary copy.  On March 20 1841 during the administration of President William H. Harrison the following circular designed to limit political activity of public servants was issued by the Hon. Daniel Webster Secretary of State: "The President is of opinion that it is a great abuse to bring the patronage of the General Government into conflict with the freedom of elections and that this abuse ought to be corrected wherever it may have been permitted to exist and to be prevented for the future. "He therefore directs that information be given to all officers and agents in your Department of the public service that partisan interference in popular elections whether of State officers or officers of this Government and for whomsoever or against whomsoever it may be exercised or the payment of any contribution or assessment on salaries or official compensation for party-election purposes will be regarded by him as cause of removal. "It is not intended that any officer shall be restrained in the free and proper expression and maintenance of his opinions respecting public men or public measures or in the exercise to the fullest degree of the constitutional right of suffrage. But persons employed under the Government and paid for their services out of the Public Treasury are not expected to take an active or officious part in attempts to influence the minds or votes of others such conduct being deemed inconsistent with the spirit of the Constitution and the duties of public agents acting under it; and the President is resolved so far as depends upon him that while the exercise of the elective franchise by the people shall be free from undue influence of official station and authority opinion shall also be free among the officers and agents of the Government." John Bell 1796 -1869 to whom this circular was addressed was one of Tennessee's most prominent antebellum politicians. He served in the House of Representatives the Senate and was Speaker of the House for the 23rd Congress. He briefly served as Secretary of War during the administration of William Henry Harrison 1841. Docketed on p. 4 in ink by Bell "J.B." indicating this was referred to the different bureaus of the War Department dated in ink at the War Dept. promptly on March 23rd. There were many later challenges and revisions to the law in the circular. The Hatch Act of 1939 officially An Act to Prevent Pernicious Political Activities prohibited employees in the executive branch of the federal government except the president vice-president and certain designated high-level officials of that branch from engaging in some forms of political activity. The law was named for Senator Carl Hatch of New Mexico. unknown books

Neatly signed, without inscription, by William O. Douglas upon half-title page. Stated first edition. xiv, 338 pages. Glossary. Map endpapers. Black and white photographic frontis portrait of author. "A book of personal adventure and discovery. An account of the way Douglas - and other men - found a richer life in the rugged mountains of the Pacific Northwest where a man can 'find deep solitude and, under conditions of grandeur that are startling, he can come to know both himself and God'". - from dust jacket. Douglas was nominated to the U.S. Supreme court by FDR and served the longest term in its history, 1939-1975. Average wear to unmarked book. Binding sound. Above-average wear to dust jacket now preserved in archival-grade Brodart. Includes two detailed newsclippings circa 1930s about Walla Walla pioneer George T. Welch. Also included is a 1969 newsclipping in which Douglas explains how and why a man changes when he becomes a member of the Supreme Court. Book
Approximately 500 pages. The first 204 pages consist entirely of a trove of 73 fascimile reprints of classified American documents, some or all of which we assume were captured by Iranian students when they overran the American embassy in Teheran at the onset of the Iranian hostage crisis. Titles of these documents include: Planning for the Shah to Come to the U.S.; Goals and Objectives in Iran; Iranian Revolution a CIA Plot; Ali Reza Farahmand; Conversation with the Mayor of Abadan; Mehdi Rowghani; Meeting with Radical Movement Leader Moghadam Maragheie; Country Plan Proposal. Balance of text is in a different language, presumably Farsi. English portion undated but probably printed circa 1980. Includes four pages of color photos of the contents of what appears to be the passport of one Thomas Leo Ahern, Jr. Unmarked with average wear. Presumably an expose of America's clandestine foreign policy affecting Iran in the late 1970s. Book
