18387182Columbus Ohio: Samuel Medary Printer to the State 1838. First Edition. Hardcover. Very good-. Thick octavo 809pp. plus Appendices. A nearly very good unrestored copy in contemporary marbled paper over boards with brown morocco spine and black spine label done a bit amateurishly by the original binder which we find appealing. Corners rounded previous owner's stamp on the front paste-down front free endpaper mostly detached but holding. 20th-century notecard attached with paper clip to that same endleaf. Contents clean. Surprisingly rare compendium of the proceedings of Ohio's 37th General Assembly. Contents are diverse; there are motions to incorporate business and towns approvals of plans for canals and roadways and even occasional brief references to slavery and other political issues of the day. Though the title page is dated 1838 some of the recorded events are dated through part of 1839 while this may be an error the contents confirm that these are indeed the proceedings of the 37th session. OCLC records no physical or electronic holdings for this session and just one or two each for occasional years in the 1830s and 1840s. We note further that AAS retains a number of examples from other years in this period but not for the 37th General Assembly. None of these scarce volumes are noted in Morgan. The most recent auction record for any comparable example is from 1997. A richly detailed look at the legislative proceedings of Ohio when it was still more of a frontier state than an industrial powerhouse. Samuel Medary, Printer to the State hardcover
