18472301030038James Lusk City of Jefferson 1847. First Edition. Hardcover. Good. Black Codes: Anti-abolitionist laws in Missouri Bound in contemporary leather. Hardcover. Mylar cover. Some wear rubbing with loss to extremities. Hinges cracked. Scattered toning. 398 pages ; 23 cm. Includes anti-abolitionist laws preventing free negroes from emigrating to the state keeping negroes illiterate to suppress negro preachers by requiring police officers to be present to prevent "all seditious speeches and disorderly and unlawful conduct of every kind" and to restrict meetings and assemblies and to fine free negroes and imprison them if they enter into Missouri. "In 1847 the General Assembly passed an act stating that 'No person shall keep or teach any school for the instruction of negroes or mulattos in reading or writing in this State.' An uneducated black population made white citizens feel more secure against both abolitionists and slave uprisings although it probably did little to suppress the desire for freedom. Numerous persons and organizations defied the law. In addition meetings religious or otherwise conducted by other African Americans were prohibited unless some sheriff constable marshal police officer etc. was present. Violations could receive a $500 fine six months in jail or both Laws 1847 pp. 103-104." - MISSOURI STATE ARCHIVES Missouri's Early Slave Laws: A History in Documents.

Good binding and covers. Internally clean unmarked pages. Some of the early volumes have restoration work where the paper has torn at the margins. Scattered State of Maryland stamps. The set appears to have been from the Court's library. An important legal reference of the supreme court of Maryland. Opinions are arranged chronologically. Each volume has a table of cases a list of the judges of the court an index of petitions for certiorari a table of statutes cited and an index digest. <br> According to Judge Bond the Court was reformed in the 1851 Maryland Constitution which required a written opinion to be printed. For this reason the Reports begin in 1851. Many of the early Reports deal with slavery and "negroes". A few of the more interesting cases include: Northern Central Company vs. Mary Ann Scholl 1860 where the Court ruled that a railway company was liable for the loss of a slave owner of a slave who escaped into free soil Pennsylvania via a train ticket. Adeline Brown vs. Maryland 1865. Brown was accused of encouraging a negro apprentice to flee their servitude. Slavery was abolished in the 1864 Maryland Constitution. To sidestep this inconvenient liberation an apprenticeship scheme was constructed by Maryland to keep black children in bondage involuntary indenture i.e. slavery by another name. The rationale behind this law was that blacks needed to be taught "the habits of industry" and that this was in the best interest of the child. In practice this meant that black children were forced to be servants without pay to their former masters without the right of their parents to have a say. It gave the Court the ability to make this contractual "binding" of master to apprentice until the age of 21. The legislature in keeping with past practices made it illegal to encourage "apprentices" to abscond. In Coston v. Coston 25 Md. 500 Md. 1866 Leah Coston a recently freed slave attempted to gain her children who were being held in this apprenticeship program by her former master. Maryland's apprenticeship program was appealed to the US Supreme Court in Re Turner where Justice Samuel P. Chase ruled decidedly against it. See Zachary S. Schultz's Coston v. Coston 25 Md. 500 Md. 1866: The Plight of One Family Out of Many Fighting Apprenticeship in Reconstruction Maryland. Other landmark cases include In re Taylor 1877 where the court ruled African Americans didn't have the right to practice law not changed until 1888. In re Etta H. Maddox 1901 the Maryland Court of Appeals ruled Women could not practice law in Maryland. This decision was overturned in 1902 when Maddox became the first female attorney in Maryland. In Murray v. University of Maryland Donald Murray a black Marylander successfully sued for admission to the University of Maryland School of Law based on the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. Baltimore NAACP attorneys Charles Hamilton Houston and Thurgood Marshall the future Supreme Court Justice argued for Murray. In Weyler v. Gibson 110 Md. 636 1909 the Court ruled in favor of the state taking private property for the expansion of the Maryland State Penitentiary. The case featured the right of the state to use eminent domain and condemnation against a private property owner. In totality the Reports of the Maryland Court of Appeals show the gradual and hard-fought advancement of the rights of all people in Maryland. The Reports illustrate the evolution of Maryland from a conservative Southern agricultural state where the black population was denied basic freedoms to one that guaranteed equal protection under the law. Maryland served as the beachhead for the Nathan Ross Margold and the NAACP's legal strategy of attacking "separate but equal" in Murray and in Williams v. Zimmerman. <br> This collection represents an important history of Maryland law unlikely to be offered for sale again. This is an extremely large and heavy set that requires additional postage for delivery. Annapolis : Robert F. Bonsall; Baltimore: M. Curlander; State of Maryland; Michie Company hardcover

First edition of an antiquarian classic by John Selden 1584-1654 eminent jurist polymath prolific scholar and in recent times celebrated for his ownership of the earliest surviving Chinese merchant map of East Asia re-discovered with justifiable fanfare as a treasure of the Bodleian Library by Robert Batchelor in 2008. <br> <br>At the time of its release Selden's "The History of Tithes": "gave great offense to the clergy and was vigorously refuted in a number of volumes to which Selden was forbidden the right to print replies" Pforzheimer. It has been noted that the absence of the printer's name and the place of publication showed that Selden anticipated an unfavourable reaction to his denial of divine right of tithes. He was not disappointed. The work was suppressed and Selden was forced to apologize for having given offense-- and the book was withdrawn from circulation. His work was much studied: this copy with early marginalia: "by this Historie the Right of tithing belong not to ye profession of ye Canonist Civilian or Divine but with Lawyers." the last three words hastily crossed out. <br> <br>Early owners include London Antiquary Thomas Bryan Richards whose extensive Library was sold by King & Lochée in 1812. .

192259401Framingham MA: R.H. Long Bay State Automobile Company 1922. Oblong 4to. 15 linen-backed silver gelatin photographs on thick matte finish paper white linen hinges at gutter margin two brass screwposts at spine very slight shelfwear rubbing NF. These dealer showroom sales photographs depict the inaugural model year of the short-lived Bay State Automobile founded and manufactured by Long in Framingham MA. Initially a shoe manufacturer he had initially begun manufacturing automobile bodies for the Franklin Automobile Co. based in Syracuse NY during World War I and afterwards became inspired to build his own. The Bay State Automobile Company featured a Continental Motors Co. 6-cylinder engine and introduced his “assembled†automobile at the 1922 New York Auto Show. It’s estimated that approximately 4000 Bay States were produced during the four years and were often successful in popular automobile travel endurance contests at the time. The photographs here open with the 2-door sedan fitted with a Continental package on the rear and white wall tires followed by young well-dressed women driving a 2-door coupe 7-passenger 4-door sedan 4-door touring car and 2-door roadster. Of additional interest are the photographs of the R.H. Long Factory formerly used for shoe manufacturing including five photos showing the labor intensive process of building the wooden frame covered in steel bodies machinery & the factory floor along with two showing side & upper views of the chassis and Continental straight-6 engine. In 1927 Long secured the Cadillac dealership contract which initially sold both La Salle and Cadillac models in competition with Packard and the company still operates to this day in Southborough MA. It is believed only one Bay State Automobile a 1927 model survives intact to this day.

48167Minneapolis: privately printed 2015. Edition limited to 50 copies this being one of 45 there are 5 artist's proofs; small tall folio pp. 24; illustrations in the text 1 full-page and in color large double-page folding plate printed in color; original stiff orange wrappers with gilt vignette the whole in a plexiglass slipcase. As new at the published price. Electric Tulips 5.1 was conceived as a dialogue between an imaginary literary critic Gallo and the poet Gallo and revolves around the writing and presentation of his poem Electric Tulips 5.1. The essay which results Future Preterite by the esteemed critic Alessandro S. Stompanado is intended to emulate that of the essay by James Joyce written under the pseudonym Vladimir Dixon; and which appeared in the Sylvia Beach publication of 1929: Our Exagmination Round His Factification for Incamination of Work in Progress in which Joyce writes an appreciation of his own novel Ulysses. As such the book is a multi-layered pastiche of both literary and typographic treatments along with a magnificent double gatefold presentation of the poem in eight colors each of the seven stanzas in a separate color and the seminal tulip in an eighth; the type all set by hand and printed letterpress and polymer from Permanent Headline Open from the now defunct foundry Ludwig & Mayer. privately printed unknown
