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

Issued on the anniversary of the supposed plot against the King of Portugal by the Jesuits the "Lei de expulsão da Companhia de Jesus de Portugal e seus Domínios" of September 3 1759 promugated on October 3 1759 condemned the Jesuits as rebels and traitors banishing them from all Portuguese territiories under pain of death along with anyone who either helped or communicated with them. It was the culmination of a long list of actions by the Marquês de Pombal who was behind these laws and who had written in a letter to Conde de Unhão in February before the law was published that "nothing can be omitted or ought to be omitted to disarm the Jesuits' diabolical machinations so that they may not be reborn and any hidden roots remain in our land." This was reflected in the document which accused the Jesuits of attempting to assassinate the king ruin the kingdom destroy Portugal and "clandestinely pursuing the usurpation of the entire state of Brazil with such an artificial and so violent progress that if it was not promptly and effectively shut down".the Company of Jesus' goal would be accomplished. "within a space of less than ten years and become inaccessible and insurmountable."
