190942908Albany NY: State of New York 1909. First edition. Very good clean copy with long tear repaired on th verso and tiny chips at one fold on map inch tear to fore edge of certificate and along bottom margin. Ink on drafting vellum with colored outlines. 15 x 24 inches. Docket sheet mounted to verso. In 1874 the Hudson Tunnel Railroad Company soon named the Hudson River Railway Company was formed to construct tunnels between Jersey City and Greenwich Village the route originally to be about two miles commencing at a point under the Hudson River in the westerly boundaryline of the state of New York opposite the foot of Clarkson street at the termination of the Hudson Tunnel Railroad Company of New Jersey and thence running by a feasible route under the bed of the river and beneath the surface of the city of New York to a point at or near the westerly side of Broadway between Prince and Eighth streets; from whence the line proceeds via Sixth avenue to Thirty-third street New York but stopped construction well before completion. The assets land partially-constructed tunnels trackage etc. were eventually sold to the newly-organized New York & Jersey Railroad incorporated on February 12 1902 under the leadership of William G. McAdoo who was later U.S. Treasury Secretary and which then became the Hudson and Manhattan Railroad 1906. The original of this profile was drafted in 1891 before the railroad collapsed and the present certified copy was prepared by the Secretary of State's office on February 25 1909 almost exactly one year after the official opening of the tunnel the Pennsylvania Railroad's North River Tunnels the second to burrow under the Hudson did not open until late 1910. The reason that a copy of the map was requested is not known but what is known is that the railroad was seeking to extend the Sixth Avenue line later as well as other related projects. Perhaps the map was needed to settle some land issue or in some legal negotiations as the pencilled word "referee" appears after two sets of initials. The tunnels still carry a heavy load of PATH train commuters between Jersey City and Manhattan. Similar maps are difficult to locate. The closest a printed "Map of Hudson & Manhattan Railroad Hudson tunnel system January 1908" is located at the University of Chicago and the Jersey City Historical Society.

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
