New English Paperback. Pbo. Roy. 8vo. (24 x 17 cm). In Turkish. 444 p. 1864 Vilayet nizamnamesi. 1864 Vilayet Nizamnamesi ve getirdikleri, günümüzü anlamak için tarihten ders çikarmak isteyenlere son derece önemli bilgiler sunmaktadir. Mülkiye mezunu, Hukuk Mektebi muallimlerinden Ismail Hakki Bey (Göreli), 1911`de yayinladigi Hukuk-u Idare kitabinda Nizamnamenin köklerini Gülhane Hatti`na kadar uzatarak. "vilayetin merkeze kaviyyen rabti esbabina tevessül edildigini" söylemistir. Iki yil sonra Hukuk Mektebi`nin bir diger müderrisi Mustafa Seref Bey nizamnamenin yayinlanisiyla ilgili daha etrafli açiklamalar yapmisti; "Herseyden evvel inhilal (dagilma) haline gelen kuvve-i merkeziyeyi diriltmek, isyanlarin intilallerin önünü almak için siki bir merkeziyete lüzum ve ihtiyaç vardi. Su lüzum ve ihtiyaç 1281 (1864) tarihli teskilat nizamnamesini vucüda getirdi". Osmanli idare hukuku profesörleri yorumlariyla modern devletin tasraya nüfuz etmesi ile ayrilikçi hareketler arasinda baglantilar kurmuslardi. Söz konusu tespitler, Osmanli moderlesmesinin en önemli açmazlarindan birini teskil etmekteydi. Midhat Pasa, Fuat Pasa ve Cevdet Pasa gibi nizamnameyi biçimlendiren devlet adamlarinin düsünceleri ve eylemleri, sadece Osmanli 19. Yüzyilini degil Cumhuriyetin mülki teskilatini belirlemistir.

Dated the fourteenth day of September 1870. " To the Sheriff of Any County Kansas: Whereas requisition in due form has been made by the Governor of the State of Illinois of one John Randell a fugitive from justice who stands charged with the crime of Forgery.

The warrant is Very Good printed on this paper that has been backed with thicker construction paper at some point written parts faded but mostly legible with State Seal lower left numered 33 top left and with three engravings. James M. Harvey was the fifth Governor of Kansas and served in the U.S. Senate: January 11 1869 to January 13 1873 serving the remainder of the term of Alexander Caldwell upon his resignation. Harvey earned the nickname "Old Honesty" through his years of service. Kansas Secretary of State Thomas Moonlight was appointed Governor of Wyoming Territory by President Cleveland on January 5 1887 serving until April 9 1889. On February 4th 1889 Governor Moonlight signed a pardon for twenty year old Harry Longabaugh who later became known as the "Sundance Kid". Moonlight was also Minister to Bolivia for President Cleveland from 1893 to 1897 where ironically the Sundance Kid and Butch Cassidy were gunned down by the Bolivian military in 1906. While Harvey's signature is found in current commerce none were found of Moonlight's in online searches. A unique bit of Western Americana. J. F. Cummings, Printer to the State of Kansas unknown
18730399131873. Original manuscript. Hardcover. 48pp of handwritten sentiments from friends and family; four engraved plates tissue guards title-page vignette. Bound in red morocco blind-stamped decorations chrome-litho floral pieces on both covers gilt cover lettering and spine decorations all edges gilt. 8.25" x 6.5". Pieces of spine covering chipped from both ends; internally in very good condition. Many of the entires in this album were written at Tiskilwa Mt. Carroll and Rochelle all in Illinois and a few others are from Boston Orange NJ and St. Louis. Most are in ink a few in fading but readable pencil. Several contain richly calligraphed phrases or titles within their text while one woman offers three animal sketches 2 dogs and a buck. Some of the non-calligraphic hands are nevertheless beautiful and flowing illustrating the importance of penmanship in the school curricula of the day. Many entries contain short poems and some of these appear to be original since they mention “Mary†or “my sister†etc. ~~ Mary's album documents the prevailing sentiments of the era with inspirational messages on the importance of living a Christian life trusting in God/Jesus etc. Only a few are of the “remember me†variety. Some writings take up a full page including those of her father William R. Webb and her mother both religious. There are also entries by her father-in-law B. Lichty who signs with “Bless you is the prayer of your unworthy father†and by her sister Ada. One signer Will P. Hallett of Mt. Carroll writes that he’s signing the book “although I have not as yet formed your acquaintance†and goes on to hope that if they don’t meet “in this sinful world may God help us to meet around his throne….†An entry from Mrs. C.B. Boyer notes that “One year ago you came to us as a stranger and today you leave for your new home.†and concludes with sending her good wishes. The only signer of historical note seems to be Joseph Morris Ray who signed as “your friend†in June 1873 and later became an Iowa attorney and State Senator 1893-95 after residing in Mt. Carroll for many years. hardcover
