A large and impressive photograph of the Stanwix Hall Hotel dating to around the end of the Civil War. The photograph shows the large four-story hotel from an elevated height across the corner of the building showing the full length of two sides of the building. Men with top hats and women with parasols are shown on two balconies and in the open windows. Three horse-drawn carriages and a buckboard are also shown. Several other people stand in the doorway and one man leans against a large gas lamp. Two businesses are visible on the ground floor one owned by "T. Flanagan" and the other a "Wholesale Liquor Store" which also sells tobacco and cigars. A sign for a wood coal yard is also visible in the foreground. The mount has dramatic large-type shaded print advertising the hotel. <br> <br> W.B. Sink moved to Rome New York in 1865 and bought the Stanwix Hall Hotel and the adjacent Mansion House Hotel. He also opened the "Sink Opera House." This poster advertising the Stanwix was likely taken shortly after Sink bought the hotel serving as a compelling advertisement for one of Rome's grandest buildings. An evocative promotional piece offering much information about American economics architecture and culture at the close of the Civil War. Dopp & Nolan unknown books

A very scarce directory that probably began in the early 1820s. It continued to be published through 1829 but in 1830 it seems to have become The Brooklyn Directory although Spooner was still the publisher in that year. The first 48 pages appear to provide the "names and residence of all the Householders." The occupations of the people that are named are also provided. Additional information ranging from village by-laws to important members of the fire department is included. Spooner also provides a list of churches in Brooklyn and the results of the 1820 census for Kings County. The total population of Brooklyn in 1820 was 11183. This is a fairly rare title which offers a vivid picture about what Brooklyn looked like almost 200 years ago.</p> Alden Spooner, books

18491533Washington DC: J. & G.S. Gideon 1849. First Edition. Softcover. Very Good. 16 pp in original self-wrappers. Some handling wear light foxing. Preston proposed the creation of a single new state from all of the former Mexican territory. It was generally assumed that this would not be a slave state the land not being conducive to plantation farming but Preston took no explicit stand on the slavery issue in his bill. Instead he argued that Congress should not make "such rules and regulations as are necessary for the government of the territories" for this would be like "a foreign government" such as the British making a critical decision for "a people abroad" such at the American colonies. "Territorial dominion was given to us" he argues "not that we might place slavery there or freedom there--not that we might go into municipal legislation in detail for these provinces--but it was that we should rear up there sovereign and independent States." When a stipulation forbidding slavery was added to the bill later in the month it was defeated after an all-night session of name-calling and fistfights. Sabin 65385. J. & G.S. Gideon paperback books
