Housed in original box. <br/><br/> Nearly seventy years after they were executed for espionage even after the opening of the USSR's secret Venona files the guilt or innocence of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg remains a subject of controversy. A National Committee to Reopen the Rosenberg Case the successor to the National Committee to Secure Justice to the Rosenbergs is active to this day. The trial like that of their contemporary Alger Hiss was enveloped by the early years of the Cold War. Added to the mix was the fact that the Rosenbergs were Jewish as were their prosecutors Irving Saypol and Roy Cohn and the trial judge Irving Kaufman. There is little doubt that significant prejudicial conduct occurred at trial including ex parte meetings with the trial judge and the introduction of inflammatory evidence which had little probative value. <br/> The National Committee published this Record "confident that the dispassionate reader will perceive the gross miscarriage of justice that cries out for redress." The Committee claims that David and Ruth Greenglass the government's "main witnesses" were themselves spies whose testimony was tainted by their desire to avoid the death penalty. There was no documentary evidence of the Rosenbergs' guilt. Indeed the prosecution whipped the jury into an anti-Communist frenzy; and the sentence of death was "barbaric.

He was an Associate Justice of the Ohio Supreme Court and was appointed to the United States Supreme Court by President Jackson in 1829 until his death. He was one of the two Justices to vote against the Dred Scott decision. McLean was frequently mentioned as a Presidential candidate. AMS. 2pg. 7 ½†x 12 ½â€. December 18 1846. Washington D.C. An autograph manuscript signed “Cornelia J. Orme†and a letter signed “Maria W.D. Ormeâ€. It is addressed to Supreme Court Justice John McLean. The first page is an acrostic written by the young poet Cornelia. The first letters spell out the words “HONJOHNMCLEANOFOHIO†and reads “How shall my simple muse aspire Of him to sing whose graced sublime strain Noblest of Men for subject for the Lyre. Justly my Harp her humble strings refrain - Oh would some favored votary of the Nine Her Poets power awhile bestow No minstrelsy should vie with mine - My verse thy greatness then would show - Could I but half thy goodness tell Long would its cheerful chords vibrate E’en with soft music would its strings aye swell - And gladly thy great worth relate. Now when each place with honour you have filled Of which unsought your virtues have obtained. For thee their Head our own blest Nation’s willed Our interests to serve and have our righteous Laws sustained High in the hearts of all from proud to lowly train In all beloved while grateful men remain - Oh never will they cease to bless the Noble good and true McLean.†The interior page contains a letter signed “Maria W.D. Orme†and the letter’s body is in the handwriting of Cornelia. Orme wrote to McLean: “I am still spared ‘till the period of your return to Washington but have no other means of manifesting my pleasure for your health and arrival than by a few lines on paper. None more sincerely can do so than myself or will be more truly glad to see you when you have leisure to call at the same resident corner of 12 St and Maryland Avenue. Allow me to accompany this ‘expression’ of an Acrostic written by my little daughter with whom the Muses have been tampering and whose impression of you she has thus poetically attempted to portray – and like all other embryo poetry’s wishes it to be presented – which I permit her to do not for the need of praise but as a simple fireside offering – which I am sure you will not reject…Maria W.D. Ormeâ€. Cornelia Orme wrote the popular book of children’s poems Forget-Me-Nots from Dew Drop Dale under the name Ruth Rustic. Maria Orme and her husband Rezin were involved in an infamous slavery event. In the 1830s Rezin sold a slave named Dorcas and her four children to a slave trader in Alexandria Virginia for $700. Dorcas had been promised her freedom by an earlier deceased owner and Rezin inherited Dorcas and her family through marriage and death. Dorcas killed her two younger children and was prevented from killing the other two because of the screams of her dying children. She was tried and found not guilty by reason of insanity. The abolitionist John Quincy Adams noted the incident in his 1830s diary. The verso of the integral leaf is addressed by Cornelia to “Hon. John McLean / Supreme Court U.S. / Washington D.C.†There is a small portion missing at blank right margin and a hole at blank fold. unknown books

003458Near Fine. N.d. circa 1900. The pen and ink ink drawing is 20 by 11.5 cm. Depicted is Philip James Bailey who is carrying under his arms his 1839 magnum opus the very long poem "Festus" admired by Tennyson and other leading poets of the day and supposedly an influence on James Joyce. The work was Bailey's only success and he continued to add to it during his long life following its initial appearance. It is this pattern of accretions which Ford would appear to be lampooning in this caricature. Ford is best remembered today for illustrating the dozen Andrew Lang colored fairy book series and next for illustrating works by Scott Kipling and many others. He also did free-standing painting and some of his work belongs now to museum collections. Matted. <br/><br/> unknown books

Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Original manuscript autograph document signed by Mehmed Said Pasha sent to Trabzon Vilayat, Ordu Kaza, Hasbamane Nahiya local manager, faziletlu 'Mehmed Ali Sevki Beyefendi'. 33,5x20 cm. Folded. 1 p. In Ottoman script. Mehmed Said Pasha was an Ottoman monarchist, senator, statesman and editor of the Turkish newspaper Jerid-i-Havadis. He supported the CUP, the political party which came to power after the Ottoman coup d'état of 1913. His origin comes from 'Sebazâde family' from Ankara. He became first secretary to Sultan Abdul Hamid II shortly after the Sultan's accession, and is said to have contributed to the realizations of his majesty's design of concentrating power in his own hands; later he became successively minister of the interior and then governor of Bursa, reaching the high post of grand vizier in 1879. He was grand vizier seven more times under Abdul Hamid II, and once under his successor, Mehmed V. He was known for his opposition to the extension of foreign influence in Turkey. n 1896, he took refuge at the British embassy in Constantinople, and, though then assured of his personal liberty and safety, remained practically a prisoner in his own house. He came into temporary prominence again during the revolution of 1908. On 22 July he succeeded Mehmed Ferid Pasha as grand vizier, but on the 6 August was replaced by the more liberal Kâmil Pasha, at the insistence of the Young Turks. Also during 1908, Mehmed Said Pasha bought the famed Istanbul arcade in the Beyoglu (Pera) district, today known as Çiçek Pasaji ("Flower Passage"). The modern name became common in the 1940s; during Mehmed Said Pasha's ownership in the 1900s and 1910s, the arcade was known as Sait Pasa Pasaji ("Said Pasha Passage"). During the Italian crisis in 1911-12, he was again called to the premiership. He was again removed from power by the Savior Officers (who backed the Freedom and Accord Party (Liberal Union) against the Committee of Union and Progress) and replaced by a new cabinet supported by the Officers and the Freedom and Accord Party. The CUP would return to power, however, the next year after the Ottoman coup d'état of 1913. (Source: Wikipedia). Seven lines on special paper with watermark 'Joynson Superfine'.
