456p. + Portrait Frontis and original full page photographs. Top edge gold. Very XLib. [Ownerships obscured by black magic marker]. 12mo. Quarter red leather over marbled boards. Gilt lettered spine. Raised bands. Spine slightly marred. Hardbound. William 'Just Plain Bill' Sulzer (1863-1941) was a U.S. Congressional Representative from New York between 1895 and 1912. With the backing of Tammany Hall, he became the Governor of New York on January 1, 1913. He soon annoyed Tammany's leader 'Boss' Charles F. Murphy by refusing to accept his guidance on appointments and nominations, ordering investigations of corruption in state agencies, and other similar actions. Tammany politicians brought false charges against him for diverting some campaign contributions to his own use and, with a legislative majority, they made the charges stick. He was impeached and removed from office on October 13, 1913. With Reformers like Thomas leading the fight, he was essentially vindicated, being elected to the New York State Assembly less than a month later. Thomas was deeply involved in Reform Politics, and was the Commonwealth Land candidate for Justice of New York Supreme Court 1st District in 1924. AMERICANA BOX 11

100p. + Facsimiles. Original full paper covered boards binding. Slipcase. Soiled. First edition. One of only 100 copies, without the Bibliophile insignias, privately printed for Charles E. Goodspeed, as a part of the purchase price of the manuscript material contained in the book. In 1847 Charles Dickens published a pamphlet calling on ''fallen women'' to enter a Home established by his friend Bar oness Burdett-Coutts. For many years this pamphlet was unseen by Dickens collectors and some doubt was expressed as to its very existence. Then, in 1928, Charles E. Goodspeed purchased from the last secretary of the Baroness a copy of the pamphlet together with several letters from a correspondence relating to the home and, in particular, to the efforts of Charles Dickens on behalf of a Miss Caroline Maynard Thompson. These items were purchased from Mr. Goodspeed by the Bibliophile Society. The text of the pamphlet is reprinted here, along with that of the letters. VERY SCARCE **PRICE JUST REDUCED! JUN 1 W34

The "Political and Geographical account…" has special title page and separate paging. "In 1729, French Protestant minister André Le Mercier worked, along with 13 other ministers, to create the Presbytery of Londonderry in New England. This was the first presbytery in New England and the only colonial presbytery that ever attracted a Huguenot minister (...). For some ministers Le Mercier offered an important bridge between Old and New World religious traditions. In 1732 le Mercier published [this] two-volume work (…). He was the only minister in all of New England with any direct knowledge of ecclesiastical and church practice in Calvin's home city, and he took special care to explain Geneva's parish system to his New England colleagues for whom formal parishes were becoming increasingly important in the eighteenth century" (Jon Butler, 'The Huguenots in America: A Refugee People in New World Society', Cambridge, Mass.: Harvard University Press, 1983, 88).
