Very Good. 8vo; 243 pages; Contents clean and complete in original green cloth binding with gilt lettering at spine cloth worn at spine ends pages toned rear fee endpaper crease and split. Quite a nice example of this very scarce work. In The Future: A Political Essay M. H. Throop discusses how the Civil War Amendments enacted between 1865 and 1870 placed new limits on the executive branch of government and lent new autonomy to the legislature protecting "the individual from arbitrary punishments or seizures". He questions the constitutionality of President Lincoln's actions during the Civil War and likewise questions the government's aims with Reconstruction. Significantly he dedicates this book to his uncle Enos Thompson Throop 1784-1874 who was the tenth Governor of New York from 1829 to 1832. Montgomery Hunt Throop 1827-1892 son of George Bliss Throop was an American jurist. He was admitted to the bar in 1848 and practiced in Utica in partnership with his maternal uncle Ward Hunt until 1856 at which time he became a partner of Roscoe Conkling until 1862. In 1864 Throop moved to New York City where he continued his legal practice. In 1870 Throop was made chairman of a commission to revise the New York statutes. This task occupied seven years culminating in the publication of The Code of Civil Procedure of the State of New York in 1877. The rest of Throop's life was devoted to legal authorship and the editorship of codes and compilations of statutes and decisions. . James G. Gregory hardcover

His Pike expedition mapped much of the southern portion of the Louisiana Purchase. Pike was born in Lamberton New Jersey now a part of Trenton. His father also named Zebulon Pike was an officer in the Continental Army under General George Washington and served in the United States Army after the end of the Revolutionary War.</p><p>The younger Pike grew to adulthood in a series of Midwestern outposts-the frontier of the United States at the time-in Ohio and Illinois. He joined his father's regiment as a cadet in 1794 earned a commission as ensign in 1799 and a first lieutenancy later that year. Pike married Clarissa Harlow Brown in 1801 and continued his military career in logistics and payroll at a series of frontier posts.</p><p>His career was taken up by General James Wilkinson who had been appointed Governor of the Upper Louisiana Territory. In 1805 Wilkinson ordered Zebulon Pike to find the source of the Mississippi River. Nearly immediately upon his return Pike was ordered out once again to lead an exploratory expedition to find the headwaters of the Arkansas River and Red River. Near St. Louis on July 15 1806 Pike led what is now known as "the Pike expedition" from Fort Bellefontaine to explore the southwest. Pike never successfully reached the summit of the famous peak that bears his name Pikes Peak. He attempted it in November 1806 made it as far as Mt. Rosa to the southeast of Pikes Peak and gave up the ascent in waist-deep snow after having gone almost two days without food. This journey for which he is most remembered ended with his capture on February 26 1807 by Spanish authorities in northern New Mexico now part of Colorado. Pike and his men were taken to Santa Fe then to Chihuahua where he appeared before the Commandant General Salcedo. Salcedo housed Pike with Juan Pedro Walker a cartographer who also acted as an interpreter and as a transcriber/translator for Pike's confiscated documents. It was while with Walker that Pike had access to various maps of the southwest and learned of Mexican discontent with Spanish rule. Pike and his men were released under protest to the United States at the Louisiana border on July 1 1807.</p><p><strong>Condition:</strong> Extremities rubbed title to volume one detached unread with the pages needing to be separated else very good.
