186322907New York: Hall Clayton & Medole Printers 1863. 20pp disbound with a bit of loosening. Foxed hole in lower blank forecorner of title page. Good to Good. <br/><br/> Blair rejects the 'State Suicide' notion-- advocated by the Rebels as well as Radical Republicans-- that the seceded States have lost their character as such; and though opposed to slavery he supports the removal of Negroes from the United States. "To free the slaves of the South without removing them would result in the massacre of them." As a military necessity Blair supports the Emancipation Proclamation and lauds Lincoln's "patriotism and comprehensive wisdom." <br/>Bartlett 476. Sabin 5749.

1863229091863. n.p. 1863. 20pp disbound without wrappers light margin foxing. Very Good. <br/><br/> Blair warns of "ultra-Abolitionists" who "seek to make a caste of another color by amalgamating the black element with the free white labor of our land and so to expand far beyond the present confines of slavery the evil which makes it obnoxious to republican statesmen." Their policies would create "a hybrid race" an "unnatural combination" if ever there was one. He also attacks the abolitionists' 'State Suicide' theory which held that the rebel States were "annihilated by the rebellion" and thus subject to the "absolute authority" of Congress. In rebuttal Blair cites 'The Federalist' for his argument that the States are an essential and indestructible part of the Union. <br/>LCP 1262. Monaghan 173. unknown books

18147383Norristown Penn. 1814. Single sheet 20.75 x 11.5 cm. but irregular printed recto only; typographical border. Manuscript annotations. ~ A very early Pennsylvania bill of fare for the Norristown Hotel with a list of items on offer including Breakfast Dinner Supper Lodging Wine Brandy Gin Spirits Punch Porter Beer Cider Segars Hay and Oats. Manuscript annotations indicate "Gentleman's Bill May 16th 1814" with handwritten prices added for dinner brandy porter hay and oats a man on the move!. The final lines indicate payment of $4.25 and the elaborate signature of hotel owner Morris Jones. "Morris Jones gives notice in July 1813 that he kept the "Norristown Hotel corner of Egypt or Main and De Kalb Streets" and that "a constant supply of newspapers will be kept for the use of the house." This is interesting for giving an early mention of "hotel" which it would appear was now about being introduced as more pretentious than inn or tavern. It was a two-story stone house forty by thirty-seven feet with an adjoining kitchen. The stable was also of stone fifty by twenty-seven feet with sheds and outbuildings. This property was built by General Isaiah Wells about 1800 and kept by him until his election as sheriff when he moved to the jail. It was long known as the most noted stage-house in Norristown. In 1834 the Norristown Hotel was then kept by Levi Roberts and was offered at public sale by the assignees of Isaiah Wells."
