Shelved at Rockville Room A General Ephemera Part 2. These writs executed by clerks such as Fairlie & Bloodgood and Breese summon parties in a variety of civil cases most involving debt and judgment: 1. Montgomery Co. 1808 -Partially printed writ of summons with Arthur Breese named as clerk printed bearing the gilt seal of the New York Supreme Court. Summons Timothy Moors to answer in a case brought by John Haggerty and David Austin leading New York auctioneers who together operated the powerhouse firm Haggerty & Austin dominant in city auction circles in the early 19th century.

Francis Bloodgood 1775-1840: Clerk of the New York Supreme Court of Judicature at Albany 1797-1825 and later served twice as Mayor of Albany. A central figure in Albany's legal and civic world his career spanned both law and politics and he is remembered for helping administer the highest state court during a formative period.

Construction began in 1893 partly to try to boost a stagnant economy. Every effort was made to use local materials and resources - granite foundations from Nelson Island site facades from Haddington Island stone and local brick limestone and Douglas fir for the construction work. The total cost was not to exceed $600000. When the Buildings were completed four years later amid much controversy and argument the total cost came to $923882.30." leg dot bc dot ca. Blackie unknown

1849 Letter from the Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance Co. Concerning '49ers Augustus Elliot and John Webber Jr.

184974700Boston 1849. Original stampless ms. letter from agent E. P. Pratt to Company Secretary Guy. R. Phelps. The letter on typical blue paper is dated March 13 1849 and concerns policies on two very well known California '49ers; Augustus Elliott and John Webber Jr. Red circular date stamp on verso of March 14. Some age blurring but still extremely legible.Much of the letter concerns a plea for multiple copies of the company's Annual Report but at the top we read - Augustus Elliot ins'd by Policy No. 2660 goes to Calif in Barque Sangrange. At the end of the letter just prior to the salutations we read - John Webber Jr. ins'd by Pol. No. 1401 is going to California overland and wants a Permit; he is in a hurry for it as he starts shortly."A year after Elliott reached California he organized his Atlantic and Pacific Express Company to carry mail and packages between the east and west coasts of America personally accompanying each shipment by steamer across the Isthmus from San Francisco to New York and back again a â€œsuperior advantageâ€ especially for those who wished to send gold dust to eastern banks. Offering such illustrious references as the US Senators from Massachusetts and the first federal official in San Francisco he soon added the service of assisting emigrant families to make the trip â€œon most favorable termsâ€. This was more than a year before Henry Wells organized the Wells Fargo Company to extend his eastern Express service to California.Unlike Elliott who soon sailed for the Isthmus of Panama Captain John Webber Jr. a heroic veteran of the Mexican-American War was selected to lead the 50 men of the â€œCalifornia Mutual Protection Associationâ€ overland to the Gold Fields. Well-equipped with a dozen other military veterans in uniform four musicians â€œtwo black servants and six dogsâ€ they left Boston on March 19 a week after this letter was written their six month journey on the Oregon Trail recorded in a diary now held by the Bancroft Library. By the time Webber â€“ portrayed as a U.S.Grant-type soldier in the Discovery Channel dramatization â€œGold Feverâ€ â€“ reached Utah on July 31 only four of his group remained. They did not reach Sacramento until September"B. McMakin. unknown

Gray 1810-1889 who traveled to the Lapwai Mission in Lewiston ID in 1836 where he was the Nez Perce secular agent and she subsequently later married Jacob Kamm 1823-1912 pioneering Oregon industrialist and entrepreneur. First edition of this exceedingly scarce promotional offprint for the placer gold mining concentrator for â€œfloat or flour goldâ€ developed by A.D. Clarke in the early 1880â€™s at an Idaho gold mining operation. The invention required parallel bars of iron an 1/8th of an inch apart bolted in place allowing water to flow through a sluice from a hydraulic mining operation with good gentle water flow and then would be directed through a series of tanks fitted with sage brush to collect the particles of gold and then across a series of riffles to pick up still finer gold particles. There was a mini gold rush in Clatsop OR in late-1884-1885 after J.M. Weed filed a placer claim for his mine Gertrude on Rock Creek in May 1885 which claimed loose valuable material in gravel on Rock Creek followed by a plethora of gold miners staking claims in the area and by 1889 the Rock Creek Mining District was formed. Maggie Gray b. 1853 was the youngest daughter of William H. Gray and served as postmaster in Olney OR from about 1878-1884 according to government publications but sadly there are no production figures for any of the mines and no further census or government records for Maggie after 1884.

Not in Singerman though Robert Singerman himself suggested to us that the text "seems to be a match for the text in the first volume of the American Jewish Year Book 1899/1900 at pp.294-97. Our item does not include any pagination and we would consider it to be a first separate edition. The item not listed in any database we were able to consult. Advertising pamphlet listing imprints of the newly formed Jewish Publication Society including their first "Outlines of Jewish History" by Lady Magnus 1890 through Zangwillâ€™s Dreamers of the Ghetto 1898 which is indicated as â€œSold to Members onlyâ€ probably indicating that it had just come out or perhaps related to copyright issues with Zangwill. Notably absent is any mention of the American Jewish Yearbook which began publication in 1899. All items include a short positive review from the American press. The Jewish Publication Society of America was founded for "â€™the publication and dissemination of literary scientific and religious works giving instruction in the principles of the Jewish religionâ€™; the third of its kind in the United States see Jew. Encyc. i. 519. Its headquarters are at Philadelphia. It was founded June 3 1888 at a convention held in Philadelphia. At the end of the first fiscal year the membership was 1071; by 1903 it had reached 4700. Every member of the society receives a copy of each publication; since the society has been in existence over two hundred thousand volumes have been distributed and sold. The society is supported by the income derived from a permanent fund and from membership dues. As a rule four sometimes five publications a year are issued; the first 'Outlines of Jewish History' by Lady Magnus appeared in 1890. The society issues two series a 'Special Series' seven numbers appearing occasionally and including short works of a miscellaneous character and 'The American Jewish Year Book' published since 1899-1900 5660.the society has brought outâ€¦translations from German French and Hebrew.
