Title page torn without loss foxing. First edition. 28 xix 280 118pp. Folding tables. Uncut. 8vo. The establishment of the Second Bank of the United States in 1816 prompted immediate distrust of the institution with opponents charging it as constitutionally illegitimate and a direct threat to Jeffersonian agrarianism. With more local banks than any other state Maryland faced an unprecedented demand on specie from out-of-state banks and thus passed a bill calling for a tax on bank notes not issued by banks chartered within the state. The only such bank was the Baltimore branch of the Bank of the U.S. The cashier of the Baltimore Bank of the U.S. refused to pay the tax and the ensuing lawsuit would eventually make its way to the Supreme Court leading to the monumental decision in McCulloh v Maryland which held that the State could not tax a branch of the United States Bank and affirmed federal powers not delineated within the Constitution.<br/><br/>Anti-banking prosecutors in Maryland however did not take the defeat in the Supreme Court lightly. Instead they indicted McCulloh and the President of the Baltimore bank of the U.S. James A. Buchanan 1768-1840; not to be confused with the U.S. President on conspiracy charges relating to 3 million dollars in loans that Buchanan and McColloh had extended to themselves and friends without proper collateral and without informing the directors of the parent Bank of the U.S.<br/><br/>This scarce work comprises the reports indictments and evidence presented on the banking conspiracy cases brought against Buchanan and McCulloh published by the Directors of the Bank of the U.S. as part of their attempt to recuperate losses and address public .<br/><br/>Scarce with only a single example in the auction records in the last quarter century.

19259533Great Falls Montana: R.J. Lemert; unknown publisher 1925-1935. Unique. Hardcover. Very Good. Tight bright and unmarred. Light rubbing to cloth boards otherwise in very good condition. Bound in dark blue pebbled cloth with gilt titling to front board dark brown end papers. Bound typescript appears to be a top copy carbon or mimeograph with the text on the rectos of the pages only. Annotated with corrections. Octavo. 242 unnumbered leaves. <br/><br/>Rare bound typescript manuscript of French occultist and author Eliphas Levi 1810-1875 of "The Great Secret or Occultism Unveiled." A note bound in at the front indicates that the typescript was copied from the text as published in the journal "The Montana Mason" a Masonic journal that was published in Great Falls Montana in the 1920s. The introduction describes the book as "one of the most interesting and deeply philosophical" of Levi's works. The work remained unpublished in manuscript for nearly a quarter of a century after Levi's death until a French edition with the title "Le Grand arcane ou l'Occultisme devoile" finally appeared in 1898. It remained unpublished in English until R. J. Lemert editor of "The Montana Mason" prepared a translation "for the instruction of a few friends and the latter regarding it as highly valuable to the student insisted on its publication" in the journal and it was then published in parts in the February 1925 and subsequent issues. Curiously no other publication of the work was then undertaken until the Thorsons / Samuel Weiser edition appeared some 50 years later 1975. Unfortunately it is not known who made this typescript but it was presumably someone who thought the text significant enough that they wanted it in a durable form and perhaps only had access to borrowed copies of "The Montana Mason" which was scarcely a widely distributed journal. It is similarly without date but appears to be from the 1930s. The text itself is described in a more recent edition as "Eliphas Levi's final and most important treatise on the occult sciences in which he examines magnetism evil astral emanations divination and creative omnipotence. This bound typescript is obviously unique and significantly predates the first English language publication of the work in book form." Could possibly be another typescript annotated for publication yet was never seen. Scarce. [R.J. Lemert; unknown publisher] hardcover books

190942908Albany NY: State of New York 1909. First edition. Very good clean copy with long tear repaired on th verso and tiny chips at one fold on map inch tear to fore edge of certificate and along bottom margin. Ink on drafting vellum with colored outlines. 15 x 24 inches. Docket sheet mounted to verso. In 1874 the Hudson Tunnel Railroad Company soon named the Hudson River Railway Company was formed to construct tunnels between Jersey City and Greenwich Village the route originally to be about two miles commencing at a point under the Hudson River in the westerly boundaryline of the state of New York opposite the foot of Clarkson street at the termination of the Hudson Tunnel Railroad Company of New Jersey and thence running by a feasible route under the bed of the river and beneath the surface of the city of New York to a point at or near the westerly side of Broadway between Prince and Eighth streets; from whence the line proceeds via Sixth avenue to Thirty-third street New York but stopped construction well before completion. The assets land partially-constructed tunnels trackage etc. were eventually sold to the newly-organized New York & Jersey Railroad incorporated on February 12 1902 under the leadership of William G. McAdoo who was later U.S. Treasury Secretary and which then became the Hudson and Manhattan Railroad 1906. The original of this profile was drafted in 1891 before the railroad collapsed and the present certified copy was prepared by the Secretary of State's office on February 25 1909 almost exactly one year after the official opening of the tunnel the Pennsylvania Railroad's North River Tunnels the second to burrow under the Hudson did not open until late 1910. The reason that a copy of the map was requested is not known but what is known is that the railroad was seeking to extend the Sixth Avenue line later as well as other related projects. Perhaps the map was needed to settle some land issue or in some legal negotiations as the pencilled word "referee" appears after two sets of initials. The tunnels still carry a heavy load of PATH train commuters between Jersey City and Manhattan. Similar maps are difficult to locate. The closest a printed "Map of Hudson & Manhattan Railroad Hudson tunnel system January 1908" is located at the University of Chicago and the Jersey City Historical Society.

193323249Doniphan Mo 1933. 16mo. Flexible green gilt-stamped boards. Moderate edgewear; corners bumped and scuffed. Mild rubbing to edges. Rear board /creasedcracked but intact and holding. Else clean and sound. Very good overall. Some 350pp. 15000 words in total approx. <br/><br/>Diary written by one Lois B. Whitwell in the 'voice' of of her daughter Maxine Alice Whitwell then three years old updated near-daily through the year 1933. Without breaking character the writer carefully records all things seen done and spoken by her daughter to mildly unnerving effect. "It is another cold day. Mother was sick in bed all forenoon and she thot I nearly worried her to death." And: "I decided that when I get big and Mother gets little she will be my little baby and I'll be her mother.I played that things were about to get me tonight to get Mother to fight them off.I wanted badly to play in the fire but they wouldn't allow it." Small glimpses of the family's working life appear throughout: sowing oats and planting cabbages; buying calves; making and mending clothes; driving trucks and tractors. "Daddy went to town today and Mother had to tend the store.Mother meant to kill a chicken for breakfast in the morning but Daddy had been hunting and came back with two squirrels." While her parents work the toddler diarist preoccupies herself with pet hens rabbits imaginary foxes Sunday school hair curlers and troublemaking. Census records show the family living in the Ozarks in the town of Kelly and the diary a promotion for an insurance company in nearby Doniphan further supports. Again according to census records they did in fact own a store though by 1940 her father lists his occupation solely as "farmer." A child's-eye view of rural Depression era domestic and family life observed and impersonated at close range. hardcover books

1715WRCAM39783London 1715. Small folio broadsheet. 1p. plus printed docket title on verso. Ornamental initial. Dbd. Early folds and early stab holes in left margin. Some foxing. Very good. A rare political leaflet petitioning Parliament for relief of warrant officers who had fought in the recent War of the Spanish Succession. In March 1715 the House of Commons ordered that a list of all the regimental and warrant officers be drawn up but by the time this document was printed numerous warrant officers had not been entered into the list and rumors had begun to circulate that they would therefore not be receiving expected compensation for their service. "Besides the Nature of several of the Warrant Officers Posts was such as they could not be put on a Regimental List viz. Directors of Hospitals Commissaries Officers who have lost their Limbs and many other Officers whose particular Hardships Pretensions and Disappointments are more at large set forth and specify'd in their several Warrants. So that their Condition is very deplorable." This is among the earliest examples of lobbying literature which first began proliferating in the lobby of the House of Commons at the time of the accession of King George I and the British general election of 1715.

19114926Stockholm: Nordiska Bokförlaget 1911. Octavo 36 fascicles in 19 three pagination sequences. Lacking one signature page 51-62 in Häft. 3-4. Complex pagination throughout. Eleven leaves with color illustrations. With advertisements on the covers. Serial publication boasting The Best of Everything: Library for Swedish Women; accretions gathered under three headings: I. Fråga mig! Handbok för hemmet; II. Praktisk kokbok för hemmet; III. Handbok i varukännedom. Signatures apparently intended for later separation and sequencing in order to produce three volumes as indicated by the headings Ask me! Handbook for home; Practical cookbook for home; Handbook of trade knowledge. A considerable amount of culinary and food production information is distributed primarily throughout sections two and three. While including diet recommendations issues under the first heading lean heavily towards the care of children in the broadest sense. The third heading however includes much of relevance to the kitchen for instance guides to cuts of meat as well as recipes and equipment for the production of medicaments. The second heading - the cookbook section - contains not only recipes suitable for the Swedish home methods for preserving foods and alcohol tables for spirits but also instructions for distinguishing between leafy plants in the vegetable garden and fruits from the orchard for instance more than forty varieties of pear. Incomplete as noted above but still substantially present. Issues in original wrappers with some edgewear and light soiling throughout. The first two of the volume binders chemises really also present red with gold lettering and black line drawings and borders.
