184821002H A Tenney - Madison 1848. Softcover. Good/No Dust Jacket. This is an original book from 1848 complete with 349 pages. Laws of Wisconsin Territory passed by the Legislative Assembly at the Session in February A.D. 1848 - published by Authority. This is a softcover book in used condition. All of the pages are there and firmly attached to the spine - the paper is strong but the front cover is chipped at the corners and the back cover has a large chip about half the page. The paper that used to cover the spine is gone. The pages show some dog eared corners and general use but overall this book is still complete and very useful and readable. This is a great copy for research and information but would not be considered a collector copy. We always ship in a sturdy box. H A Tenney - Madison paperback

180573531805. Original Wrappers. Very Good binding. 12mo. 19 1 blank pp. First edition. As issued stitched in plain wrapper; a few leaves unopened. Light wear to the covers including some silverfishing to the top inner margin of the rear wrapper and diminishing through the next several leaves; light soiling but largely a remarkably copy. Deaccessioned as a library duplicate the only indication being a mid-20th century gift stamp deep in the inner margin of p. 3; contents clean. <br /> <br /> An address criticizing incumbent Pennsylvania governor Thomas McKean and recommending Simon Snyder as governor in the 1805 election. While Snyder lost to McKean in a contentious 1805 contest he would ultimately win in 1808 and serve three terms. The language early in the address is salient: "Principles and not men were the foundations on which American independence was established . Principles and not men have been the objects of contest ever since between the several parties which have arisen under our government; but we are now brought to a point when it is to be determined by the public suffrage whether men setting at defiance the wishes of the people and the principles of representative government shall govern Pennsylvania" p. 3. It is perhaps comforting to realize that some things never change including campaign rhetoric. Shaw & Shoemaker 9119; Sabin 59839. unknown
