18369235Annapolis MD: William M'Neir 1836. Wrappers. Very Good binding. Octavo. 77 3 pp. First edition. In contemporary plain wrappers. Wrappers are detached and chipped; contents are generally foxed; small and early institutional stamp in the bottom margin of one page deep in the pamphlet; minor crease throughout the pamphlet from a vertical fold; dog-eared pages. <br /> <br /> Quite a presentable copy of a scarce publication on the Baltimore Bank Riots of 1835 which grew out of the failure of the Bank of Maryland. There was a belief that its impending bankruptcy was anticipated by its officers leading to civil unrest. The issues at trial were whether Baltimore officials had reacted appropriately and adequately when unrest began and rioting actually broke out. This pamphlet gives numerous depositions as to events in the city during this extended period of civil violence. American Imprints identifies another issue of this with slight differences to the title page that was issued the same year. Despite there being two issues it remains remarkably rare in commerce. Henkels offered it in 1915; beyond this there are no other auctions or offerings noted by the usual sources. OCLC locates barely a dozen copies of both issues together. American Imprints 38812.

19477621Winnipeg Manitoba: Gauvin Gentzel Studio 1947. First Edition. Original Photograph on Mount. Original silver gelatin photograph panoramic format measuring 13" x 7.25" mounted on its original heavy card mat to an overall size of 14" x 17". Bears the imprint of the prominent Winnipeg firm "Gauvin Gentzel Studio" to the upper left. A printed caption below the image identifies the "Manitoba Legislative Assembly 1947" and lists all members by row along with the Speaker and legislative staff. <br /> <br />A crisp and detailed panoramic photograph capturing the 22nd Manitoba Legislature in session. The image provides a rare wide-angle view of the historic chamber with all members present at their desks. This 1947 assembly is a fascinating snapshot of Manitoba's unique "Coalition" era. The government led by Premier Stuart S. Garson K.C. pictured in the 3rd row was a fusion of Liberal-Progressives and Progressive Conservatives a "non-partisan" administration that had its origins in the war years. <br /> <br />The photograph is a roster of Manitoba's post-war political establishment. In addition to Premier Garson who would leave in 1948 to join the federal cabinet the roster includes his successor Hon. Douglas L. Campbell 3rd Row who would go on to be Premier for a decade. Also present are numerous other cabinet ministers and future luminaries including: Hon. J. S. McDiarmid 3rd Row who would be appointed Lieutenant-Governor of Manitoba in 1953; Lt.-Col. Gordon Churchill 1st Row a future federal MP and prominent cabinet minister in the Diefenbaker government; Gunnar S. Thorvaldson K.C. 2nd Row a future Senator. <br /> <br />Most remarkably this image captures the legislature's sole dissenter and one of its most notable figures: William "Bill" A. Kardash 2nd Row. As the only member of the Labor-Progressive Party Communist in the assembly Kardash was a conspicuous and often isolated voice in the coalition-dominated house. His presence seated amongst the very establishment he ideologically opposed is a powerful visual representation of the era's complex political landscape at the dawn of the Cold War. <br /> <br />The photograph itself is a fine example of the large-format group portraiture perfected by the Gauvin Gentzel Studio one of Winnipeg's leading photographic firms for decades known for their clarity and high-quality compositions. The silver gelatin print retains excellent clarity sharp detail and strong contrast. The mat is clean and bright with only very light toning to the edges and minor bumping to the corners. A near-fine example. <br/><br/> Gauvin Gentzel Studio unknown

Original publishers boards, 12mo, 132 pages. Singerman 1440. DE RENNE II, p.579. Milberg nr. 58. Uncommon work by this Jewish author who would go on to become a Confederate Officer during the Civil War. Levy (1827 - 1888) . Was also editor in chief of the Savannah Daily Advertiser, and in April 1868 Levy criticized in print the political views of a certain Dr. James Waring. Waring, apparently thin-skinned, demanded a duel. Levy obliged, but luckily friends were able to defuse the situation (Encyclopedia of Southern Jewish Communities, 2013) . Logan was a popular actress of the mid-19th Century, daughter to Cornelius Logan, a comic actor & playwriter who served as her manager until his death in 1853. While Logan was born in Philadelphia, she made her name in the antebellum South, with many lucrative engagements in cities such as Savannah, where she, no doubt, inspired Mr. Levy to write this work in her honor. Very Good Condition. (amr-45-23B) xx

1852194391852. The 1852 Acts of the General Assembly of Virginia document the legislative priorities of a slaveholding state at mid-century capturing the intersection of racial control economic expansion and governance in the decades preceding the Civil War. Among the statutes is a revealing law titled "An Act to suppress Gambling by Negroes and white persons together" which legislates interracial interaction itself as a site of state concern demonstrating how Virginia authorities sought to regulate not only labor and movement but also informal social contact between Black and white populations. Such measures reflect the broader legal architecture of slavery-era society where anxieties over racial hierarchy and social boundaries were codified into everyday law. Alongside this the volume contains extensive acts related to taxation and fiscal policy as well as numerous charters and provisions for navigation companies steamship enterprises and other internal improvements-evidence of Virginia's participation in the wider market expansion and infrastructural development characteristic of the antebellum United States. The juxtaposition of economic modernization with increasingly codified racial restriction underscores the dual priorities of growth and control that defined Southern governance in this period.<br /> <br /> Richmond: William F. Ritchie Public Printer 1852. First Edition. 8vo. Half legal calf over marbled boards with spine label; 3 4-403 pages including index. The volume compiles the full legislative output of the Virginia General Assembly for the year with sections devoted to taxation corporate charters transportation infrastructure and social regulation. The presence of laws governing interracial conduct situates the work within the legal history of race relations in the United States while the extensive material on navigation and steamship companies reflects the Commonwealth's investment in regional and national economic integration during a period of rapid territorial and commercial expansion. Binding shows a crack at the front board gutter but remains holding; moderate wear to leather and boards consistent with age and use. Interior generally clean with expected toning. Overall condition is very good. unknown
