Scattered foxing light dampstain to one corner some pages offset last few leaves darkened still about very good. 72149 pp. 8vo. Political Anti-Masonry which first began in New York gained a strong foothold in Rhode Island beginning in 1829. By 1831 the Anti-Masons convinced the state legislature to investigate Freemasonry: "Whereas the crimes and enormities within a few years committed in a neighboring State by certain Freemasons avowedly in the cause of masonry have excited universal indignation and abhorrence and have awakened jealousies and suspicions very unfavorable to all masonic institutions. Therefore in the hope of allaying the great and increasing excitement thus occasioned and that the innocent may be distinguished from the guilty if in this state there are any who can justly be charged with advocating the criminal doctrines imputed to freemasonry. are hereby appointed a committee fully to investigate and inquire into its causes." This is the 72 page report of that committee with 149 pages of appendices. Sabin 70652. Amer. Imprints 14514. Cohen 9356. William Marshall, State Printer unknown books

1900List518Most Cuba or Jacksonville 1900. Silver gelatin or albumen photographs various sizes ranging from 3 x 3 to 6 x 8 most captioned to verso. With handwritten manuscript four leaves discussing various diseases. The Spanish-American War was the first war in which nurses formed their own dedicated units as well as the first war in which they were accepted within military hospitals. While no nurses died in battle 153 died during the war from disease. Nurses were responsible for both treating soldiers as well as maintaining sanitary conditions within the camps. Conditions were often poor leading some to work until they were too sick to continue. <br /><br /> The current collection of photographs documents the experiences of a Mrs. Waters who was originally from Groton Massachusetts. The collection begins with a couple early photographs including a portrait as a young woman and a cyanotype of one of Waters' leprosy patients at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore. The next section shows Waters' training in Jacksonville Florida with either the Fourth or Seventh Army Corps at what was called Camp Cuba Libre both Corps trained there in 1898. The photographs of Jacksonville show life around the military camp and environs with some notable photographs of African-American inhabitants of the region. Three photographs quite notably show the Congregation of American Sisters a small group of American Indian nuns led by Reverend Francis Craft. The photographs taken in Cuba are notable for their portrayal of local life. Several photographs of military installations are taken around the "trocha" or line established by General Valeriana Weyler from Mariel to Majana. Another notable photograph is a cabinet card of a large group of nurses taken by the Havana photographer R. Testar. <br /><br /> The group overall shows very early photographic records of military nurses in training as well as a scarce photographic record from a woman in a combat situation. The photographs are generally well preserved in very good to excellent condition with some light fading. Accompanying the photographs is a four page manuscript essay presumably by Waters discussing leprosy as well as the booklet Spanish Phrase Book for American Soldiers and Sailors published by the National Relief Commission of Philadelphia. <br /><br /> Offered in partnership with Daniel / Oliver Gallery. books

In a red half morocco and cloth clamshell case spine gilt. List of monies paid to twelve members of the House of Assistants of the Connecticut General Assembly signed by several of them including two future signers of the Declaration of Independence Roger Sherman and Oliver Wolcott. Sherman is notable as the only person to sign all four of the major foundational documents of United States: the Continental Association the Declaration of Independence the Articles of Confederation and the U.S. Constitution. He also served on the Committee of Five that drafted the Declaration of Independence and later drafted the Connecticut Compromise for the U.S. Constitution which proposed a bicameral representative government and guaranteed equal representation in the Senate for every state no matter its size. Wolcott signed not only the Declaration but also the Articles of Confederation and later served as Connecticut's fourth governor. <br> <br> This document was likely written in New Haven which served as the joint capital of Connecticut with Hartford until 1776 hosting the October legislative sessions. In addition to Sherman and Wolcott it is signed by representatives William Pitkin Robert Walker Abraham Davenport William Samuel Johnson and Joseph Spencer. The remaining members are noted as having been "paid by receipt." It is docketed on the verso and signed by Joseph Trumbull deputy to the Assembly.

1902291158Richmond Virginia: Clyde W. Saunders Printer 1902. Hard Cover. Good binding. An uncommon account of the impeachment trial against Clarence J. Campbell judge of the county court of Amherst in 1902 by the Virginia General Assembly. The story begins when Campbell dismissed the case of a druggist having sold twenty-five barrels of whiskey in a year despite local Temperance laws. A Richmond minister then wrote an article calling Judge Campbell practically corrupt and certainly pro-liqueur trafficking to which the Judge responded by bringing him to court. Despite failing to land a contempt of court charge The Honorable Clarence Campbell found his revenge by striking the minister with a riding crop multiple times after the court adjourned though circumstances leading to this altercation are inconclusive. A stacked court then acquitted Judge Campbell of felonious assault strangely enough with the defense that a Virginian had a right to beat any Yankee that insulted them. This resulted in mass rioting in the streets by pro- and anti-Campbell factions all while the judge and his circle hosted a raucous into-the-wee-hours party which of course respected the Temperance laws and presumably contained only prescribed whiskey. In this account Judge Campbell becomes one of the few circuit court judges to be successfully impeached after outrage and a petition calling for his dismissal. Cheers to that! Binding is fragile and somewhat shaken; front hinge cracked. Quarter black cloth over contemporary paper boards with a paper spine label. OCLC notes two institutional holdings. Good binding. Clyde W. Saunders, Printer unknown books
