3029Yankee Stadium Bronx New York: np. first edition. card wrappers. SIGNED BY BABE RUTH LOU GEHRIG CHARLIE GEHRINGER EARLE COMBS TONY LAZZERI JOE MCCARTHY LEFTY GOMEZ ET AL.<br /> <br /> Autograph book lovingly assembled by a young baseball fan in 1931 at Yankee Stadium with over 40 autographs of players including Ruth and Gehrig and eight other members of the Baseball Hall of Fame. ––––––––––<br /> <br /> Imagine being a kid in 1931 and you’re a baseball fan. This was during the glory days of baseball when players were national heroes and big games were national news. You also happen to live in New York the center of the baseball universe with a heated rivalry between three local teams every year. If you were lucky enough to go to a few games perhaps you could get close to one of your heroes maybe even get an autograph.<br /> <br /> Young Seymour Kessler did much better than “get an autograph†– he carried a little booklet with him to games at Yankee Stadium in 1931 and collected over forty autographs of players including the biggest stars of the day – Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig – along with eight other Hall-of-Famers including Charlie Gehringer Lefty Gomez Earle Combs Tony Lazzeri and others. He carefully and lovingly curated his autograph collection pasting pictures from newspapers beneath the signatures whenever he could find them and writing in clean block letters the position and team of the player.<br /> <br /> He titled his booklet on the cover “Autographs of Baseball Players / Yankee Stadium / 1931 / Property of Seymour Kessler†and on the first page added with great care to make the writing neat:<br /> <br /> “An autograph collection of American League Baseball Players. The autographs were obtained during the 1931 season at the Yankee Stadium The Bronx New York. Property of Seymour Kessler. 1858 West 5th Street Brooklyn New York.â€<br /> <br /> It’s a remarkable collection of names and autographs – a snapshot of many of the stars of the American League – and so lovingly curated by Kessler. He brings us right back to being a kid and a baseball fan sharing the magic of meeting your heroes.<br /> <br /> 1931 by the way wasn’t all wonderful for young Seymour. The Yankees only finished in second place and it must have been challenging for him living in Brooklyn and being a Yankees fan although in 1931 the Brooklyn team was called “The Robins†only becoming the Dodgers in 1932.<br /> <br /> Kessler was able to find newspaper pictures of many of the players but not all of them. Generally if they were minor players or out-of-town players he had difficulty finding pictures.<br /> <br /> The booklet contains the autographs of:<br /> <br /> The Baseball Hall-of-Famers:<br /> <br /> –Babe Ruth

Association copy inscribed by the author on the half-title page in the year of publication "To my good friend and Pal Dr. Richard Lewisohn From Babe Ruth 1948." Dr. Lewisohn was a surgeon who experimented with an anti-cancer drug teropterin pteroltriglutamic acid. In 1947 Dr. Lewisohn offered Ruth who had been diagnosed with throat cancer in 1946 to receive this experimental therapy. Dr. Lewisohn was very honest with Ruth about his small chances for a recovery although no formal informed consent was signed. Ruth responded bravely that he would still like to go through with the experimental treatment in order to provide the medical community with information that might help individuals in the future with the same ailment. Thus Ruth became a subject in one of the first clinical trials of an anti-cancer drug. Dr. Lewison's experimental course of teropterin injections led to a dramatic albeit short-lived improvement in Ruth. The improvement in Ruth's condition was featured in the lead story of September 11 1947 in the Wall Street Journal which reported on Dr. Lewisohn's report of the case at a medical conference. The Wall Street Journal stated that researchers might be on the verge of a cure for cancer. As a direct result of Dr. Lewisohn's treatment Ruth was able to say farewell to his fans at Yankee Stadium and attend other public functions as well do the interviews for and see the publication of this book in May of 1948. He was also attend the premiere of the film based on upon this book. Ruth passed away just a short time later on August 16 1948 before the film's public release.

148412Indiana University School of Law/Bloomington: Indiana Law Journal 1993. Original Spring 1993 issue of the Indiana Law Journal containing Margaret G. Farrell's Revisiting Roe v. Wade. Octavo original wrappers Indiana Law Journal Volume 68 Number 2 Spring 1993. Inscribed by the author on the front wrapper "With good wishes great respect and admiration Margaret Farrell." The recipient Ruth Bader Ginsburg American lawyer and jurist served as an associate justice of the Supreme Court of the United States from 1993 until her death in 2020 and was responsible for some of the most eventful legal decisions of the past half-century. Nominated by President Bill Clinton in 1993 to replace retiring justice Byron White Ginsburg became the first Jewish woman and the second woman to serve on the Court after Sandra Day O’Connor. Ginsburg spent much of her legal career as an advocate for gender equality and women’s rights winning many arguments before the Supreme Court. During her tenure as associate justice of the Supreme Court Ginsburg received attention for her fiery and passionate dissents that reflected liberal views of the law. She was popularly dubbed “the Notorious R.B.G.†a moniker she later embraced. She authored several important majority opinions related to gender discrimination voting rights and affirmative action in cases such as United States v. Virginia 1996 which struck down the Virginia Military Institute’s male-only admissions policy as violating the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment Olmstead v. L.C. 1999 in which the Court ruled that mental illness is a form of disability covered under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and Friends of the Earth Inc. v. Laidlaw Environmental Services Inc. 2000 in which the Court held that residents have standing to seek fines for an industrial polluter that affected their interests and that is able to continue doing so. In fine condition. Housed in a custom half morocco clamshell box from the Harcourt Bindery. A unique piece of history. In her 1993 article Revisiting Roe v. Wade: Substance and Process in the Abortion Debate Margaret G. Farrell critically examines the Supreme Court’s reasoning in Roe v. Wade arguing that the decision's focus on substantive rights overshadowed essential procedural considerations. Farrell contends that by emphasizing a constitutional right to privacy the Court neglected the importance of democratic deliberation and the role of legislative processes in shaping abortion policy. She advocates for a jurisprudential approach that balances individual rights with procedural legitimacy suggesting that such a framework would better accommodate the complex ethical and social dimensions of the abortion debate.

Shapiro 1932–2023 was a distinguished Harvard Law School professor and a leading authority on federal courts and civil procedure widely regarded as an influential figure in modern federal courts jurisprudence. Over a career spanning several decades at Harvard Shapiro shaped scholarly and judicial understanding of jurisdiction judicial review and the institutional role of federal courts within the constitutional system. Ruth Bader Ginsburg remembered him in his Harvard Law Review In Memoriam issue "Among members of the legal academy David L. Shapiro impressed me as the very best the most devoted to his teaching and writing the least self-regarding. He was ever mindful of the importance of facts and of the law's impact on the people law exists or should exist to serve. And I will miss our correspondence about the Court's jurisprudence his applause for some of our decisions his worries about others. But I count it my good fortune to have known David L. Shapiro a man as kind and caring as he was brilliant." Indiana Law Journal unknown

1871140939518Hartford CT: Case Lockwood & Brainard Printers 1871. First Edition. Fine. 4 pp. Self-wrappers. First edition. Fine. An announcement by famous feminist Susan B. Anthony and five other suffragettes of the formation of a National Woman Suffrage and Educational Committee and their intent to pursue recognition of voting rights for women under the 14th and 15th amendments. These were recent amendments around three and one years old respectively but this salvo relies on them heavily as well as on a taxation-without-representation argument harking back to the origins of the republic. In 1875 the Supreme Court would close the door on this line of thinking and suffragettes would have to change strategies but this leaflet proceeds all that; it's still heady with fresh ideas and a brand new organization appealing for funds and women's names for a pledge book compiled by the NWSEC Secretary. A rare document of a brief glimmer of optimism in what would be a long hard slog-- the struggle for equal rights-- in excellent condition. Case, Lockwood & Brainard, Printers unknown books
