The Code which was largely the work of Hays appears on pages 91-106 of the Proceedings.

Creased where folded right edge of sheet a little rough a few very short edge tears. Overall very good. Isaac Smith Kalloch 1831-87 was a flamboyant Baptist pastor of Boston and was tried but not convicted of adultery. He then moved to Kansas were he indulged in land speculation shady railroad ventures and political maneuvers before moving to San Francisco 1875 because "there are more wicked people of both sexes in that city and I feel called by God to convert them." Kallock became pastor of Metropolitan Temple the city's largest church and the candidate of the Workingmen's party for Mayor. His campaign attacked not only Chinese labor and the Big Four but also Charles de Young whose Chronicle opposed him. In cold blood de Young shot Kalloch at his church. Kalloch survived to become Mayor of San Francisco 1879-81. His son Isaac Milton Kalloch in turn shot and killed de Young 1880. The father weathered impeachment attempts and the son was acquitted of murder. Both father and son then moved to Washington Territory to become lawyers there. Earlier while in Kansas Kalloch borrowed $104.00 from one J. B. Wheeler at the Simpsons Bank of Lawrence Kansas to be paid back at 10% interest. The original promissory note signed by Kalloch is attached to the Protest for Payment. The loan was finally turned over to the Anglo California Bank of San Francisco who hired one James L. King a Notary Public to collect the money from Kalloch. Thus this official Protest for Non Payment signed by King was presented to Kalloch. In keeping with his personal history Kalloch refused to pay. Hart A Companion to California: p.254. unknown books

199852300New Castle Delaware & Winchester England: Oak Knoll Press & St. Paul's Bibliographies 1998. Hardback printed covers. small 8vo. Hardback printed covers. 230 pages. First edition. Second volume of the series PRINT NETWORKS. More than a century has passed since W. H. Allnut's paper on provincial printing was presented at the meeting of the Library Association in 1878. This topic has now moved to the forefront of investigating the history of the book. The annual Seminar on the British Book Trade has been steadily developing the depth and breadth of its interests encompassing the contemporary social economic educational and cultural climates in which booksellers printers and their fellows operated. <BR><br /> Even today few booksellers can support themselves solely by the sale of books. In the earlier days this was even more true and so they engaged in a wide range of trades including selling stationery printing and the sale of nostrums. Newspapers were also important sources of income since their distribution networks were essential to the proprietors' survival. For much of the population street literature was particularly significant. Two aspects of these ephemera - their contribution to the "oral tradition" and their crude illustrations - are explored here. The last three papers deal with the fact that we have so much printed matter to study is partly due to predecessors who formed libraries for their own use or for a wider readership. All these themes and more are included and explored in this work. Oak Knoll Press & St. Paul's Bibliographies unknown books
