17329N.p. Printed portrait on thin coated paper 19cm x 12cm. Tipped in to folding card portrait case. Inscribed beneath image: "Study Art 1 Sec 8 Clause 5 of the Constitution of the U.S. and help to abolish interest / Yours truly / Jacob S. Coxey Sr." undated but likely dating from the period of Coxey's unsuccessful 1932 Presidential run as the candidate of the Farmer-Labor Party. Jacob S. Coxey Sr. 1854-1951; aka "General" Coxey was among the most colorful agitators of the early labor movement. He gained the sobriquet "General" when in 1894 he led a group of 400 unemployed laborers popularly known as "Coxey's Army" from Massillon Ohio to Washington DC. to demand unemployment benefits for all laid-off workers. The march did little to alter public policy but gained Coxey nationwide celebrity propelling him into a long series of highly public but unsuccessful political candidacies over the next 50 years though he did succeed in getting elected to the post of Mayor of Massillon Ohio in 1931. unknown books

Reprint of the fifth edition which was the last published during the author's lifetime. As Cowley pointed out the New Law-Dictionary first edition 1729 was both Jacob's masterpiece and "an entirely new departure in legal literature" that provided a model for several subsequent efforts. In contrast to earlier works each entry summarizes all of the laws relating to the subject and offers extensive interpretive commentary. Jacob 1686-1744 was also careful to omit obsolete terms. It was recognized almost immediately that Jacob had created a highly useful legal encyclopedia that was both more detailed and concise than any other abridgment of the period. An extremely popular work that went through twelve editions by 1800 it offers unparalleled insights into Anglo-American law during the eighteenth century.
