United States. Congress. House. 1845ABAA

TEXAS CONSTITUTION IN ORIGINAL STATE. Message from the President of the United States to the Two Houses of Congress. 29th Congress 1st Session. Doc. No. 2. House of Representatives

18453389Washington DC: Printed by Ritchie & Heiss 1845. First Edition. 8vo. 893 pp. 1 blank f. COMPLETE with the folding engraved map of Kearny's 1845 Expedition through the Black Hills and 6 folding tables. Stitched as issued. Uncut copy with pp. 601-893 unopened. Stained wear along edges folding tables loose. One leaf pp. 105/6 hastily opened with loss of the page numbers and several words of the Bill of Rights Art. 1 Sect. 1 and 9-11; centers of pp. 213-220 cut binder's blade with loss mostly on p. 219/220; some soiling elsewhere. Preserved in a folding protective case. UNCUT AND LARGELY UNOPENED copy of the FIRST Federal printing of the Constitution of the State of Texas: dated Dec. 2 1845 it preceeds the Senate version by one day for which see the digitized volume at UNT which is clearly dated "Dec. 3 1845." Streeter no. 1613 which is dated "Dec. 9 1845" has wrongly been described as "the first Federal government printing of the Texas Constitution." That would be an impossibility because that document is 29th Congress 1st Session House of Representatives Executive Document No. 16. Ours is as above but is Document No. 2 sic! Matters concerning Texas appear on pp. 3-137. "The President announces that Texas has complied with all the terms of the joint resolution on annexation and asks for early action admitting Texas to the Union. Contained is the Constitution of Texas and the first printing of the 1845 Joint U.S. Resolution for Admitting Texas to the Union.Â Includes a complete report of the state of the US Army immediately prior to the Mexican-American War with a map and 6 fold-out charts. Also contains reports associated with the settling of the Oregon boundary with Great Britain. It also contains Kearney's "Report of a Summer Campaign to the Rocky Mountains" and the journals of Lieutenants Turner and Franklin on that expedition. Streeter no. 1623 calls for a map and seven folding tables; our copy contains a map and six folding tables; presumably one is lacking. Nonethless it is what we would call MUSEUM QUALITY as it has never been sophisticated in any way and is suitable for exhibition. It is also bibliographically interesting as it contains a curious gathering "14" which in our copy may have been unintentionally preserved by the printer. It is signed "14" 4 leaves "14B" 2 leaves and "14C" 2 leaves. Pages 213-220 are quite clearly cancelled by a binder's blade but these were never replaced. Curiously these pages concern the establishment of MARTIAL LAW in the "Indian Country." Of the present edition we have seen only one other copy on the market namely the truly ugly copy in library buckram that sold at Cowans last year $625 which had six folding tables and lacked the map entirely. CATALOGUER'S NOTE: Incredibly the digitization of the UNT volume does NOT reproduce the Constitution of the State of Texas save the first 1/2 page of the Bill of Rights SOURCE: "From Republic to State: Debates and Documents Relating to the Annexation of Texas 1836-1856".

185623881Boston: American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions 1856. Hardcover. Good. A substantial but incomplete 29-volume run comprised of volumes 18 1822 20-21 1824-25 23--48 1827-1852 and 52 1856. One physical volume containing two years 24 issues otherwise each ontains a full year 12 issues. Mixed bindings with some volumes in contemporary calf or paper-covered boards some in later three-quarter leather or buckram some only stitched together no further binding. Most ex-library some with detached boards or torn wrappers but all text complete. Some scattered foxing and toning to pages but generally quite clean. Not pretty but a good reference set. The American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missionswas founded in 1810 with the aim of spreading Christianity worldwide and grew to be the largest and most important missionary organization in the United States. Although Congregationalist in origin the organization also included missionaries from Presbyterian and Dutch and German Reformed churches. It sent missionaries to far-flung locations around the world including India Ceylon China Singapore Siam the Sandwich Islands/Hawaii and other Pacific Islands and many locations in the Middle East and Africa. Men and women were also sent to minister to the native peoples of North America including the Choctaws Cherokees Dakotas Ojibwas Senecas Tuscaroras and Abenaquis. The reports of these missionaries as published in The Missionary Herald offer highly valuable primary source material on the history of the regions and peoples they visited. Due to the size and weight of this set additional shipping charges may apply depending on method and distance of shipment. Please inquire for a quote.

Another Day in Paradise

8807Albuquerque: Mark Attwood 1990. First Edition . Hardcover. Very Good. 1st and only edition: "This book is no. 41 in a limited edition of 50. Printed from linocuts on Rives heavyweight paper using a Dufa flat-bed offset press." On the next page preceding the title page: "Another Day in Paradise is a collection of images by a group of people from different countries and backgrounds. Artists printers students curators a director and a doctor participated. Each person was invited to make a linocut on the theme of 'Another Day in Paradise'. No images were edited. One book was printed for each participant." The book is lg. 8vo bound in coarse linen with no titles untrimmed edges. Condition vg; the binding has been slightly distorted by the laying in of a linocut described below. No text in the book other than that quoted above. Attwood whose blindstamped chop-mark appears on the above-quoted limitation page was certified a master printer by Albuquerque's Tamarind Institute about this time; he was soon to return to his native South Africa to found the Artists' Press which arguably has become as important to printmaking in Africa as Tamarind is in the U.S. Famous South African artist Erika Hibbert currently published there by Attwood contributes to this book in what may be her first appearance. Also appearing are Rebecca Schnelker Tamarind curator since 1978 and co-compiler of the Tamarind catalog raisonne; Garo Antreasian Tamarind's first director; Jeff Ryan who with Attwood helped invent the technique of dry lithography; Rita Deanin Abbey author Edward Abbey's second wife who still exhibits in Santa Fe; Bill Lagattuta shop manager at Tamarind; Jaune Quick-To-See Smith a Flathead-Shoshone artist whose work is in much demand; Pawel Frackiewicz who heads the Academy of Fine Art in Wroclaw Poland; Marge Devon a director of Tamarind; Mary Ristow who had a solo show in 1999; Jose Rodriguez now a well-known plein-air painter; Valerie Arber whose work inhabits the Rule Gallery in Denver and about 20 others. This copy apparently belonged to contributor Martha Slaymaker who is exhibited in the Albuquerque airport among many other places and was a fine artist in many media. Her son now runs the company she founded Slaymaker Fine Art Ltd. Laid in are 2 extra copies of her litho and also her original linocut the piece of linoleum itself. Interestingly she SIGNED the linoleum but faintly so her name cannot be seen on the printed versions. Mark Attwood hardcover

JOURNAL OF THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA BEING THE FIRST SESSION OF THE THIRD CONGRESS BEGUN AND HELD AT THE CITY OF PHILADELPHIA DECEMBER 2 1793. bound with JOURNAL OF THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA BEING THE SECOND SESSION OF THE THIRD CONGRESS BEGUN AND HELD AT THE CITY OF PHILADELPHIA NOVEMBER 3 1794

179537986Philadelphia; Philadelphia: John Fenno 1795. Folio. 205 1 blank; 114 12 pp. Each Journal is a separate imprint with separate title page each complete with Index bound together in contemporary calf with raised spine bands and gilt-lettered red morocco spine label. Light occasional toning Very Good. Old Historical Society bookplate and 'withdrawn' stamp on the plate. Laid in is the title page for pamphlet entitled "Extracts from the Journals of Congress Relative to the Capture and Condemnation of Prizes and the Fitting of Privateers." Philadelphia: Dunlap. 1776 Evans 15154. These documents print Messages of President Washington including his December 1793 Address opening the Session his first Message to Congress since his re-election. He warns "The United States ought not to indulge a persuasion that contrary to the order of human events they will for ever keep at a distance those painful appeals to arms with which the history of every other nation abounds. There is a rank due to the United States among nations which will be withheld if not absolutely lost by the reputation of weakness." Washington urges fairness in commerce with the Indians: "It ought to be conducted without fraud without extortion with constant and plentiful supplies." Washington is profoundly annoyed with Citizen Genet who has sought "to involve us in war abroad and discord and anarchy at home." The First Session records Federalists' successful challenge to Albert Gallatin's election as Senator from Pennsylvania on the ground that he had not satisfied the Constitution's nine-year citizenship requirement. Affidavits and other information are printed regarding Gallatin's early years in the country. Also discussed are fiscal matters; the Bank of the United States; the treaty with England and other foreign policy issues; protection of the frontier and military questions; the Eleventh Amendment to the Constitution withdrawing federal courts' jurisdiction of suits against a State by citizens of another State; and a host of other matters. The Session closed in May 1794. The President's Message opening the Second Session focuses on the Whisky Rebellion the major domestic event of the day. Washington recounts the attacks upon federal officers including the kidnapping of a federal marshal; and his careful measured response finally calling out the militia. The Second Session devotes much attention to matters affecting the militia and issues involving Creek Indian lands within the State of Georgia. Evans 27911 29724. John Fenno unknown

UNITED STATES. JUDICIARYABAA

An Act for Regulating Processes in the Courts of the United States and Providing Compensations for the Officers of the Said Courts and for Jurors and Witnesses

179256096Philadelphia: Printed by Childs and Swaine 1792. First edition the issue without the statement of deposition on page four. Folio. 4 pp. Evans 24896. Marcus and Perry "The Documentary History of the Supreme Court of the United States" 177. Removed from a bound volume of pamphlets. Toned some browning to outer edges a few small damp spots "No. 15" written in an early hand at the base of the first page but a very good copy. "Perhaps the most pressing judicial issue facing the Second Congress was the need for some more detailed regulation of federal process and procedure. The Process Act of 1789 which had been intended as a stopgap measure left most of those questions to be settled by reference to the practice of the various states. This temporary solution resulted in inequities. Some of these inequities such as the inadequacy of state fees for service of process had been addressed by the Compensation and Circuit Court Act of 1791. But because the 1791 act had not established uniform federal fees for judicial personnel such as clerks their compensation still varied widely from state to state. Faced with the expiration of the 1791 act in May 1792 the Senate appointed a committee to draft a bill providing compensation for judicial officers jurors and witnesses on November 1 1791. The committee consisted of John Henry of Maryland Caleb Strong of Massachusetts and James Monroe of Virginia. Despite the committee's limited mandate on January 26 1792 Henry reported a bill that also touched on judicial process. Its first two sections essentially reenacted the process Act of 1789 with two changes. Section 1 directed that court seals were to be provided at the expense of the United States a point not specified in the 1789 act and Section 2 omitted the direction that fees in the federal courts were to be determined by the fees allowed in the highest courts of the respective states. The remaining section specified among other things some of the fees that were to prevail in the federal system" Marcus and Perry. 2652. Printed by Childs and Swaine unknown books
