1793003158Dublin: P. Byrne Grafton-Street 1793. First Edition full calf red label with gilt titles to spine. Calf rubbed front and rear boards moderate foxing throughout page block. prior owners names front endpages and title page front hinge just starting to separate. Contents are unmarked. One of the prior owners whose name is handwritten 3 times is "Alfred Balch Nashville". Balch was a close personal friend and neighboring plantation owner to President Andrew Jackson. He was a practicing lawyer in Nashville and eventually became head of the Nashville Bar Association. During Andrew Jackson's presidency Balch was appointed to the role of Commissioner of Indian Treaties. During this time he would be active in trying to resolve issues the Creek and Seminole tribes had with the United States government and may have helped resolve the Second Seminole War. Later in 1840 during the presidency of Martin Van Buren Jackson would pressure his former vice president to appoint Balch to the role of United States District Judge for the Middle District of Florida where he would serve as a Florida District Judge for only one year. In 1835 letters appear between Alfred Balch and Andrew Jackson suggesting a level of comfort that only friends would have with one another. In one letter Jackson seems to write angrily about a secret conspiracy to undermine his chosen successor Martin Van Buren. What evidence there is seems to suggest a very close relationship between Andrew Jackson and Alfred Balch.Balchepedia; the Encyclopedia of Balch History. A great association to Presidential and Tennessee history ! . First Edition. Full Calf. Very Good Minus/No Jacket As Issued. P. Byrne, Grafton-Street Hardcover books

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. <br/><br/> Printed by Childs and Swaine unknown books
