Also included is a single view of a rocky outcrop and trees in Central Park another of Glenn Falls on the Hudson and a third of the Montmorency Falls just outside Quebec as well as two fine but rather unexpected Swiss views of Amphion Lake Geneva both dated 1877. unknown

Good. <br /> <br /> A bitter attack on New York's newly enacted Sunday closing law arguing that the legislature does not possess "one particle of authority to enact any law which might directly or indirectly give a preference to the religious creed of any sect to the disparagement of any other or in any manner to infringe the right of any individual to the unrestrained and peaceable enjoyment of his opinions on the subject of religion."

Butler and John C. Spencer holds a celebrated status in the legal history of the state. It "was the first attempt to create and establish for any commonwealth governed by the English Common Law and by legislative statutes . of a body of written law systematically arranged based on the principles of law as a science regulating the exercise of public and private rights establishing domestic property and contract relations and covering the administration of every department of the government without touching the integrity of the unwritten law or transcending the proper bound of legislative control" Goodrich Restatement and Codification p. 253. Fearing that the importance of the revision would be lost on future generations William Allen Butler B. F. Butler's son and a noted New York lawyer organized portraits of the revisers to be commissioned and the present work published to detail the history of their project as well as provide biographical details on their lives. The present issue is a rare large paper edition limited to 25 numbered copies this being number 19. An early owner of this copy has extra-illustrated the work with letters by William Allen Butler 3 Benjamin Franklin Butler 3 Duer 1 and Spencer 1 Francis L. Stetson 1 and Thomas Addis Emmet 1 all on legal matters some written to each other. Banks & Brothers unknown

Scarce Civil War era pamphlet on the militia law of 1862 during the period in which both northern and southern states had to rely on States' militias to meet their troop requirements.<br /> <br /> At the beginning of the War neither North or South was adequately prepared for war; the total peacetime army consisted of only 16000 men. President Lincoln following the taking of Fort Sumter had to call up 75000 militia men. New York's share of this total was seventeen regiments of 780 men each or 13280 men. <br /> <br /> There was also a shortage of weapons uniforms and trained officers. The States' militia regiments were of uneven quality and none had any combat training. Militia drilling consisted mostly of parade ground marching and the individual units had never drilled together as part of a larger regiment. <br /> <br /> The pamphlet includes an act to provide for the enrollment of the militia.; military forms and instructions Index and "An Act to Enforce the Laws and Preserve Order passed 1845". 8vo 110pp forms.<br /> <br /> Original yellow printed paper wrappers stitch binding. Wrappers marked fox spotting to lower corner title page otherwise very good condition. OCLC: 2970647. Weed, Parsons and Co unknown
