1831D13063Albany: Croswell and Van Bethuysen 1831. Hardcover. Very Good. Contemporary red morocco gilt-stamped lettering on spine "Rules and Orders / 1831" and upper board "John Van Buren / Ulster"; 24mo 125x84mm; pp. 212 1 calendar plus 3 floor plans of the Senate and Assembly 3 folding maps see below. Binding a little scuffed here and there; spine a touch darkened; upper board flaring it would seem that the plates were added by the owner. Some foxing; closed tears along the creases of folding plates. A scarce volume OCLC locates just 6 copies not overly specific in their cataloging -- the most detail we can find is a copy which includes "2 folded leaves of plates illustrations map." This copy includes much more and additionally bears some handwritten notes on the plates -- presumably all by John Van Buren who also adds his ownership signature and a decoration to the front paste-down. Plates include: folding map of the City of Troy labelled by hand with notes locating landmarks; folding floor plan of the assembly dated by hand 1834; small hand-colored folding map of the city of Albany; folding floor plan of the assembly printed date 1831 presumably original to this volume; small folding floor plan of the Senate chamber printed date 1831 presumably original to this volume; large hand-colored folding "Map of the State of New York and the Surrounding Country" by David H. Burr printed date of 1829. <br/><br/>John Van Buren 1810-1866 was an American lawyer and politician. He served as Attorney General of New York and Democratic Party Leader. He was the subject of much innuendo even after his death -- rumored to have lost $5000 his father's home Lindenwald and his mistress the very popular Elena "America" Vespucci descendent of Amerigo Vespucci to George Parish of Ogdensburg New York in a card game at the LeRay Hotel in Evans Mills New York. This story has not been verified but it plagued Van Buren's reputation. He has also been credited with the semi-humorous saying "Vote early and vote often". Croswell and Van Bethuysen hardcover books

185411905New-York: American Temperance Union 1854. 1854. 16pp stitched. Light tan and wear old rubberstamp number Good. <br/><br/> Despite his "known character as a high-minded honorable man" Governor Seymour vetoed a bill that would prohibit the sale of intoxicating liquors. Seymour's argument that the bill constitutes an excessive governmental intrusion into private lives is nonsense: the traffic in liquor causes "murders and robberies and riots" and other social evils; moreover a State has constitutional power to regulate "its own internal traffic" as the U.S. Supreme Court has said. "Friends of temperance! We have a great conflict before us. We have fought long and we have fought well.The rotten license system can not stand." The good guys will win eventually although "the rum interest is a mighty power." <br/>Sabin 92840. Not in Eberstadt Decker BEAL. American Temperance Union unknown books

1850517Bainbridge N.Y.: Chenango Free Democrat Office 1850. Very good. Broadside 15.75 x 12 inches. Matted. Light even tanning. An attractive illustrated broadside dated August 10 1850 advertising a short trip up the Susquehanna River from Bainbridge to Corbin's Mills scheduled for August 14. "Ladies and gentlemen are invited to attend - fare 25 cents each way." This broadside was printed at the office of the Chenango Free Democrat a free soil paper that would last from 1849 to 1850. The wonderful large wood engraving signed "Clarkson" shows the steamboat smoke billowing from her stacks the American flag fluttering in the breeze behind and passengers on the upper and lower decks. The Susquehanna flows through the center of Bainbridge but we could not locate a place named Corbin's Mills in the area at that time though the Corbins were a prominent family in the area and a lumber mill by the same name appeared about two decades later. Scarce with no listings in OCLC for this or similar items. Chenango Free Democrat Office unknown books
