1870WRCAM56244New Orleans 1870. 128pp. Folio. Contemporary three-quarter calf and black pebbled cloth boards gilt leather label on front board. Most cloth on front board and calf on spine and lower outer corner of front board perished rear board worn and scuffed. Front board almost completely detached textblock tender in some places. Minor occasional foxing and spotting to text. Overall good condition. A rare surviving ledger from Reconstruction- era New Orleans containing tax assessment records for the Eighth Assessment District in 1869 and 1870. Most of the properties listed herein are in the heart of New Orleans including the French Quarter. The ledger is labeled "No. 1" on the front board and indicates it was kept by a tax assessor named Charles Lewis though the entries are made by at least two different hands. The text is comprised of ledger entries organized by squares within the city of New Orleans listing the streets bounding each particular square and containing the taxable entities in each square. For example Square 12 bounded by Ursulines Ave. Gallatin St. Hospital and Peters St. lists entries for eleven residential "taxable persons" their lot numbers measurements and real estate value in both 1869 and 1870. There are also eleven separate entries locations lot numbers and amounts of commercial capital for various businesses in Square 12; the businesses are specified in the "Remarks" column and include coffee houses liquor stores feed stores and a vegetable wholesaler. A couple of the squares are entirely residential in nature. <br> <br> The remainder of the ledger continues in the same manner relating important information on the residential and commercial makeup of New Orleans just after the Civil War with the last few pages reporting personal property brought forward from other ledgers and a recapitulation of each square. In total the ledger reports names of property owners real estate values commercial capital amounts and types of businesses for almost 1300 residents and businesses in Reconstruction New Orleans providing a rich foundation for further research. The front pastedown bears an attractive label from John W. Madden Stationer Printer and Blankbook Manufacturer at 73 Camp Street in New Orleans. hardcover books
1803WRCAM42001New Orleans 1803. 1p. on a folded folio sheet with engraved scene entitled "République Française" at the top of the first page. A few manuscript notes and calculations on the second and fourth pages. Old folds. Some soiling on fourth page a bit of ink bleedthrough. Very good. with: PRINTED INVITATION SENT BY THE FRENCH COLONIAL PREFECT OF LOUISIANA LAUSSAT FOR A GALA IN HONOR OF THE SPANISH COMMANDER IN LOUISIANA AND IN ANTICIPATION OF HANDING THE LOUISIANA TERRITORY OVER TO THE UNITED STATES. Dec. 11 1803 19 Frimaire an XII. 1p. printed on a folded quarto sheet addressed in manuscript on the fourth page. Small tear in upper right corner of first page half-inch split along one fold. Very good. Together in a half morocco clamshell case cloth chemises. A remarkable pair of documents announcing to a local French commander the completion of the transfer of Louisiana from Spanish to French control and inviting him to an upcoming gala in honor of the local Spanish commander and the forthcoming transfer of Louisiana Territory to the United States. The letter and invitation are both addressed to Capt. Guillermo Duparc commandant of the Point Coupée military outpost just northwest of Baton Rouge. <br> <br> Pierre Clément de Laussat the last French Colonial Prefect of Louisiana arrived there in late March 1803 just a month before the Louisiana Purchase Treaty was signed in Paris on April 30. Spain had ceded Louisiana to the French in the Treaty of San Ildefonso of 1800 though the provisions of the treaty had remained a secret; his immediate responsibility was to oversee the transfer from Spain to France. Laussat had been hearing rumors since his arrival of a potential sale of Louisiana from France to the Americans and those rumors were officially confirmed to him in August. In May 1803 the Spanish commanders of Louisiana including the Marquis de Casa Calvo announced the forthcoming retrocession of Louisiana from Spanish to French control a process that was formally completed on Nov. 30 1803. <br> <br> In the present letter dated just nine days after the completion of the Spanish retrocession Laussat writes Duparc sending him in translation from the French "the order which I have issued concerning taking possession of the French Republic of Louisiana in your district. I reached an agreement on it in advance with the Commissioners of S.M.C. Sa Majesté Catholique i.e. King Charles IV of Spain dated the 12th of Frimaire Dec. 4 1803." Laussat writes that along with the proclamation he is sending Duparc various decrees regarding the circumstances of French control and asks him to redouble his efforts for tranquility peace and order in his district. The proclamation and decrees mentioned by Laussat are not present with this letter. The manuscript letter is on Laussat's official letterhead with the seal of the French Republic and the engraved text "Marine. Coloniea. Louisiane." Interestingly Laussat has annotated the pre- printed portion of the letter changing his title from "Colonial Prefect of Louisiana" to "Colonial Prefect Commissioner of the French Government" reflecting the new political situation after the Spanish hand-over of the territory to the French just nine days earlier. <br> <br> The printed invitation is also addressed to M. Duparc and is very rare located by Jumonville in only one other copy at the Historic New Orleans Collection. Dated Dec. 11 1803 it invites Duparc to a SOIRÉE hosted by Laussat on "next Thursday" the 15th of December. The party was being held to commemorate the transfer of Louisiana from Spanish to French control and its impending transfer to the United States. More specifically the party was in honor of the Spanish commander the Marquis de Casa-Calvo brigadier of the Spanish armies in thanks for the Spaniards' efforts in recent days and as a sign of the union and friendship between the Spanish and French governments. On Dec. 20 1803 just eleven days after writing this letter and five days after his gala in honor of Casa-Calvo Laussat presided over the ceremony officially transferring Louisiana Territory to the United States. <br> <br> Laussat's manuscript letter and printed invitation of Capt. Duparc are rare survivals and fascinating evidence of the political military and social aspects of events in Louisiana in 1803 from the Spanish transfer of control of the territory to France to the official completion of the Louisiana Purchase by the United States.

Upper blank corners of last two leaves renewed couple of small holes in last leaf affecting about five letters. Good in modern boards.<br/><br/> The new Constitution mandated that "the Legislature shall apportion the representation among the several parishes and election districts on the basis of the total population. A representative number shall be fixed and each parish and election district shall have as many Representatives as its aggregate population shall entitle it to." This meant that in apportioning representatives slaves would be counted in determining the "total population" even though the franchise was limited to adult white males. The legislative deck was thus stacked in favor of election districts with large slaveholding plantations; and the interests of that segment of the State would dominate governmental councils.<br/> This provision created significant opposition to the proposed Constitution which was adopted by the narrowest of margins. Many called it "anti-republican" arguing that it reflected "a calculated effort to reduce the political power of regions where the black population remained sparse" Hyde Pistols and Politics 70 LSU Press: 1996.<br/> The Journal records the Convention's daily proceedings during July 1852 and prints the proposed Constitution. <br/>Jumonville 2151.

Printed by the New Orleans Republiean sic In Accordance with a Resolution of the Constitutional Convention Adopted March 7th 1868. New Orleans: Printed at the Republican Office 1868. 22 pp. Octavo 9-1/2" x 5-1/2". Stab-stitched pamphlet in plain wrappers bound into to later library cloth. Some soiling light shelfwear.

Louisiana's 1868 constitution instituted the criteria necessary for readmission to the Union. It eradicated the Black Codes of 1865 removed property qualifications for holding office and disenfranchised former Confederates. Indicating support for the Fourteenth Amendment which would be ratified on July 9 1868 the constitution granted full citizenship to African-American men with equal civil and political rights. It also banned segregated public schools and segregated accommodations on public transportation. This constitution was the First in Louisiana's history to include a bill of rights. These rights were severely diminished in Louisiana's 1879 constitution which followed the end of Reconstruction. Babbitt Hand-List of Legislative Sessions and Session Laws 152. unknown books
1828WRCAM49374New Orleans 1828. Seventeen volumes. Publication details and pagination provided below. Uniform 20th-century buckram gilt leather labels. Small ink library stamp on titlepages embossed blindstamp on most titlepages occasional ink ownership signature. Some small paper repairs minor foxing some leaves closely trimmed. A few small marginal tears including the bottom corner of one titlepage; some tears with minor effect on text individually enumerated below. Minor occasional staining mostly marginal or in the gutters. Overall a good set. A superb consecutive set of the first seventeen session laws issued after Louisiana achieved statehood in 1812 comprising the laws from the first session of the first "General Assembly" or legislature to the second session of the Eighth Legislature. A wealth of interesting information on the early affairs of Louisiana at a time when the state was at the western extreme of the United States. The first volume contains much to be expected from a first legislature: a resolution giving the legislature's assent to "an enlargement of the limits of the State of Louisiana" an act regarding the salaries of various state officials an act establishing election methods for various public offices including the U.S. House of Representatives an act authorizing a state loan and an act to organize a "Corps of Militia for the Service of the State of Louisiana." Understandably there is a voluminous amount of information regarding slavery in the state throughout the laws. During the first session of the legislature alone two of the twenty-four acts enumerated concern reimbursement from state funds for lost slaves one to imprisonment and one killed while trying to run away. There are also acts relative to runaway slaves private emancipation and more. Towards the end of the run the eighth legislature passed an act prohibiting entry of slaves into the state for purposes of sale. Other acts contained here organize the City of New Orleans into wards with various and numerous laws on internal improvements civil law and criminal law. While individual volumes come to the market on occasion nothing like this group has ever been offered at retail; it is a collection that would be impossible to assemble today on a book-by-book basis. <br> <br> The imprints included here are as follows: <br> <br> 1 ACTS PASSED AT THE FIRST SESSION OF THE FIRST GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF LOUISIANA.
