1885019894New York: No publisher 1885. Pamphlet. Good. Presumed the New York Bar Association. New York: 1885. Pamphlet side sewn lacking any wrappers or binding originally issued. 69 pp. Reprinted from the West Coast Reporter. A critical look at the Civil Code laws of California asserting that the civil code as written is full of errors uncertainties and inconsistencies with almost all sections needing judicial interpretation before their meanings can be understood. Pomeroy felt that the administration of the law was under threat of deterioration because of this. The New York Bar Association printed this critique because the civil code of California was a copy of a draft reported to the New York legislature in 1865. John Norton Pomeroy was an American lawyer and law professor and wrote many important text books and works on American law. Pomeroy helped develop the newly established Hastings College in California's law curriculum and served as their sole law professor. This helped him gain expertise in California law. GOOD condition. Moderate to heavy toning to the front cover with otherwise general toning. Faint dampstaining along the fore edge resulting in some light wrinkling to the text block. No publisher unknown

007120No Place: No publisher. Pamphlet. Good. No publisher or place perhaps Montgomery Alabama. 1870. Pamphlet disbound from a larger work. 16 pp. A printing of a short letter undersigned by Thomas M. Peters and Alex. White and addressed to William H. Smith then governor of Alabama followed with a lengthy response to the letter by Smith. The first letter questions the governor's efforts in Alabama including that he had 'been indifferent or inert in your efforts to enforce the laws in punishing Ku-Klux outrages murders and assassinations' as well as mentioning that 'Union men dare not speak their sentiments in Alabama.' Smith answers the letter by citing his efforts to adhere to the policies of Reconstruction as well as the struggles to get Alabama citizens and delegates to go along with the US government stipulations. He also contradicts the claims of indifference to Ku-Klux Klan crimes as well as pointing out that he and other Republicans feel safe in Alabama and are under no threat of assassination. The letters are dated July 6 and July 9th of 1870. William H. Smith was the first Republican governor of Alabama and was considered a pro-Union advocate despite being a former owner of enslaved persons. One of the letter writers Thomas M. Peters may have been the pro-Union politician and State Supreme Court judge nominated by the Republican party Alabama Government Archives website. GOOD condition.
