196548531Lewiston Maine: Inter-Continental Inc 1965. First edition. Very good. Rare program for Muhammad Ali's legendary rematch against Sonny Liston signed as "Muhammad Ali" shortly before the bout only a year after he took the name - and additionally signed by three other heavyweight champs present at Ali's training camp: Joe Louis Jim Braddock and Jersey Joe Walcott. Ali's swift and crushing defeat of Sonny Liston in the first round of their second title fight in May of 1965 remains not only one of the most iconic moments of Ali's storied career and of boxing history - but also in all of sports. An almost 2-1 underdog Ali's knockout after less than two minutes was famously captured in photographer Neil Leifer's legendary image of Ali towering over the fallen Liston. It remains one of the greatest sports photographs ever taken. <br /> <br /> The fight's status today however is belied in many ways by the humble circumstances of its original context. Postponed due to Ali's hernia surgery it was then rescheduled in the small industrial Maine town of Lewiston - partially because it was the one of the few arenas procurable on short notice but also because major venues were reluctant to be associated with Ali who was increasingly seen as a draft dodger. The fight was sparsely attended: by most accounts only about 2500 of the roughly 4500 seats in the Lewiston high school hockey rink were filled that night. Thus surviving examples of this program are scarce. <br /> <br /> Prior to the bout Ali had holed up at the Schine Inn in Chicopee MA to train talk to the media and receive well-wishers. On May 20 1965 five days before the fight he hosted three fellow champions: the "Brown Bomber" Joe Louis Jim Braddock and Jersey Joe Walcott who would also be the referee for the match where all four of these signatures were gathered the original owner noting as much above the signatures of Louis Braddock and Walcott. <br /> <br /> The program also reflects the confusion controversy and outright resistance surrounding Ali's recent name change. At the start of the fight itself the boxer was booed by the Lewiston crown when the ring announcer introduced him as "Muhammad Ali." Ali is referred to throughout the program as both Cassius Clay and Muhammad Ali and sometimes both at once. Ali had taken the name only the previous years after an address by Elijah Muhammad conferred him with the honorific meaning "most high one worthy of praise". <br /> <br /> This signature therefore represents one of the verifiably earliest "Muhammad Ali" autographs - and on the program and at the training camp for one of his most famous matches. A rare document linking Ali not only to the great Black boxers who immediately preceded him but capturing him at the very cusp of his popular transformation from heavyweight champion to civil rights leader anti-war activist and ultimately legendary humanitarian. A totemic object from the career of one of the 20th century's most famous important and influential figures. 11'' x 8.5''. Original black-and-white pictorial wrappers with red and blue elements saddle-stapled. Illustrated in black and white. 8 leaves. Signed by Ali in blue ink to verso of first leaf over his image. Additionally signed by Joe Louis James Braddock and Jersey Joe Walcott to blank verso of third leaf below the holograph caption likely original owner's: "The Schine Inn / May 20 1965." Wrapper with a bit of toning tiny area of discoloration to lower staple; careful narrow glue repair to upper spine very close inspection only. Leaves with a touch of toning. Else clean and sound.

1799WRCAM36586Trenton: Printed by G. Craft 1799. vi9-1496pp. Later plain wrappers paper label. Wrappers edgeworn splitting along front hinge. Light even tanning. About very good. In a half morocco box. This copy bears the ownership signature of Elisha Boudinot on page 29. The tract's author William Griffith studied law in Boudinot's office in Newark before being admitted to the bar in 1788. Boudinot's brother Elias was an important New Jersey lawyer and politician a member of the Continental Congress in the 1770s and '80s and a U.S. Representative from 1789 to 1795. <br> <br> This scarce collection of essays by William Griffith a prominent Burlington lawyer and legal writer argues for the revision of the Revolutionary-era New Jersey constitution. The original constitution crafted over a period of five days and signed just before the Declaration of Independence was a document that did little more than proclaim the state's independence from royal authority and establish a basic framework for government. In these essays some of which had been printed in the STATE GAZETTE Griffith sought to "bring home to every man's heart a conviction of the actual evils which arise out of the theoretic errors of the constitution." The fifty-three essays point out the defects in the constitution and describe Griffith's alternatives on issues such as the judiciary representation etc. Though Griffith and his Federalist cohorts supported revising the 1776 constitution the Republicans in the state opposed revision and carried the day. The New Jersey constitution would not be revised until 1844. EVANS 35570. FELCONE 105. SABIN 28829. COHEN 3194. Printed by G. Craft unknown books

183823980No place but Burlington Iowa 1838. Pen ink and watercolour map of Cumberland County with the properties of D. Parvin and D. Harris and numerous towns located the demarcation line between marsh and solid ground marked and the routes and names of all the main rivers and creeks shown some roads marked in pencil and the route between Salem Salem Co. and the tip of Cape May marked with a purple dotted line. An attractive map of Cumberland County in southern New Jersey.<br/> <br/>The Parvin property is identified as being on the southern bank of the Cohansey River in Fairfield Township. The Harris property is in adjoining Downe Township. These are the only two individual properties identified on the map suggesting that the map was either compiled for or by a member of the Parvin or Harris family. This map was loosely inserted in an 1838 edition of Bradford's Illustrated Atlas inscribed on the title "Theodore Sutton Parvin Burlington Iowa August 15/ 1838" and an examination of the map of New Jersey in the atlas shows that the Cumberland County area was squared up for enlargement. All of which gives a source and probable author of the map. Parvin has added some names and geographical features in addition to those shown on the Bradford engraved map. Theodore Sutton Parvin was born in Cedarville Cumberland County N. J. on January 15 1817; and died June 28 1901. He graduated at Woodward College Cincinnati in 1836; he studied law; was private secretary of Robert Lucas the first governor of the Iowa Territory and was the first librarian of that territory. Later he was librarian and professor in the Iowa State University; was a founder of the Iowa State Historical Society in 1857 and for the years 1863-65 was its corresponding secretary and editor. He was the founder in 1844 of the Iowa Masonic Library and through his exertions this library has its present building at Cedar Rapids. From its foundation until his death fifty-seven years he was its librarian. Collections of the Minnesota Historical Society 1905. vol.X part II p.871. unknown books
