A printing with explanatory notes of the correspondence between George Villiers Earl of Jersey 1735-1805 his wife Frances Villiers Countess of Jersey 1753-1821 and clergyman Francis Randolph 1752-1831 concerning their involvement in a scandal surrounding the loss of letters belonging to the Princess of Wales. Randolph had been entrusted to deliver the letters by the Princess but being unable to complete his task had them returned via carriage. They disappeared in transit. Lady Jersey a mistress of the Prince of Wales was accused in the press of having intercepted them and of passing several to Queen Charlotte whom they disparaged. She denied the allegations and attempted to lay the blame on Randolph. The Earl of Jersey published the subsequent correspondence between Randolph and his wife in an attempt to clear her name. The matter was never satisfactorily resolved and Lady Jersey remained persona non grata in many circles. ESTC T1230. First edition. 8vo. Richard White unknown

180034359Newark: Printed by Matthias Day 1800. Title 1-456; i-xxii; 1-46. Errata sheet bound in. 1 vols. 8vo signed in fours. Full contemporary sheepskin border of blind-stamped dots on covers. Owners' signatures one contemporary and stamps. Some wear to joints and hinges generally browned dampstaining to preliminaries at gutter else a very good sturdy copy. A FIRST IN WOMEN'S AND BLACK SUFFRAGE. Title 1-456; i-xxii; 1-46. Errata sheet bound in. 1 vols. 8vo signed in fours. Notable on page 231 paragraph XI is a reiteration of legislation originally set fourth in the New Jersey Constitution in 1776 reading in part: "And be it enacted That all free inhabitants of this state of full age who are worth fifty pounds proclamation money and have resided within the county in which they claim a vote for twelve months immediately preceding the election shall be entitled to vote for all public officers."<br/><br/>Once dismissed as a possible oversight or sloppy wording on the part of its framers historians now believe that the phrase "all free inhabitants" intentionally extended the right to vote not only to women but to free blacks as well as aliens. In addition the act does include a property requirement only that the person be worth "fifty pounds proclamation money" which included cash. This short-lived legislation which was rescinded in 1807 makes New Jersey the first state to extend the right to vote citizens regardless of race or gender.

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
