1771WRCAM42530N.p. but likely New Haven 1771. 1p. plus integral docketing leaf. Folio. Backed with tissue. Faint old fold lines. A few small edge tears at folds repaired. Minor soiling. Very good. In a red half morocco and cloth clamshell case spine gilt. List of monies paid to twelve members of the House of Assistants of the Connecticut General Assembly signed by several of them including two future signers of the Declaration of Independence Roger Sherman and Oliver Wolcott. Sherman is notable as the only person to sign all four of the major foundational documents of United States: the Continental Association the Declaration of Independence the Articles of Confederation and the U.S. Constitution. He also served on the Committee of Five that drafted the Declaration of Independence and later drafted the Connecticut Compromise for the U.S. Constitution which proposed a bicameral representative government and guaranteed equal representation in the Senate for every state no matter its size. Wolcott signed not only the Declaration but also the Articles of Confederation and later served as Connecticut's fourth governor. <br> <br> This document was likely written in New Haven which served as the joint capital of Connecticut with Hartford until 1776 hosting the October legislative sessions. In addition to Sherman and Wolcott it is signed by representatives William Pitkin Robert Walker Abraham Davenport William Samuel Johnson and Joseph Spencer. The remaining members are noted as having been "paid by receipt." It is docketed on the verso and signed by Joseph Trumbull deputy to the Assembly.

1902291158Richmond Virginia: Clyde W. Saunders Printer 1902. Hard Cover. Good binding. An uncommon account of the impeachment trial against Clarence J. Campbell judge of the county court of Amherst in 1902 by the Virginia General Assembly. The story begins when Campbell dismissed the case of a druggist having sold twenty-five barrels of whiskey in a year despite local Temperance laws. A Richmond minister then wrote an article calling Judge Campbell practically corrupt and certainly pro-liqueur trafficking to which the Judge responded by bringing him to court. Despite failing to land a contempt of court charge The Honorable Clarence Campbell found his revenge by striking the minister with a riding crop multiple times after the court adjourned though circumstances leading to this altercation are inconclusive. A stacked court then acquitted Judge Campbell of felonious assault strangely enough with the defense that a Virginian had a right to beat any Yankee that insulted them. This resulted in mass rioting in the streets by pro- and anti-Campbell factions all while the judge and his circle hosted a raucous into-the-wee-hours party which of course respected the Temperance laws and presumably contained only prescribed whiskey. In this account Judge Campbell becomes one of the few circuit court judges to be successfully impeached after outrage and a petition calling for his dismissal. Cheers to that! Binding is fragile and somewhat shaken; front hinge cracked. Quarter black cloth over contemporary paper boards with a paper spine label. OCLC notes two institutional holdings. Good binding. Clyde W. Saunders, Printer unknown books
