185545251Augusta House Augusta ME 1855. Very good folded small tear to one edge minor soiling and ink bleed through. 3 pp. Bifolium. 8 x 10 inches. Letter dated January 4th 1855 one day after the Maine elections from Maubec Mitchell Rawson newly elected Whig member of the Maine House of Representatives to fellow Whig party member and candidate for Governor Isaac Reed reporting on the efforts to fix the vote in favor of Reed's opponent Anson Morrill. Rawson had been appointed as a member of a gubernatorial committee that morning so was privy to the shenanigans: "Much talk is made about the course which some members of the Senate & House wish to pursue. I tell them I have no objections to throwing out the votes in the Hancock Plantation & thereby elect or in any way assist Mr. Milliken but to throw them all out & by so doing disfranchise some thousand & declare Mr. Morrill elected by the people. I tell them such a course will be suicidal to the great American party which Mr. Reed & myself are one."<br /> <br /> He goes on to report who is opposed to these moves and who might be witnesses: "When I see you I will inform you who are the men who are so conscientious about this matter. I am perfectly quiet & cool but I have been at work. most of the time for the last 24 hours. They the Committee propose to spend the night in the committee room so as to have it said that we are doing up business in shape but they are more anxious to declare Mr. Morill Gov by the dear people. I have heard nothing from you but I think my course is patriotic or an honest one & I shall pursue it unless you suggest otherwise. Don't show my letters to anyone. I shall be glad when this session shall close."<br /> <br /> Anson Morrill 1803-1887 was elected Maine's Governor in 1855 and served until 1856. He had been a candidate under the Know Nothing and then Republican parties.<br /> <br /> John F. Milliken however was not among the list of Representatives in 1855 but seems to have gotten himself appointed Postmaster in his hometown.<br /> <br /> Isaac Reed 1809-1887 was a merchant and shipbuilder.

1877026971UK 1877. First Edition . Paper. Good. 48mo - over 3 - 4" tall. An Original Handwritten Letter Signed by Historian and Novelist James Anthony Froude to Henry James Sumner Maine and His Reply to the Inner Page. Dated 1877. A brief letter to discussing Edward Gibbons and a reply by Maine to tell Froude he has been elected a member of the club. James Anthony Froude 1818-1894 was an English historian novelist biographer and editor of Fraser's Magazine. From his upbringing amidst the Anglo-Catholic Oxford Movement Froude intended to become a clergyman but doubts about the doctrines of the Anglican church published in his scandalous 1849 novel The Nemesis of Faith drove him to abandon his religious career. Froude turned to writing history becoming one of the best-known historians of his time for his History of England from the Fall of Wolsey to the Defeat of the Spanish Armada. Sir Henry James Sumner Maine 1822-1888 was a British Whig comparative jurist and historian. He is famous for the thesis outlined in his book Ancient Law that law and society developed "from status to contract." According to the thesis in the ancient world individuals were tightly bound by status to traditional groups while in the modern one in which individuals are viewed as autonomous agents they are free to make contracts and form associations with whomever they choose. Because of this thesis Maine can be seen as one of the forefathers of modern legal anthropology legal history and sociology of law. Size is 177mm x 114mm. Condition is good. Light folding crease.
