Delightful anthology of maxims. "There are no anonymous maxims in this compilation of maxims expressly called phrases. They are phrases witty wicked and wise; are there any that deserve on of these qualifications and not on or both of the others Who shall make the classification agreeable to anybody but himself Yet there are the names of the authors to aid one; for some are names of deliberate wits. But it is not enough to know them; the state of mind of them at the time of their utterances should be divined. There are moments when deliberate wits have a heart I think. . There are in this book thoughts of men of genius and thoughts of simious comedians. If they were not all signed they could not be easily distinguished." - Preface. ; 162 pages; Signed by Author .

Scattered foxing lacks front free endpaper rear endpaper dirty light rubberstamp on title page Good. <br /> <br /> Lucretia "past forty and buxom" and Lino a young boarder who claimed to be the son of the Spanish governor of California became lovers; a decision was reached to rid themselves of Lucretia's inconvenient husband. <br /> "Five weeks after he arrived Lino purchased a quarter of a pound of arsenic from a Philadelphia druggist explaining that he used it in stuffing birds. The following day Mr. Chapman was taken ill; four days later he was dead." Soon thereafter the lovers "were quietly married in New York.Almost immediately the true character of the Spanish adventurer came out with the disappearance of the family silver and other obvious signs of his chicanery." His activities came to the attention of the police who decided to investigate Mr. Chapman's death. They discovered that "he was heavily dosed with arsenic" and arrested them both. <br /> This book contains all the material on Lucretia's trial. Lino was tried separately convicted and executed. Lucretia was acquitted. "It is difficult to tell whether they had acted in concert in the murder; at least the jury gave her the benefit of the doubt" quotations from McDade.<br /> McDade 169.

Du Bois's method a house-by-house canvass of the Ward had a lasting impact on him and revealed to him the true state of urban dwelling African-Americans. The effect of the study impressed Horace Bumstead the President of Atlanta University enough to offer Du Bois an appointment in Sociology and directorship of the newly formed conferences that resulted in the Atlanta University Studies of the Negro Problem and which eventually resulted in his ascension to national prominence.

1862BOOKS287833G/No Dustjacket. 1862. Broadside. Du Bois & Lowe issue a broadside notice for identifying their logs coming down the Susquehanna River. 17" X 14" Printed at Havre de Grace Md March 1st. 1862 The neat part of this broadside is the branding codes of the various lumber sellers. Although most of the lumber came from the West Branch of the Susquehanna River John DuBois was raised in Tioga County New York and still had connections here in the Owego area. Tioga County NY was and still is a major supplier of logs to the world. This broadside hung in the law office of former Judge George Boldman of Owego. For more information about the issues of the day - United States Supreme Court 73 U.S. 548 TOME v. DUBOIS. In the Circuit Court for the District of Maryland; the case as stated in the brief of counsel and assumed by this court being in substance thus: Dubois & Lowe brought trover against Tome Shure & Abbott to recover damages for the conversion by them of certain saw-logs and certain planks which Dubois & Lowe alleged to be their property. At the trial of the cause evidence was offered on the part of the plaintiffs that on September 30th 1861 several booms on the Susquehanna River were carried away by a freshet and that a large quantity of logs for lumber were swept down the river; that telegrams were at once sent to the postmasters at Port Deposit and Havre de Grace towns on the lower part of the river requesting them to have the logs caught and saved for the owners and that under such notices the defendants caught and saved a quantity of the logs and at once began to saw them into lumber. Evidence was also offered that a few days after the freshet the owners of the logs appointed a committee of three persons to go down the river and settle with the persons who had saved any portion of the logs and with full authority to sell the same; that on the 7th or 8th October 1861 the committee went to the sawmill of the defendants about seven miles from Havre de Grace and saw some of the logs there; that the committee offered to sell to the defendants all the logs between Safe Harbor Dam and Havre de Grace which included the logs then in the possession of defendants but the parties could not agree at to the terms of sale; that the defendants were then engaged in sawing the logs and had prior to that time sawed some of them and that the committee prohibited all further sawing thereof; that they estimated the lumber which had been sawed at from 40000 to 200000 feet; that they made several visits to the mill of the defendants and on their last visit which was in December 1861 and was for the purpose of ascertaining and measuring the whole amount there were in their judgment and by their measurement 400000 feet of sawed lumber and 100000 feet in logs. History of Lycoming County Pennsylvania by John Franklin Meginness on page 1099. John DuBois was one of the pioneer lumbermen of Lycoming county and during the early development of that great industry he laid the foundation of a large fortune. He was a native of Tioga County New York and in 1838 came to this county and located on Lycoming creek between Field's Station and Bodines. He and his brother Matthias purchased large tracts of pine and hemlock timber lands in Lewis and Cascade townships erected a mill and was engaged in the manufacture of lumber under the firm name of J. Du Bois & Brother. About 1850 they took into partnership E. S. Lowe then a prominent merchant of Williamsport and the firm was changed to DuBois & Lowe. In the meantime Mr. Du Bois had become interested in building a boom in the Susquehanna river at Williamsport and when the Susquehanna Boom Company was organized he was elected its first president . He also made large purchases of timer lands in Clearfield county. DuBois & Lowe bought several hundred acres of land on the river including the site of DeBoistown where they build a large saw mill with an annal capacity of 6000000 to 8000000 feet of lumber. In the spring of 1860 the flood carried away the boom and many million feet of logs went down the river some as far as Chesapeake Bay. DuBois and Lowe bought the greater portion of the logs built a saw mill at Havre-de-Grace Maryland to cut them into lumber and established an extensive wholesale lumber-yard at the same place. In 1863 Mr. DuBois bought the interest of his partner and thenceforth conducted the business alone. . . unknown

It was called My Pocket-book or Hints for a "Ryghte merrie and conceitede tour in quarto; to be called 'The Stranger in Ireland' in 1805. By a Knight Errant" 1807. This satire quickly passed through two editions and was followed by 'Old Nick's Pocket-book' 1808 written in ridicule of Dubois by a friend of Carr who was stung into bringing an action against Hood and Sharpe. The case came before Lord Ellenborough and a special jury at Guildhall 1 August 1808 when the judge summed up in favour of the defendants and the verdict was given for them. Two reports of the trial were issued one on behalf of the plaintiff and the other in the interest of the defendants; the latter report was appended to a third edition of My Pocket-book. from Wikipedia <br /> <br /> Previous owner Alexander Speirs of Elderslie died 1844 was a Scottish politician who sat in the House of Commons from 1835 to 1841.
