1807. Manuscript Copy of Middlesex County Bar Rules from 1807 [Lawyers]. [Massachusetts]. Rules and Regulations of the Bar in the County of Middlesex. Cambridge, MA, December 17, 1807. [14] pp. Quarto (7-3/4 x 6-1/2"). Four bifolium sheets, content in neat contemporary hand, signed with secretarial signature of President Artemas Ward. Light browning, moderate edgewear, light foxing and dampspots to a few leaves, vertical crease through center, partial splits along folds, a few leaves partially detached along spine. $2,500. * Most likely a copy made for a member, this manuscript pamphlet presents the rules and regulations of the Middlesex Bar. The preamble describes how "the counsellors and attornies residing in the county... are desirous to cement and confirm their union, to cultivate a hearty benevolence, and an ardent concern for each other's welfare." Among other topics, the six articles cover membership, the training of students and the proper conduct of members. The document closes with the minutes of the organization's founding meeting at Porter's Tavern in Cambridge, MA. Revolutionary War general and U.S. Congressman Artemas Ward [1727-1800] was elected president and future Massachusetts and U.S. Congressman Samuel Hoar [1778-1856] as their secretary. This organization was one of the first American bar associations, which were essentially short-lived social clubs. Their more institutionalized successors began with the American Bar Association in 1878. The present-day Middlesex County Bar Association dates its founding to 1899.
