A copy that apparently was never bound, but whose signatures are tied together in three places along spine with sturdy thread. Moderate soil to external leaves, a few edge chips to untrimmed fore and bottom edges.. This is a strong Jeffersonian-Republican argument against the Jay Treaty, then before Congress.

The purpose was to resolve certain issues between the United States and Great Britain which had been left outstanding since the end of the American Revolutionary War.<br /> <br /> Jeffersonian Republicans were staunchly opposed to the treaty, and the fierce debate--of which this pamphlet is a part--caused such deep divisions that it cemented the American political party system. Even President Washington came under attack for his support of… Read More

Description:
Boston: Tappan & Dennet, 1844. Wrappers. Octavo. 132 pages. Very Good+. Original printed salmon-colored wraps over sewn binding, with minor edge rubs, a diagonal crease to lower fore corner of front cover, and short separations of covers at spine ends. Some foxing to first and last leaves.. Frustrated by Rhode Island's outdated landed property ownership requirement for voting, and by the inability to change the system legislatively, Thomas Dorr and his supporters essentially tried to set up a separate state government and capture the arsenal at Providence. These efforts were thwarted by Governor Samuel Ward King and the Charter government. Dorr was arrested and tried for treason. This is a record of the trial testimony and verdict. Despite his setbacks, Dorr's efforts resulted in Rhode Island's adoption of a new constitution in 1842 which removed the property restriction and otherwise greatly liberalized voting requirements in the state.

Description:
Hartford, Conn: Park Publishing Co, 1882. Original cloth over boards. Octavo. [i-iii], iv-xx, [xxi-xxii], (13)-518 pages. Very good. Bound in rust colored cloth over boards with gilt-stamped spine and blind-stamped boards. Skillfully rebacked retaining original spine and endpapers. A handsome copy.. 18 engraved plates (2 steel, 16 wood). Frederick Douglass's third, final, and most complete autobiography. His earlier books were published prior to the Civil War, while still technically a fugitive slave, and therefore still careful about revealing certain information. Here Douglass includes much more on his early life as a slave and his escape. Likewise, this is his only autobiography to cover the Civil War and its aftermath, including his relations with Presidents Lincoln and Garfield. <br /> <br /> This is a second printing of the first edition, as identified by the extensive list of points in "The Frederick Douglass Papers, Series 2, Vol. 3, Book 1.

Dyer was the chaplain at the Albany Penitentiary. His memorial sermon, given in the prison's chapel, coincided with Lincoln's funeral in Washington on April 19th. He finds the circumstances of Lincoln's death to be "of a painfully instructive character" for the nation, and lays out what he believes God "would have us learn from this event." <br /> <br /> Only 600 copies of this sermon were printed, according to early Lincolniana collector and bibliographer Daniel Fish.<br /> <br /> The Albany Penitentiary at this time housed many inmates from Washington, DC, as the prison there had been taken over for the U.
