How these four volumes will be considered by Posterity, I know not. They were written with great sincerity and great anxiety unpolished as they are, that must remain for I can never correct or revise them.

With my sincere wished for the increase of your library, and the prosperity of your Society and with a duplicate of the second and third volumes - I have the honor to be very respectfully your most obedient Servant, John Adams.

Investigations into Sarah’s death, and the discovery of her pregnancy, led to the arrest of married Methodist minister, Ephraim K. Avery of Bristol, Rhode Island. While some claimed Sarah had committed suicide, Avery was tried for her murder. He was acquitted in 1833 amidst popular outrage, which spurred the creation of this broadside. A similar example is held in the Library of Congress, printed in Philadelphia in 1833, with the verse listed as “sung by Mrs. John Thomas,” and another broadside ballad is held in the collection of Brown University Library, printed in 1833 and sold at Faneuil Hall in Boston.

(Constitutional Amendment and Slavery), Historically Important Petition Proposing the XIII Amendment Abolishing Slavery, Manuscript document signed, one page, November, 1864, on vellum, folio, signed by Schuyler Colfax as Speaker of the House, Hannibal Hamlin as Vice President of the United States and President of the Senate, and 110 members of Congress, many with associated designations of states; Resolution text in full: Duplicate. Thirty Eighth Congress of the United States at the Second Session begun and held at the City of Washington on Monday the Fifth day of December, One Thousand eight hundred and Sixty four. A Resolution. Submitting to the Legislatures of the several States a proposition to amend the Constitution of the United States. Resolved by the Senate and the House of Representatives of the United States of America, In Congress assembled (two thirds of the number of both houses concurring). That the United States, which when ratified by three fourths of said Legislatures, shall be valid to all intents and purposes as a part of the said Constitution; I namely:______. Article XIII Section I. Neither Slavery nor involuntary servitude except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, Shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction; Section 2._Congress shall have power to enforce this article by Appropriate Legislation. I certify that this Resolution Originated in the Senate. Secretary___, 21 3/4 x 15 5/8 in., (creasing and minor smudging, lightly faded, age-typical).

Note: The respected Abraham Lincoln scholar, the Honorable Frank J. Williams, notes, this extremely rare holographic copy of the joint resolution of Congress proposing the XIII Amendment is one of only a few copies extant. This historic document was the formal proposal being submitted to the states for ratification on the abolishment of slavery once and for all. Passage of the Joint Resolution by Congress was so important to President Abraham Lincoln, who worked assiduously for its adoption, that he signed thirteen copies, to the ire of some in Congress as the President was not required to sign such a resolution by the legislative branch. Lincoln’s home state of Illinois was the first to ratify the amendment on February 1, 1865. By the end of the Civil War twenty states had ratified it, including the slave states of Maryland, Virginia, Missouri, Louisiana, and Tennessee, but it was not until December 18, 1865 that ratification was made by three-quarters of the states.

Text in full: On the general subject, I respectfully refer Mr. Browne to the Secretaries of War and Navy for conference and consultation. I have a single idea of my own about harbor defence. It is a Steam-ram, built so as to sacrifice nearly all capacity for carrying, to ___ of speed over strength, so as to be able to split any vessel having hollow enough in her to carry supplies for a voyage of any distance. Such ram, of course could not herself carry supplies for a voyage of considerable distance; and her business would be to guard a particular harbour, as a Bull-dog guards his master’s door.

Note: In his request to Lincoln, Governor Andrew details that a million dollars has been appropriated to aid in the defense of the Massachusetts seacoast and has respectfully requested that the Federal government aid in the overall coastal defenses. Governor Andrew does not specifically ask for his advice on tactics. However, President Lincoln, ever the strategist in all matters, willingly gives his opinion on naval warfare.

Washington, George (1732-1799), Autograph letter signed, one page with holograph address leaf and free frank, July 2nd, 1799, to William Thornton, concerning his architectural plans for a building in the “Federal City,” bifolium with red wax seal present, (laid down to card, edge chipping, weakness along folds, some breaks, discoloration overall, minor losses).

Text in full: Mount Vernon 2d July, 1799. Dear Sir, Your favor of the 25th has been received; but you have mistaken the case entirely with respect to the Apses who were sent to my Jacks; - charging you nothing for the services of the latter, was not designed to lay you under obligation, but a feeble effort to repay the kindnesses you have heaped upon me. Col. Gilpin has forwarded the wrong box of glass to Baltimore, and soon will, I hope, receive the proper one in return.

Enclosed is a check on the Bank of Alexandria for one thousand dollars agreeably to the demand of M. Blagden, for the purpose of defraying the expenses incurred on my buildings in the Fedl. City. With very great esteem & regard. I am, - Dear Your Obedt. 7 Obliged Humble Servant.

George Washington. P.S. In the letter accompanying the glass from Boston-the makers say “The Glass must be set convex out.”

Note: This letter has many interesting characteristics. William Thornton, to whom it is written, was honored as the “first architect” due to his successful design of the Capital Building chosen by George Washington in 1793. The other pivotal figure in this letter is Colonel George Gilpin, a lifelong friend of Washington’s who was with him at Boston, Valley Forge, and Yorktown. He was also one of Washington’s pall bearers.

The architectural project being discussed were two townhouses that Washington was building on North Capital Street between B and C streets, now better known as Upper Senate Park. Washington inspected the houses in November of 1799 as they neared completion, but his untimely death in December of 1799 prevented him from ever utilizing the properties. The townhouses were eventually demolished during the rebuilding of the Capital. There is a letterpress copy of this letter in the archives of the New York Public Library. $20,000-30,000 151

George Gordon Byron, 6th Baron Byron (1788-1824), Autograph letter signed, with holograph address panel, dated Venice, April 27, 1819, three pages, to the editor of Galignani’s Messenger, Paris, stating that he is not the author of a work titled “the Vampire,” with humorous comment concerning his dislike for vampires, signed “Byron,” (2-in. strip trimmed off bottom, and adhered at one side with a spot of wax [affecting the last lines of pages 1 and 2 of letter, and date at page 3], folds, with small separations, small edge chips, handling wear).

Text in full: Sir,/In various numbers of your Journal, I have seen mentioned a work entitled “the Vampire” with the addition of my name as that of the author. I am not the author and never heard of the work in question until now. In a more recent paper I perceive a formal annunciation of “the Vampire” with the addition of an account of my “residence in the Island of Mitylane” an Island which I have occasionally sailed by in the course of travelling some years ago through the Levant--and where I should have no objection to reside--but where I have never yet resided.--Neither of these performances are mine, and I presume that it is neither unjust nor ingracious to request that you will favour me by contradicting the advertisement to which I allude. If the book is clever it would be base to (text obscured)...nobody’s dullness but my own. You will excuse the trouble I give you, the _____ is of no great importance, and as long as it was confined to surmises and reports--I should have received it as I have received many others, in Silence. But the formality of a public advertisement of a book I never wrote, and a residence where I never resided, is a little too much-particularly as I have no notion of the contents of the one, nor the incidents of the other. I have besides a personal dislike to “Vampires” and the little acquaintance I have with them would by no means induce me to divulge their secrets.--You did me a much less injury by your paragraphs about “my devotion” and “enchantment of Society for the sake of religion”--which appeared in your Messenger during last Lent;--all of which are not founded on fact--(heavy redaction). You will oblige me by complying with my request of contradiction.--I assure you that I know nothing of the work or works in question--and have the honor to be--(as the correspondents to Magazines say/“your constant reader” and very obedt. humble Servt.

During the Civil War, she, along with her sister Emily, and another female physician, Dr. Marie Zakrzewska, founded their own infirmary in New York City, the New York Infirmary for Indigent Women and Children, where they also trained many nurses, and other women desirous of pursuing further medical education.

Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton. In 1847, Stone graduated from Oberlin College, becoming the first woman from Massachusetts to earn a college degree. She was married to Henry Browne Blackwell, brother of Dr. Elizabeth Blackwell, America’s first female physician; Stone is the first recorded woman known to have retained her own name after marriage. At their wedding in 1855, prior to the service the two distributed and read aloud a prepared statement they called “Marriage Protest,” in which both renounced the laws allowing a husband’s control over the wife’s person and children. The author of this book, Alice Stone Blackwell, is the couple’s daughter.
