Description
1977. [Civil Rights][Literature] Weatherby, W. J. Squaring Off: Mailer versus Baldwin. New York: Mason/Charter, 1977. Advance uncorrected proof. First printing. 8vo. Original tan printed wrappers with publisher's label affixed to front cover. An advance proof of Squaring Off, W. J. Weatherby's critical examination of the ideological and literary clashes between Norman Mailer and James Baldwin, two towering figures in 20th-century American letters. Weatherby contextualizes their contrasting perspectives on race, masculinity, and American identity, exploring Baldwin's incisive critiques of white liberalism and Mailer's controversial takes on Black culture. This work captures an era of intellectual sparring that shaped cultural discourse on race and power in America. Covers show light wear. Pages warped. Overall good-to-very good condition for an uncommon proof copy. A glimpse into a significant literary debate, with added interest as a pre-publication issue.

Description
1839 Farsighted Corporate Reform Proposal by Former President of the Maine State Senate. Quarto, three pages, plus stamp-less address leaf, formerly folded, otherwise, in very good, clean, and legible condition. Ham congratulates Mildram, "and the Democracy of Old Wiles and of the state that you are again called to your former post of usefulness in the Ho. of Repts. "Do our friends all behave well this session or not? Are they all REAL or PRETENDED Democrats?" He then praises Mildram's Senate colleague Nathan Ide for "an important principle...incorporated into an act of incorporation...Mr. Ide's section holding the private property of every Stockholder for the whole amount of corporate debts. I could carry it one step further - that is, there should be no private property exempt from attachment for corporate debts - it is, and ever has been a libel of the most palpable character on equal laws and free institutions that a man should be permitted to contract debts in a corporate capacity, defraud the unsuspecting poor and honest man and yet wallow in wealth and riot upon the productive labour of industry in his private capacity. If an association of men have not confidence enough in their own Chimerical schemes to hold themselves bound to pay all the debts which they contract or order contracted, why should we give them the privilege (for right it is not) to go on with their Utopian undertakings to a great extent, see them fail, as every reasonable man would have known from the first, and the turn round to their labourers and others and say 'Oh, we have no corporate property", ergo 'you cannot have your pay'? I believe the only votes I ever gave as a public man which I would alter if I could by wishing is the acts of incorporation I voted for without some such salutary provision… Give Mr. Ide and all other interested, and accept for yourself, my views of the rights of all concerned on such subjects, but public opinion and public men were not prepared to take the step. I hope you will prosecute the principles to its final results Give Mr. Ide and all other interested, and accept for yourself, my most sincere thanks for agitating the question. It ought to go before the people and they will decide rightly." Levi Jefferson Ham, a Dartmouth graduate, was a physician who was elected as a Democrat to the Maine Senate in 1835, serving as its President until 1838, the year before he wrote this letter. He was credited with helping to establish the first insane asylum in Maine and with negotiating the border dispute with Britain. He later moved to South Bend, Indiana, where, during the Civil War, he served as an Army surgeon, and, after the War was elected Mayor of the city.

2001. ISBN-13: 9781584771388; ISBN-10: 1584771380. Twiss, Benjamin R. Lawyers and the Constitution: How Laissez Faire Came to the Supreme Court. With a foreword by Edward S. Corwin. Originally published: Princeton University Press, [1942]. xii, 271 pp. Reprinted 2001 by The Lawbook Exchange, Ltd. ISBN-13: 9781584771388. Smyth sewn cloth bound hardcover with gilt stamped spine and front cover. New. $75. Spanning the crucial years of 1875 to 1935, which heavily overlaps with the Supreme Court's famous "Lochner Era," this classic work analyzes how the American bar acted as a bridge between big business and federal judges. During this time, the Court struck down many economic and social regulations. This book explains exactly how corporate lawyers shaped that legal environment. Twiss demonstrates how corporate protests against government regulation were successfully transformed into formal constitutional limits on state power. It remains a vital chapter in the history of judicial review and American constitutional law. The Corwin Connection: Benjamin R. Twiss [1912-1941] tragically died in a car accident at a young age. His mentor, legendary Princeton professor Edward S. Corwin, edited this manuscript and prepared it for posthumous publication. High-Quality Production: Beautiful cloth bound smyth sewn, with elegant gilt stamping, built to last for institutional or private libraries. Acclaimed Academic Praise: "One recalls, with sorrow at his early demise, that brilliant study... showing how our most brilliant barristers have led, if not shepherded, the opposition to all recent social legislation..." - Yale Law Journal (54:175) Listed in Marke, A Catalogue of the Law Collection at New York University (1953) 381.
