Description
Philadelphia: John Fenno, 1796. [4], 59, [1 blank] pp, with the half title [torn at top blank portion]. Stitched, untrimmed, light to moderate foxing. Good+. Congress's most eloquent Federalist and Anglophile advocates adoption of the Jay Treaty with England. His support assured its passage. He warns the opposition "that a government wantonly refusing to fulfill its engagement is the corrupter of its citizens." The French Revolution has destroyed the good judgment of some Americans: "In the spirit of party, we could not love or hate enough." Citizen Genet had a lot to do with this: in an effort to raise an army in this country against England, "every popular passion was inflamed." According to DAB Joseph Priestly, who was in the gallery, called this speech "the most bewitching piece of parliamentary oratory I ever heard." Channing's History called it "one of the greatest speeches ever made in Congress." "The effect produced was absolute enchantment" [Port Folio]. "It was necessary for the treaty opponents to carry an adjournment in order to break the spell, but the next day the House by a majority of three voted to execute the treaty" [DAB]. Evans 29985.

Walt Disney Prod., Ltd stamp is present, crease near top right corner. About fine. Depicted are several views of the wooden shoe which turns into a ship that transports the nursery rhyme characters on their journey in this Technicolor Silly Symphony short which made use of the multiplane camera. The director, animator, color director and story people have initialed the illustration. Disney model sheets are collections of character reference guides used by animators and artists working on Disney animated films and television shows. They provide a consistent visual representation of the key features, expressions and poses of each character, ensuring their appearance remains uniform throughout the production. Model sheets serve as a crucial tool in maintaining the consistency of the animation style, as they offer a comprehensive understanding of the characters' design and movements. By following these guidelines, animators can create seamless, harmonious scenes that stay true to the overall vision of the project. They were printed on photographic paper in the late-1930s into the 1940s.
