Plat map of 435 lots. 43.5 x 25.5 cm. Old fold lines, some toning to paper. Text advertisement for Brown & MacConnell Sales Managers, Fair Harbor Development Co., Inc. 64 Smith Ave., Telephone 128-M, Bay Shore, N.Y., printed below the border of the map. "Fair Harbor began as a real estate enterprise between George Weeks and Selah Clock (also the founder of Lonleyville) in 1923 with the concept of making beach houses available to the 'working man' and indeed they attracted a strong clientele from south shore Long Island hamlets like Bay Shore and Islip. However with the Great Depression on the horizon the business concept became strained. Then the Hurricane of 1938 roared on over Fire Island leaving only eight houses standing in Fair Harbor and enterprise went bankrupt. The community rebounded however after World War II, attracting New York’s City’s metropolitan" [see: the brief history on the Fire Island website]. The estimated number of houses in the area now seem to match the original lots. No locations OCLC or elsewhere found.

Description
Emporia, Kansas: The Emporia Gazette Office, 1907. First Edition. Signed presentation from White on a front blank page: “For Ed and Effie with love from Uncle Billy. Christmas, Nineteen seven.” Edward Curtis Franklin [1862-1927] taught chemistry at Stanford University and was president of the American Chemical Society in 1923, the first from Stanford. He grew up in Kansas and got his degrees in chemistry at Kansas University, where he met his wife, Effie Scott. Both were good friends of William Allen White, a famous Kansan. A very scarce, if not rare, printing on an address White gave at Oberlin College in Ohio on June 19, 1907. I have been unable to locate any copies of this address and it is not listed in the bibliography of White’s works in Merle Johnson’s “American First Editions.”. 16mo., red leather, stamped in gilt; 29 pages. Being An Address Delivered At Oberlin College, Oberlin, Ohio, June Nineteen, Nineteen Seven.. Very Good (some repair to crack along exterior spine & minor wear edges; contents clean & tight; two small staples attached to top of rear cover).

Clark, New Jersey: The Lawbook Exchange, Ltd., 2012. lvi, 363 pp. ISBN-13: 9781616192235 ISBN-10: 1616192232. Hardcover. Cloth with dust jacket. New. $75. * "This well-written and thoroughly researched book is essential reading for anyone interested or involved in property law or in English legal history. The main text and the footnotes both contain fascinating information. Mark Wonnacott's book throws illuminating shafts of light on the political, economic, social, and religious history of this country, as well as its legal history." --LORD NEUBERGER OF ABBOTSBURY, M.R. Who has not been a landlord or a tenant? It is one of the most common legal relationships between people, and has been since the medieval period. But there is very little academic interest in the law of landlord and tenant. Nobody before has attempted to write its history. This book shows how the rules on each point of importance have developed. Sometimes it demonstrates how a wrong turn has been taken, or an important principle forgotten. But its practical use is to provide the material for understanding the old cases, and to put those cases in their proper context; for it is hard for any lawyer, advising on a doubtful point, to say where exactly we are now, without a thorough understanding of what the law once was and how and when it might have changed. Mark Wonnacott is a barrister at Maitland Chambers in Lincoln's Inn, London, specialising in property litigation. If it is attached to the ground, he litigates about it, and the dustier corners of land law are his particular favourite. He was counsel for the successful appellant in Berrisford v. Mexfield Housing Co-operative Ltd. [2011] UKSC 52, which revived the rule that a tenancy for an uncertain term is a defeasible lease for life. When not in court or writing law-books, he is collecting or repairing them, or trying to learn Italian, without much success, or appreciating wine, with somewhat more success. Previous publications include Drafting Property Pleadings (EMIS Professional Publishing, 1997) and Possession of Land (Cambridge University Press, 2006).
