Description
Manuscript, 1814. Hardcover. Very good. Two manuscripts and a newspaper article attached to each other at their upper margins. unfolded approx. 8 x 20; 3 fold lines across; few spots of foxing to the article only; small nicks to bottom of manuscripts; very good or better. The newspaper cutout, titled "Notice," reads that Robert Todd Sr. - Mary Todd Lincoln's grand-uncle - has been entitled to 2 tracts of land in the Virginia Military District for being a veteran in the American Revolutionary War. He dies and the land is entered in the name of Robert Woodson (another Revolutionary War veteran). For the years 1800-1809, the land is broken into small pieces and sold to various people in order to have taxes covered. The article continues on to notify the various owners that the sons of Robert Todd - William L. Todd (the designer the original Bear Flag of California) and his brother Robert Todd Jr. are contesting the sale of the land and are appearing in court to try for the redemption of said land. Dated December 2, 1813. The article has been cut from either 'The Fredonian' or 'The Supporter' at Chillicothe, Ohio (presumed either/or from the context of the hand-written pages). The two manuscripts are notarized documents certifying that the above mentioned "Notice" has appeared in 'The Fredonian' and 'The Supporter' for six consecutive weeks each. The first script reads that John Bailhache (later good friend of President Lincoln) in his function as an editor of The Fredonian has come in front of the Justice of the Peace to certify the publishing of the "Notice." The second one is almost identical but with the editor of 'The Supporter' as a witness. Both documents are signed William Wallace, whom though we have not been able to explicitly confirm, might have been the father of William Wallace Jr. - Mary Todd's brother-in-law and the Lincoln's family doctor.

Rotterdam: Squat Theatre, 1977. Poster. 16x24 inch poster announcing performances at the group's trademark storefront theatre; pinholes at corners.

A History of the Law, The Courts, and The Lawyers of Maine, From Its First Colonization to the Early Part of the Present Century. Portland, Bailey & Noyes, 1863. iv, [ii], [v]-viii, [2], [9]-712 pp. Reprinted 2006 by The Lawbook Exchange, Ltd. ISBN-13: 9781584776284. ISBN-10: 1584776285. Hardcover. New. $95. * Early histories by local lawyers, such as this one, are often quite valuable because they were written by people who were steeped in local traditions and had access to practitioners of the preceding generation, who were invaluable sources of fact and anecdote about their generation and the generation that preceded them. Written during the early 1860s, this book draws on interviews with people who practiced before Maine was a state and could recall anecdotes from the colonial period. Along with historical chapters and biographical sketches of such lawyers as Simon Greenleaf and William B. Sewall, the book has information about "social usages of the bar," popular law books and how lawyers from other colonies were treated.
