Description
WILLIAM COLEMAN (1766-1829). Coleman was the first editor of the New York Evening Post (todays New York Post) from 1801 until his death. He was an ally of both Aaron Burr and, later, of Alexander Hamilton. ALS. 2 pg. 8x 10. July 11, 1809. New York. An autographed letter signed by Wm. Coleman to Stephen Titus Hosmer Esqr: You did not inform me when your next Supreme Court at which my question would come up, would be in Session. I would thank you to let me know as I Shall try to be present Stephen Hosmer was a Connecticut lawyer soon to be named Chief Justice of the Connecticut Supreme Court. At this point, he seems to be referencing Coleman in some legal dispute, as the letter summarizes some of the legal research Coleman completed. I only hope, permit me once more to repeat, that your practice will allow you to Spread all the facts of the motion or in Some other way get them before the Court, as ours will. Pray find time to write me before long. One of the individuals mentioned is most likely Oliver Wolcott, former Secretary of the Treasury under Presidents Washington and Adams. Though little public record seems to exist to verify the case, it seems to concern fraud, most likely a controversial, salacious, and/or false story published by Coleman or one of his competitors. Early American newspapers were known for frequently resorting to rumor and innuendo, especially directed against leading American politicians. Colemans paper was fiercely Federalist and Anti-Jeffersonian in nature, to the point where in 1819 he was viciously beaten and paralyzed by a rival politician. The letter is in very good condition, and a typed transcription of the letter is included.

San Francisco, California: Harper San Francisco, 2004. 1st Printing. Trade Paperback. Fine. 5x0x8. First paperback printing. Brand new. 2004 Trade Paperback. 282 pp. Black-and-white photographs. "In Lily Dale, New York, the dead don't die. Instead, spirits flit among the elms and stroll along the streets, sometimes dressed in garb more common 120 years ago, when Lily Dale was founded and suffragette Susan B. Anthony was a frequent guest. According to Spiritualists who have ruled this Victorian hamlet for five generations, the dead don't go away and they stay anything but quiet. Every summer twenty thousand guests come to consult the town's mediums, who can hang out a shingle only after passing a test that confirms their connection to the spirit world. On the hot June day when reporter Christine Wicker comes to the world's oldest and largest Spiritualist community, she is determined to understand the secret forces -- human or otherwise -- that keep Lily Dale alive. She follows three visitors: a newly bereaved widow; a mother whose son killed himself; and a beautiful, happily married wife whose first visit to Lily Dale brings an ominous warning. Are the mediums cold-hearted charlatans, as Sinclair Lewis wrote of them' Or are they conduits for a hidden world that longs to bring peace and healing to the living, as psychologist William James and muckraker Upton Sinclair once hoped to prove' Investigating a movement that attracted millions of Americans in the 1800s and now barely survives, Wicker moves beyond the mediums' front parlors and into the lives that tourists never see. She follows the mediums to a place where what we know and how we know it is the greatest mystery of all.
