Description
Springfield, Illinois: William Walter, 1841. 8vo, contemporary paper covered boards, 359, xxiv pp. With auditor and Treasurer’s reports bound at rear. Boards detached, text block excellent, good overall. Good.. During the 1840–1841 session of the Illinois General Assembly, several laws were enacted concerning Nauvoo. These included legislation incorporating the city itself (pp. 52–57), establishing the Nauvoo House Association (pp. 131–132), incorporating the Nauvoo Agricultural and Manufacturing Association (pp. 139–145), and appointing a notary public for the city (p. 190). Beyond defining municipal powers, elections, judicial structures, and the authority to create a university, the “Act to Incorporate the City of Nauvoo” contained a notable provision permitting the formation of a militia. The act authorized the city council to organize residents liable for military service into an independent force known as the “Nauvoo Legion,” whose court-martial would consist of commissioned officers empowered to enact and enforce regulations; the legion was also exempted from other military obligations (p. 57). An additional clause attached to the Road Act further allowed any citizen of Hancock County to join the Nauvoo Legion through voluntary enrollment, thereby receiving the privileges granted to that independent military body (p. 223). Key figures named throughout the legislation include Joseph Smith, Hyrum Smith, Orson Pratt, Sidney Rigdon, George Miller, Lyman Wright, John Snyder, and Peter Hawes. Overall a scarce collection, significant in the history of the Mormons’ stint in Nauvoo which would end five years later; attractive in a contemporary binding despite the detachment of the boards. We find no copies on the market at the time of writing, and a single auction record (Hindman, 10/8/2020, sold for $3,473).

Bound (in a contemporary-to-the-period 1/4 leather over dark boards) with the 1855 1st edition of "Springs, Water-Falls, Sea-Bathing Resorts, and Mountain Scenery of The United States and Canada; Giving an Analysis of the Principal Mineral Springs with a Brief Description of the Most Fashionable Water-Places, Mountain Resorts, &c." AND the 1859 1st edition of "Munsell's Guide to the Hudson River by Railroad and Steamboat. Representing Every Town, Village, Landing, Railroad Station, and Point of Interest on or Adjacent to the Hudson River, from Staten Island to Troy, with Minute Descriptions and References, for the Convenience of the Business Man and the Traveler" AND FINALLY the 1859 1st edition of "Nelson's Guide to Lake George and Lake Champlain, with Oil-Colour Views Drawn from Photographs Taken Expressly for This Work". These 4 travel guides have held up very well, with bright, clean pages and tipped-in plates and maps.
