Early 17th-century account ledger of Giulio Cesare and Luco Spinola, two brothers of the Genoese patrician family, recording deb
Description
n.p., 1619. Early 17th-century account ledger of Giulio Cesare and Luco Spinola, two brothers of the Genoese patrician family, recording debts and credits over a period beginning in 1619 and ending in 1631. Information about individual debts is registered at the top of each page, with ample blank space underneath for successive transactions relating to the debt. Other pages are filled with tables recording transactions in a given period of time pertaining to different debtors and creditors. Although the book was evidently begun in 1619, some of the entries record transactions dating back to 1599. The entries are written in a single neat hand which only occasionally turns into a hasty scrawl. Six loose leaves inserted into the pages contain records of transactions from 1599 to 1630. The brothers were evidently responsible for the finances of their mother, Lamilla, whose name appears frequently, as well as their sisters. One of them, Luiggia, born Livia, was in a convent, while the other, Benedetta, had her dowry managed by her brother until her marriage to her cousin, Paris Salvago. Reflecting the Spinola family’s twin spheres of influence in Genoa and Naples, both places appear in the transactions, with somewhat more mentions of Naples—probably an indication of the focus of Giulio Cesare and Luco’s business interests, and a plausible explanation for why their accounting ledger should be bound in such a splendid Spanish-Neapolitan binding.. Folio manuscript, [25 x 35 cm], consisting of 119 numbered leaves and (70) blank leaves; (6) loose folded leaves. Contemporary black morocco wallet binding, most likely Neapolitan (or Spanish), elaborately and densely tooled, with original morocco reinforcements with decorative red stitching on lower edge (i.e., spine); some minor worming and abrasion. Vellum title shows minor soiling, and so do extremities of scattered leaves, but generally in an excellent state of preservation.

Description
19/11/1892. Letter signed, on black bordered Executive Mansion stationery as his first wife, Caroline Scott Harrison, had died less than a month before, three pages, November 19, 1892, to Cornelius Bliss concerning the appointment of a friend of Bliss as Ambassador to Portugal. Bliss was a seasoned politico who would be Theodore Roosevelt’s campaign manager in 1904.“I have your letter of the 16th and notice what you say about Mr. Einstein. I knew of course he took the race for Mayor only to help the general ticket and without thought of success himself. I fear that, as to the Portuguese Mission, some arrangements have been made with the Secretary of State, with my concurrence, that will make that impossible to give that to Mr. Einstein and I do not know what else there may be. You know I have only broken bits of meat and very little even of that. “Mr. Lispenard Stewart, General Butterfield, Mr. Webb and two or three other prominent people in your state have been urged by friends for foreign appointments since the election. I have only Switzerland that is not either disposed of or so complicated as not to be free. The best thing I think is to say nothing to Mr. Einstein about it and let me see what I can do. I know that you will appreciate my good disposition and also the limitations that are upon me.” Like many outgoing presidents Harrison wanted to reward friends with last minute appointments when possible. He was to leave office less than four months later.Cornelius Bliss was, in addition to TR’s campaign manager, the Chairman of the New York State Republican committee who was instrumental in Harrison’s carrying that state in 1888. He was later Secretary of the Interior under McKinley. Edwin Einstein was a Representative in the 46th U.S. Congress and did indeed run unsuccessfully for Mayor of New York in 1892.
