A book with a curious history. It was copyrighted by "Thomas Hall" but contains neither the author's nor the printer's name. Tompkins 27: "Suppressed by the printers on account of the libels it contained. Parton calls them 'two octavo volumes of vituperation.' " It is said that the printer fearing the libel law submitted the book to a lawyer Samuel M. Hopkins of Auburn who after reading 20 or 30 pages reported that he found an average of a libel per page.

‎THE AMERICAN SENATOR. OR A COPIOUS AND IMPARTIAL REPORT OF THE DEBATES IN THE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES: INCLUDING ALL TREATIES ADDRESSES PROCLAMATIONS &C. WHICH OCCUR DURING THE PRESENT SESSION BEING THE SECOND OF THE FOURTH CONGRESS. VOL. I.‎

‎Philadelphia: Printed by John Page 1796. 352 4 pp 1 folded table. Later cloth some wear original red gilt-lettered red morocco spine label laid down. Good.<br/><br/> The Second Session of the Fourth Congress convened on December 5 1796 and closed on March 3 1797. Volume I reports in detail on the conclusion of George Washington's presidency. Evans records the total of three volumes as separate imprints with different printers noted as issued. The text is far more detailed than the official Journals of the period revealing starkly the division of the country into political parties one opposed to the President's policies the other supportive.<br/> The bulk of the volume treats President Washington's final speech to Congress in December with debate in House and Senate about a resolution of appreciation for the President's service and the measures he advocated. Washington's presidency had so alienated followers of Thomas Jefferson that a number of Congressmen including Andrew Jackson refused to join in a resolution of thanks. Yeas and Nays on a variety of votes are recorded; debates on the President's recommendation to establish a National University his advice on the militias; and also about the "Canadian and Nova Scotia refugees" "kidnapping of negroes and mulattoes" from vessels either to "sell them as slaves or the taking slaves to make them free;" and other matters Much discussion of the Creeks and Cherokees upon whose treatment the President remarked is printed.<br/>Evans 30165.

‎Autograph letter signed to Mr. John Paget‎

‎London 1879. <p>Carpenter William B. 1813-85. Autograph letter signed to Mr. John Paget 1811-98. London 56 Regents Part Rd. N.W. June 2 1879. 4pp. 178 x 114 mm. A few tiny pin-holes but fine otherwise.</p> <p>From English physiologist and naturalist William B. Carpenter who "helped shape the modern life sciences in Britain Oxford DNB through both his writings and his work as a teacher and administrator at what is now the University of London. Carpenter performed valuable researches in marine zoology and was directly influential in persuading the British Admiralty to sponsor the Challenger expedition the first major scientific study of the deep oceans. Carpenter is also recognized as one of the founders of the modern theory of the adaptive unconscious-he observed that the human perceptual system and the mechanism of human thought operates almost completely outside of conscious awareness. </p> <p>Carpenter's letter which discusses a false confession to murder made by a mentally unbalanced young man reads in part as follows:</p> <p>Dear Mr. Paget In turning out my papers at the University today I have come upon a document which I forward to you containing the Father's statement of his Son's relation to the "Brompton Murder" case with full particulars of the latter's confession and its inconsistency with the facts. </p> <p>I believe that I did not send in this to the Home Secy.; but that what I specially urged upon him was the evidence with which Knowles had supplied me of the "cracky" nature of the youth's mind and of the obviously hereditary tendency to brood as shown in the father and aunt-the latter an old servant of Knowles. And I remember also that there was evidence of the youth having had money in the Savings Bank and of his having drawn out a pound just before the Crystal Palace Police Fête.</p> <p>This altogether made so strong an impression on Mr. Bruce that he at once commuted the sentence; and the family were so sensible that the lad was not fit to take care of himself that they expressed no disappointment at his not having received a free pardon. . . .</p> <p>Carpenter's correspondent was the police magistrate and author John Paget whose Paradoxes and Puzzles published in 1874 included accounts of a number of sensational crimes. We have not been able to identify the murder case to which Carpenter refers in his letter.</p> . unknown books‎
