CHARGE OF THE HON. CHIEF JUSTICE DURFEE DELIVERED TO THE GRAND JURY AT THE MARCH TERM OF THE SUPREME JUDICIAL COURT AT BRISTOL RHODE ISLAND A.D. 1842
Bristol 1842. 16pp caption title as issued. Disbound else Very Good<br/><br/> Chief Justice Durfee says that the Dorr rebels are traitors. "The first duty which every person residing within the jurisdiction of this State owes to it is that of allegiance." The Dorr Constitution "can find no justification in law." Durfee explains with references to Rhode Island's original Charter of 1643 that sovereignty is "found in the body politic and corporate and no where else.No one within this jurisdiction can lawfully renounce this allegiance and transfer it to another sovereignty." The Chief Justice denounces "this principle of revolution by an unauthorized and irresponsible movement of masses."<br/> Dorrites must have trembled when not long after giving this Charge they learned that Durfee would preside at the trial for treason of Thomas Dorr. <br/>FIRST EDITION.

The influence of scientific discovery and invention on social and political progress. Oration delivered before the Phi Beta Kappa Society of Brown University . on Commencement Day September 6 1843
Providence: B. Cranston and Company 1843. First edition 8vo pp. 52; removed from binding wrappers wanting; very good. Durfee here propounds the theory that "the recent revolutionary development of steam power was not merely an instance of man making progress it was a revelation of the divine 'law of progress' and of a 'higher destiny' planned by God himself for the new age" Schneider History of American Philosophy. These ideas were adumbrated by Durfee in The Panidea; Or An Omnipresent Reason Considered as the Creative and Sustaining Logos 1846 "a pretentious work that nobody read" DAB. More charitable comments are made by Joseph Blau in his collection of American Philosophic Addresses 1700 to 1900 page 381 ff where the Oration is reprinted in full. An important aspect of Durfee's deterministic theory of history is that "there is no absolute undefinable popular sovereignty which can in a manner its own and at any moment carry a certain supposed natural equality into social and political life and thereby elevate poor human nature however rude and degraded in condition at once as by a sort of magic into a state of supreme and absolute perfection" quoted by Blau. This is because the advances of science and technology impose conditions upon society which democracy cannot control and to which it must adapt. Blau notes that Durfee's views were influenced by German transcendentalism as mediated by Coleridge and Cousin. Not surprisingly given his skepticism on the efficacy of popular sovereignty Durfee as Chief Justice of the Rhode Island Supreme Court played a prominent role in opposition to the Dorr forces. Not in American Imprints Bartlett or Parks; Sabin 21427 note. <br/><br/> B. Cranston and Company unknown books

This was first printed in the Journal of the Rhode Island Institute of Instruction Providence: Charles Burnett Jr. 1847 vol.

Whitman 180378 was variously a poet essayist Transcendentalist spiritualist and romantic interest of Edgar Allan Poe!

Durfee Job.
The Panidea: or an omnipresent reason considered as the creative and sustaining logos. By Theoptes
Boston: Thomas H. Webb & Co 1846. First edition 8vo pp. 176; original printed wrappers backed with red cloth at an early date manuscript paper label on spine; wrappers lightly soiled and worn with minor loss to back wrap; a few corners creased and curled but text generally clean. A good sound copy. A work of Emersonian pantheism by the Chief Judge of the Rhode Island Supreme Court who presided over the Dorr trials. In an earlier work The Influence of Scientific Discovery and Invention on Social and Political Progress 1843 Durfee believed that he had found in the advent of steam power a sign of divine intervention indicating a "law of progress" in man's development. Panidea adumbrates this theme: all is eventually assimilated into the "Theanthropoid" Durfee's term for the Divine Mind. See Schneider History of American Philosophy. DAB offers a concise assessment: "a somewhat pretentious philosophical work which nobody read." American Imprints 2262. <br/><br/> Thomas H. Webb & Co hardcover books

DURFEE, Job (1790 - 1847)
Autographed Letter Signed to President John Quincy Adams
Rhode Island 1825. unbound. very good. 1 page 12 x 7.75 inches Rhode Island October 29 1825. Written to President John Quincy Adams trying to convince him that he is a supporter in part: ".Mr. Pearce who is my competition for the seat which of lately occupied in Congress. Sir I am informed stated publicly and repeated that in conversation with you whilst last at Newport on your way to Washington you said to him that a short time since - that the whole delegation of the state of Rhode Island of course including myself were opposed to you. I have no confidence in the correctness of this report but their sic may be some who will believe it. The people of this state knowing that I have amongst them uniformly avowed my friendship for you as far as the report is credited be inclined to believe I have asserted one opinion at home and another at Washington. It is therefore injurious to my private character and I would feel myself under great obligation to you could you think there be no impropriety in enabling you to correct it." Several small spots and holes; very good- condition.<br/> <br/> Job Durfee was a politician and jurist from Rhode Island. Born at Tiverton he graduated from Brown University in 1813 and was admitted to the bar. He was a member of the Rhode Island House of Representatives from 1816 to 1820 and was elected as a Democratic-Republican to the Seventeenth Congress and was reelected as an Adams-Clay Republican to the Eighteenth Congress serving from March 4 1821 to March 3 1825. He was an unsuccessful candidate for reelection in 1824 to the Nineteenth Congress and for election in 1828 to the Twenty-first Congress; he was again a member of the State house of representatives from 1826 to 1829 serving as speaker from 1827 to 1829. He declined to be a candidate for reelection and resumed the practice of law; in May 1833 he was elected associate justice of the Rhode Island Supreme Court. He was chief justice from June 1835 until his death in Tiverton in 1847.<br/> <br/> unknown
