JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE UNITED STATES AT THE FIRST SESSION OF THE THIRD CONGRESS
Philadelphia: Childs and Swaine 1794. 438 29 1 blank pp. Stitched untrimmed top edge uncut as issued. Remnant of original plain front wrapper rear wrapper present. Very Good or better.<br/><br/> This document includes several Messages of President Washington including his December 1793 Address opening the Session his first Message to Congress since his re-election. He warns "The United States ought not to indulge a persuasion that contrary to the order of human events they will for ever keep at a distance those painful appeals to arms with which the history of every other nation abounds. There is a rank due to the United States among nations which will be withheld if not absolutely lost by the reputation of weakness." <br/> Washington urges fairness in commerce with the Indians: "It ought to be conducted without fraud without extortion with constant and plentiful supplies." Also printed is Washington's Message of December 5 expressing annoyance at Citizen Genet whose utterances have tended "to involve us in war abroad and discord and anarchy at home." Subsequent presidential messages include additional material on the Genet Affair and difficulties with the Creeks and Cherokees "owing to the murder of several friendly Indians by some lawless white men." Also included is material on the Embargo; passage of the Eleventh Amendment to the Constitution barring federal court jurisdiction of suits against a State by citizens of another State; a bit of discussion of the Bon Homme Richard; and a host of other matters. The Session closed in May 1794. <br/>FIRST EDITION. Evans 27910. Childs and Swaine unknown books

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE OF CLAIMS TO WHOM WAS REFERRED ON THE 6TH OF DECEMBER LAST THE PETITION OF SETH NELSON ATTORNEY FOR SAMUEL BROWN.24TH MARCH 1800. COMMITTED TO A COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE HOUSE ON MONDAY NEXT. PUBLISHED BY ORDER OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. 5 3 blanks pp
1800. Uncut untrimmed. Lightly foxed and dusted about Very Good. Samuel Brown had served in the 4th Massachusetts Regiment during the Revolutionary War. The regimental agent Africa Hamlin had failed to pay Brown and others the money due them for their service as Hamlin had been "defrauded" of the pay certificates. Nelson tries to get Brown's money for him. The Committee takes a tough line denying compensation on the ground that officers of each regiment had elected their regimental agent on behalf of themselves and the general soldiery serving with them; in so doing they assumed the risk of default.

Building the American city : report to the Congress and to the President of the United States
Pale green-white quarto, xi, 504 pages, b&w illustrations; 27 cm. Housing -- United States. || Forty years after Tom Wolfe, Hunter S. Thompson, and Gay Talese launched the New Journalism movement, compiler Boynton sits down with nineteen practitioners of what he calls the New New Journalism to discuss their methods, writings and careers. These are, first and foremost, brilliant reporters who immerse themselves completely in their subjects: accompanying a mountaineering expedition to Everest, working as a prison guard, spending nearly a decade reporting on an individual family in the South Bronx. In these interviews, they reveal the techniques and inspirations behind their acclaimed works, from their felt-tip pens, tape recorders, long car rides, and assumed identities, to their intimate understanding of the way a truly great story unfolds. || Contents: Introduction and summary: The city as it is and as it might be -- Supplementary views of David L. Baker -- Glossary of important terms -- pt. I. The urban setting: population, poverty, race -- pt. II. Housing programs: Introduction -- pt. III. Codes and standards -- pt. IV.
