New York. Supreme Court.
In the court for the correction of errors. Robert H. Morris mayor of the city of New York plaintiff in error vs. the People of the state of New York on the relation of John Heath and Samuel Roome defendants in error. Case furnished by the plaintiff in error.
New York: Wm. G. Boggs printer 1842. 8vo. 46 pp. 1 blank f. <br><br>Mayor Morris refused to swear in Heath and Roome as assessors claiming election irregularity. The state supreme court held: "The loss of the votes in one of the four districts into which the Sixth ward was divided did not defeat the election in that ward. If the votes of the First district are to be considered as wholly out of the question in consequence of the riotous proceedings which drove the Inspectors from the room where they were canvassing the result of the election must then be determined from the votes of the three remaining districts." Does this sound like foreshadowing of the 2000 presidential election Good. Stitched in self-wrappers. Title-page soiled with very shallow chipping. Corners bumped. Pages browned in the margins.

New York. Newspapers
Prospectus of a Commercial Paper on a New Plan to Be Established in New-York and Called the New Universal Index Advertiser caption title
New York 1860. Very good. Broadside 15.75 x 9.75 inches. Old folds some minor loss and chipping. Rare broadside prospectus for the New Universal Index Advertiser a business newspaper in New York. The Universal Index Advertiser promoted itself as a paper that focused on the interests of business above all else without "those great names which have so violently agitated the American world." The prospectus touts a novel new order of arrangement in which organization would follow the plan of "dictionaries indexes concordances." and would classify its contents like such and organize its listing of commodities alphabetically by the commodity and then the name of the seller rather than the other way around as had been done. Intended to be published daily the paper would cost $12 a year; the bottom of the sheet is left blank for subscriber information. Despite its grand claims to revolutionize the format of the newspaper we can find no evidence that the Advertiser ever went to press. We do find a single copy of the broadside at the New-York Historical Society. unknown books

New York. Railroads
Highland Bridge Peekskill N.Y. Now Being Built Across the Hudson River on the Line of the Hudson Suspension Bridge & New England Railway.
New York: L.W. Ahrens Co 1885. Very good plus. Chromolithograph 21.5 x 28 inches. Matted. Minor wear soiling and a couple of modern pencil annotations at lower corners. A fine image of a proposed railroad bridge across the Hudson River just north of Peekskill New York. Plans to build a bridge over the Hudson River at the site between Fort Clinton and Anthony's Nose had been made as early as 1868. A contract was signed the following year and construction was expected to commence rapidly on the Hudson Highland Suspension Bridge. The purpose of the bridge was to provide a railroad toward Derby Connecticut enabling the supply of coal and iron for industry in the Lower Naugatuck Valley. By 1887 reports suggested the bridge would be finished in two years but by 1896 it was still unfinished when the Hudson Suspension Bridge and New England Railway Company reincorporated as the Hudson Highland Bridge and Railway Company. As a result of the long depressions including stock market crashes of 1873 and 1893 the bridge remained unfinished and the charter for construction expired in 1916. In March 1922 the state authorized the creation of the Bear Mountain Hudson River Bridge Company to complete the project. The bridge was opened on November 27 1924 and was the longest suspension bridge span in the world at the time but looked markedly different from the proposed bridge in this lithograph which bears a passing resemblance to the Brooklyn Bridge.

New York. Sullivan County. Holly John C.; Niven Archibald C.
Two Manuscript Letters Signed Concerning Political Maneuvers at the Sullivan County NY Democratic Convention in 1853
Monticello NY 1853. Very good lightly browned edges and folds. 2 pp. bifolium 1 sheet. 8 x 10 inches. The first letter written prior to the convention is dated Monticello August 30 1853 from John C. Holly who had been elected Sheriff the prior year is addressed to "Friend James K. Gardner" 1805-1860 one of the most prominent citizens of Barryville which he help found; in 1852 he was elected to the New York State Legislature and held numerous other offices. Holly complains about the jockeying before the convention: "The time has arrived when the friends of the several candidates throughout the county were up and doing and the love of contention appears to be this fall who shall go to the Senate and it appears to be determination of the General and his aids to have the doctor on the course and if he cannot do it in one way why in some other. The game appears to be this that the doctor is to get as many delegates throughout the county as he can and the General as many as he can and when they come to the convention all go in for the doctor. Now Lord George W. Lord prominent Monticello lawyer is a candidate for nomination and have understood that you was and I think the best way is to write your forces. Lord is not in any way anxious for the nomination and would rather throw his votes in with you . than in the hands of the General." The second letter was written after the convention by Archibald C. Niven 1803-1882 a Surrogate of Sullivan County New York from 1828 to 1840 Adjutant General of the New York State Militia in 1844 Democrat to the 29th United States Congress 1845-1847 and District Attorney of Sullivan County 1847-1850 most likely also to Gardner though there is no salutation and it is marked dpl. on September 10th 1853; "it would seem that Lord had determined to be Senator & among other things asserted that he had a letter from you & that you were in his favor. This of course was unpalatable to those who are unfavorable to Lord for he was defeated at our town Caucus by a decided majority. Well the county convention . and as I am told only 10 towns were represented making 30 delegates and as Col. Tremain & others were determined to go for me they counted and found I had 17. Woodbridge has said or at least a letter was received here from Albany stating that he had there said that he could or would control your vote & had done so during the session. All this excited prejudices and free-soilers with Curtis Major James C. Curtis at the head set to work & by trickery." unknown books

Bainbridge N.Y.: Chenango Free Democrat Office 1850. Very good. Broadside 15.75 x 12 inches. Matted. Light even tanning. An attractive illustrated broadside dated August 10 1850 advertising a short trip up the Susquehanna River from Bainbridge to Corbin's Mills scheduled for August 14. "Ladies and gentlemen are invited to attend - fare 25 cents each way." This broadside was printed at the office of the Chenango Free Democrat a free soil paper that would last from 1849 to 1850. The wonderful large wood engraving signed "Clarkson" shows the steamboat smoke billowing from her stacks the American flag fluttering in the breeze behind and passengers on the upper and lower decks. The Susquehanna flows through the center of Bainbridge but we could not locate a place named Corbin's Mills in the area at that time though the Corbins were a prominent family in the area and a lumber mill by the same name appeared about two decades later. Scarce with no listings in OCLC for this or similar items. Chenango Free Democrat Office unknown books

Also includes the Constitution of the State of New York passed April 20 1777. The laid-in notes are quite interesting.

Issued two months before the establishment of the U.S. Mint this note is essentially an authorization by the State of New York to issue fractional currency. The U.S. Constitution prohibited states from issuing paper money but it appears that a few states and municipalities issued notes or at least authorized them in the early 1790s.

New York; Van Buren John
The Constitutions of the United States and State of New-York and Articles of Confederation: Together with the Rules and Orders Standing Committees List of Members of the Senate and Assembly for 1831 List of Counties &c. &c. &c.
Albany: Croswell and Van Bethuysen 1831. Hardcover. Very Good. Contemporary red morocco gilt-stamped lettering on spine "Rules and Orders / 1831" and upper board "John Van Buren / Ulster"; 24mo 125x84mm; pp. 212 1 calendar plus 3 floor plans of the Senate and Assembly 3 folding maps see below. Binding a little scuffed here and there; spine a touch darkened; upper board flaring it would seem that the plates were added by the owner. Some foxing; closed tears along the creases of folding plates. A scarce volume OCLC locates just 6 copies not overly specific in their cataloging -- the most detail we can find is a copy which includes "2 folded leaves of plates illustrations map." This copy includes much more and additionally bears some handwritten notes on the plates -- presumably all by John Van Buren who also adds his ownership signature and a decoration to the front paste-down. Plates include: folding map of the City of Troy labelled by hand with notes locating landmarks; folding floor plan of the assembly dated by hand 1834; small hand-colored folding map of the city of Albany; folding floor plan of the assembly printed date 1831 presumably original to this volume; small folding floor plan of the Senate chamber printed date 1831 presumably original to this volume; large hand-colored folding "Map of the State of New York and the Surrounding Country" by David H. Burr printed date of 1829. <br/><br/>John Van Buren 1810-1866 was an American lawyer and politician. He served as Attorney General of New York and Democratic Party Leader. He was the subject of much innuendo even after his death -- rumored to have lost $5000 his father's home Lindenwald and his mistress the very popular Elena "America" Vespucci descendent of Amerigo Vespucci to George Parish of Ogdensburg New York in a card game at the LeRay Hotel in Evans Mills New York. This story has not been verified but it plagued Van Buren's reputation. He has also been credited with the semi-humorous saying "Vote early and vote often". Croswell and Van Bethuysen hardcover
