Albany Bridge Case
THE POWER OF THE STATES TO BRIDGE THEIR NAVIGABLE WATERS. ARGUMENT OF NICHOLAS HILL IN THE ALBANY BRIDGE CASE BEFORE THE UNITED STATES CIRCUIT COURT HELD AT THE CITY OF NEW YORK IN SEPTEMBER 1858
Albany: Weed Parsons & Company Printers 1858. 48pp. Disbound bit of blank edge chipping Good. <br/><br/> This pamphlet prints Hill's argument in a significant constitutional case. One Coleman sought to enjoin the Hudson River Bridge Company from building a bridge over the Hudson at Albany; a New York statute permitted the construction. The issue was whether a State could authorize the erection of a bridge over navigable rivers of the United States. Defending the statute Hill says the real party in interest is the City of Troy which it fears would be competitively disadvantaged by the bridge. "And now comes Troy-- a city distinguished chiefly for the favors she has received and is constantly asking at the hands of the State-- and pointing to her local interests which have prospered under state patronage asks you to interdict an exercise of sovereign power prompted by state necessity." <br/> Hill argues that New York's authority is not hindered by Congress's constitutional power to regulate commerce and navigable waters. The Circuit Court which included Justice Miller of the U.S. Supreme Court agreed and dismissed the complaint. On appeal the Supreme Court divided 3-3 see 69 U.S. 403 1864; the tie vote rendered the Circuit Court's decision a final judgment. <br/>FIRST EDITION. II Harv. Law Cat. 1189. Sabin 31850n.

A SERMON PREACHED BEFORE HIS EXCELLENCY FRANCIS BERNARD ESQ; GOVERNOR HIS HONOR THOMAS HUTCHINSON ESQ; LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR THE HONORABLE HIS MAJESTY'S COUNCIL.

Boston: Green and Russell 1767. 60pp but lacking the half title. Stitched and untrimmed. Title and last several leaves heavily foxed. Else Good. <br/><br/> A fine Sermon delivered soon after the repeal of the Stamp Act and just before enactment of the equally execrated Townshend Acts. Bridge warns that rulers have the duty to promulgate "only such laws as.are fit for the government of rational intelligent moral agents all equal and upon a par antecedent to any political combinations among men;" and not to abuse their God-given trust "by serving the purposes of ambition usurpation and tyranny.But I must not enlarge." <br/> Whatever the form of government all men "have a natural right" to enjoy freedom: "every man protected in his just rights sitting under his own vine and under his own fig tree.and none to make him afraid." Careful to be conciliatory he praises English rule even Parliament "which tho' liable to mistakes has yet been attentive to the good of the nation and kingdom and her colonies and dependencies." He praises God that the "late transactions" did not proceed "to that extremity which many feared and which would have terminated in.the ruin of the colonies." <br/>FIRST EDITION. Evans 10569.

Wheeling Bridge Case
TWELVE PAMPHLETS ABOUT THE WHEELING BRIDGE CONTROVERSY BETWEEN VIRGINIA AND PENNSYLVANIA
This important case arose from the competition between Pennsylvania and Virginia for domination of the developing trade with western markets. The State of Virginia authorized construction of a bridge from Wheeling across the Ohio River. The State of Pennsylvania claimed that such a bridge would impede free passage of steamboats to Pittsburgh a major terminus of such trade. Pennsylvania sought to enjoin construction on the ground that the bridge was "a nuisance and an obstruction to interstate commerce on a navigable river" II Warren The Supreme Court in United States History 234. For years Pennsylvania had engaged in an ambitious program of canal railroad and turnpike improvements; the bridge it was claimed would diminish the value of these State-sponsored modes of transportation.<br/> The Supreme Court commissioned R. Hyde Walworth to determine whether the suspension bridge "is or is not an obstruction to the free navigation of the Ohio river at the place where such bridge is erected across the same by vessels propelled by steam or sails engaged or which may be engaged in the commerce or navigation of said river; and if it is such an obstruction what change or alteration if any can be made consistent with the continuance of the bridge across the said river that will remove the obstruction to the free navigation by such vessels." Congress also weighed in on the issue scheduling hearings at which the competing positions were aired passionately and in detail. <br/> "Few cases have ever excited greater interest or seemed to affect more extensively the internal commerce of the country than this celebrated controversy." Id. at 235. The Supreme Court held that Virginia's enabling Act unconstitutionally conflicted with Congress's power to regulate navigation and enjoined the construction as a nuisance. Dissenting Chief Justice Taney argued that Congress's failure to exercise its regulatory power left Virginia free to authorize construction of the bridge which in any event Pennsylvania had failed to prove was a public nuisance. <br/> <br/> The pamphlets are:<br/> <br/> a.
