‎TRIAL OF HENRY B. HAGERMAN ESQ. ON AN INDICTMENT FOR AN ASSAULT AND BATTERY WITH INTENT TO MURDER; COMMITTED ON WILLIAM COLEMAN ESQ. EDITOR OF THE N.Y. EVENING POST‎

‎New York 1818. 68pp. 20th-century red buckram spine gilt. Minor toning and foxing institutional ink and blind stamps on titlepage. Very good. An interesting early 19th-century trial account involving the assault on an eminent New York newspaper editor by a prominent New York state official. The assailant Henry Hagerman allegedly "did make an assault.and there kick strike beat wound and ill treat.the said William Coleman." Hagerman was a Democratic Judge Advocate and was accused of misconduct by NEW YORK EVENING POST editor William Coleman. Coleman was the first editor of the EVENING POST which was founded by Alexander Hamilton in 1801. "On the evening of April 11 Coleman was overtaken by Hagerman near sunset at the corner of Murray and Church Streets and attacked without warning from the rear. His assailant used the loaded butt of a rawhide whip. The editor was stunned by the first blow was repeatedly struck and kicked as he lay prostrate and when he staggered to his feet half blind with blood was given a still more savage beating. Public indignation against Hagerman rose so high that he was hurried to jail for safety and not being able to ask for a change of venue pleaded for postponement of the trial until it subsided. Two years to a day after the murderous attack Coleman was awarded $4000 in damages a huge sum for 1820. But it was none too large. The editor had been prostrated for weeks recurrent strokes of paralysis followed and he was never in sound health again" - Nevins. SHAW & SHOEMAKER 43126. SABIN 29514.

The case of Peirce & Bacon Boston merchants revolves around drafts drawn on the Department of War for money due the freighters Russell Majors and Wadell the major firm freighting government supplies to New Mexico and Utah in the 1850's. Peirce & Bacon purchased a total of $260000 worth of these drafts what they believed to be "first class paper" backed by the "pledged faith and well known laws of the Government." The bankruptcy of the shipping firm threw the value of the paper into doubt. After submitting the drafts for payment and receiving no payments after eighteen months Peirce & Bacon appealed to Congress. This pamphlet sets forth their side of the case. unknown books‎

Huth-Pirie Copy of the 1612 Jaggard Printing of Bacon's Essayes. The second Jaggard edition of the Essayes of statesman and philosopher Francis Bacon 1561-1626. Jaggard used his 1606 edition of the Essayes which contained the original 10 essays of the first edition as a model for this 1612 printing. When a new edition by Beale expanded from 10 to 38 essays appeared in 1612 Jaggard canceled the final two leaves G78 and expanded the work to include the full compliment of essays.<br/>Jaggard made no entry of this or his 1606 and 1613 editions of the Essayes in the Stationers' Register and so it has been customary to regard his editions as piracies. Jackson gently disputes this notion in the note to Pforzheimer 29 suggesting that a later transfer of rights to Jaggard's widow in 1624 as well as the silence of Hopper and Beale who did register their rights with the Stationers' Company argues for Jaggard having some right to the Essayes. "In some manner therefore Jaggard must have himself secured 'rights' which the Stationers' Company regarded as transferable even though not previously entered in the Register" Pforzheimer. In any case a rare edition: we trace only this copy at auction.<br/>The Essayes which went into numerous editions in the author's lifetime and eventually expanded from the 10 essays printed in the first edition to 58 in the 1625 edition treat moral and political topics in "a terse aphoristic style . which Bacon conceived as a genre setting down discrete observations on life and aspiring to some kind of objective validity" ODNB. "In an age of complicated and superficial verbiage Bacon turns the licence of imaginative and allusive expression into an instrument of accurate and chastened thought" Cambridge History of English and American Literature. The Essayes were originally circulated in manuscript among Bacon's friends - the threat of a pirated edition by Richard Seeger lead to Bacon entrusting the work to Humfrey Hooper for publication in 1597.<br/>A fine copy with exceptional provenance.
