Report of the Committee to whom was referred the communication of Patrick Magruder clerk of he House of Representatives relative to the Destruction of the Library of Congress. Decmeber 12 1814. First edition.
Washington: L& G. Way printers 1844. . 8vo. Original wraps. 12.5 x 21cm. 12pp. plus 3 folding charts. 13th Cong. 3d sess. House doc. 33.OCLC 29139384.Patrick Magruder 1768-1819 was the second Librarian of Congress and served in that capacity from 1807-1815. He served both as the Clerk of the House and as Librarian of Congress as had his predecessor. Magruder had the misfortune of serving in those capacities at the time the Capitol of the United States was burned by the British during the War of 1812. At the time of the burning of the Capitol in August of 1814 Magruder was absent from Washington D.C. for health reasons. .He left the Office of the House and the Library of Congress in the charge of his brother George Magruder and two assistants. In addition to the books in the Library of Congress Patrick Magruder's office records which included the financial records of the House of Representative were destroyed. A Congressional investigation into Magruder's handling of Congressional funds found discrepancies including a shortage of $20000. .Although Magruder managed to avoid prosecution for his actions he resigned on January 28 1815. I have in my collection an 1814 government publication which contains a letter from Patrick Magruder to the Speaker of the House in defense of his actions which in turn includes an account by two office assistants of the events leading to the destruction of the Office of the House and the Library of Congress. Their account says in part "every thing belonging to the office together with the library of congress we venture to say might have been removed in time if carriages could have been procured but it was altogether impossible to procure them either for hire or by force." After Magruder's resignation the positions of Clerk of the House and Librarian of Congress were separated. different broadside from Marshall.From the collection of Frederic Gale Ruffner Jr. the founder of Gale Research Detroit.

SPANISH CIVIL WAR 148 contributors
Authors Take Sides on the Spanish War.
Left Review London. 1937. First edition. Royal octavo. 24 pages. Wrappers. A publication arising from a letter signed by twelve European writers prominent in Europe including Aragon W.H. Auden Nancy Cunard Heinrich Mann Pablo Neruda Ramon Sender Tristan Tzara etc. The letter was addressed to the writers of England Scotland Ireland and Wales and asked whether they were for or against the government of Republican Spain. Somehow Ezra Pound got involved he was neutral in a combative kind of way: ''Spain is an emotional luxury to a gang of sap-headed dilettantes''. The majority of responses were in favour and these include messages from Samuel Beckett ''�Up the Republic!'' - almost the shortest contribution Kay Boyle Thomas Burke Cyril Connolly Aleister Crowley C. Day Lewis Liam O'Flaherty Ford Madox Ford David Gascoyne Victor Gollancz Laurence Housman Aldous Huxley C.L.R. James Arthur Koestler John Lehmann Rose Macaulay ''AGAINST FRANCO'' - the shortest contribution Hugh Macdiarmid Louis MacNeice John Middleton Murry Sylvia Pankhurst V.S. Pritchett Herbert Read Olaf Stapledon Sylvia Townsend Warner Clough Williams-Ellis etc etc. In the neutral camp were Vera Brittain Robert Byron T.S. Eliot H.G. Wells V. Sackville-West etc. Only five messages are in the ''Against'' section including ones from Edmund Blunden Arthur Machen and Evelyn Waugh. The following year a similar exercise was carried out in America where 418 writers gave their opinions. This pamphlet has also been the inspiration for questionnaires on the Vietnam War and even the Falklands War.Foxing mostly light on almost every page. Covers lightly stained. Spine starting to split.

[Spanish-American War]: [Philippines]: [Rear Admiral George Dewey]
The Battle of Manila. Fought May 1st by Rear Admiral Dewey. Spanish Loss: 11 Ships 150 Killed 250 Wounded. American Loss: None caption title
New York: Muller Luchsinger & Co 1898. Color chromolithograph 16 x 20 inches printed on thick glossy paper. Corners a bit chipped several short closed edge tears minor surface wear. Image area still vibrant and clean. Very good overall. A striking and very rare lithograph capturing an important moment during the Spanish-American War specifically the American Navy's assault on Manila Bay in the Philippines in 1898. In the present scene three U.S. warships from the Asiatic Squadron in the left and middle including Admiral Dewey's flagship the U.S.S. Olympia fire their guns toward a few retreating ships flying the Spanish flag. A Spanish ship at middle right is almost completely sunken with just a portion of the flag peaking above the water. The scene depicts the first major engagement of the Spanish-American War a decisive victory for the American Navy that stands as one of the most lop-sided naval battles in history. During the course of the encounter the Spanish Pacific Squadron was destroyed and effectively ended Spanish colonial rule in the Philippines. The bombardment was commanded by Rear Admiral George Dewey 1837-1917 whose head-and-shoulders portrait appears in the bottom left corner.<br /> <br /> The work was accomplished by the New York firm of Muller Luchsinger & Company a prolific but still somewhat obscure producer of prints lithographs and chromolithographs in the latter-19th and early-20th centuries. OCLC records just two institutional copies at the Library of Congress and the Clements Library. A dynamic and patriotic American naval scene picturing the United States Navy's obliteration of the Spanish Navy in Manila. Muller, Luchsinger & Co unknown

[Spanish-American War]: [Tennessee]: [Georgia]
The "Boys" in Camp Thomas. Chickamauga-Chattanooga National Military Park Georgia wrapper title
Chattanooga TN: Sidebottom & Kerr 1898. 48pp. Slim oblong octavo. Original orange-tan wrappers printed in black stapled. Wrappers soiled creased and chipped with contemporary ownership inscription on front wrapper. First and last leaves detached from text block text block itself detached from wrappers. Good only. A scarce historical photobook that doubles as a catalogue for a Chattanooga photography studio at the outset of the Spanish-American War. Named after Union General George H. Thomas Camp Thomas was a massive temporary military training facility established at the Chickamauga Battlefield in Georgia during the Spanish-American War. The camp hosted up to 70000 troops but became a national scandal after deadly disease outbreaks. The work features seventy total monotone photographs from third-page to full-page with brief printed captions and plate sizes memorializing various scenes at Camp Thomas in 1898. The subjects of the photographs include military structures scenes on the training ground soldiers from various state units in small and large groups soldiers hosting local visitors the large corral of horses at the camp monuments inside the camp / national park views of the natural scenery and more. According to explanatory text on the inside front wrapper "the main idea is to show by photograph such scenes of every day occurrence; routine work both on and off duty as will give nearest a correct idea of what the life of a soldier in camp is made of or as you would see him were you on the grounds in person."<br /> <br /> The rear wrapper reveals an additional motivation for the publication of the work in the form of instructions for ordering any of the photographs featured within. Such is the reasoning behind the plate sizes listed by each example. The Chattanooga studio Sidebottom & Kerr states that "Every Plate in this Book was made expressly for it and having the negative can furnish upon short notice photograph of any plate." The company offers to send the catalogue free of charge to anyone east of the Rocky Mountains. A scarce and unusual photobook that does double duty as a Tennessee photographic studio's order book. OCLC reports just eight total institutional holdings. Sidebottom & Kerr unknown

[Civil War]: [Battle of Bull Run]: [Tillman, William]
Daily Sentinel Extra.To-Day's Dispatches. The Latest. Union Forces Retreating. Union Loss 3000
Indianapolis IN: July 22 1861. Broadside 16.75 x 8.5 inches on newsprint printed in three columns. Old folds moderate foxing and toning some creasing. Overall very good. An informative newspaper extra from Indianapolis printing recent dispatches about very early Civil War activity from Washington D.C. Kansas City New York and Baltimore with some homefront news printed in most of the last column. The most notable news printed in two separate dispatches "From Washington" on July 21 and 22 details the disastrous Union losses at the First Battle of Bull Run also know to the Confederates as the First Battle of Manassas. The news begins: "Our troops after taking three batteries and gaining a great victory were eventually repulsed and commenced a retreat on Washington." The news gets worse from there as the dispatch relates that "the carnage was tremendously heavy on both sides and on ours is represented as frightful." The report of Bull Run an event couched here as to "the intensest degree disastrous" comprises about half of the total space on the broadside frantically recounting the loss of troops and armaments the state of remaining supplies the panic of the retreat and the reinforcement of Washington following the retreat. Other war news is related from Kansas City regarding the recent skirmish on July 18 at Harrisonville Missouri New York noting the arrival of the schooner S.J. Waring here identified incorrectly as the "Waiving" and Baltimore concerning the arrival of General Dix.<br /> <br /> The news of the Waring's arrival in New York is particularly interesting for the heroic backstory of its recent capture and re-capture described here: "She was captured by the privateer Jeff. Davis on the night of the 16th. When fifty miles south of Charleston the steward Wm. Tolman colored killed three of the prize crew with a hatchet and the two others were released on promising to assist in working the vessel." "Wm. Tolman" was actually William Tillman a free African American working on the Waring as a steward and cook. After capturing the ship the Confederate prize crew of the Jeff. Davis told Tillman he was now southern property and he would be sold into slavery once the Waring landed in the South. Tillman and other passengers aboard the Waring hatched a plan to re-capture the Waring. Long story short Tillman killed the captain master and first mate and proclaimed himself master of the ship. His heroism was celebrated at the time and would later be recounted in William Wells Brown's The Negro in the American Rebellion Boston 1867. Some historians believe Tillman's heroism contributed to Gideon Welles' decision to open enlistment though admittedly highly restrictive enlistment for African American sailors in the U.S. Navy two months later September 1861 a full year before Black soldiers could enlist in the Army.
