ISAAC G. BARNET to GARRET D. WALL
1805 LETTER FROM A RECENTLY RELOCATED LAWYER DETAILING HIS MOVE TO OHIO AND HIS THOUGHTS ON THE SORRY STATE OF LAW IN THE NEW STATE ALL TO GARRET WALL WHO WOULD EVENTUALLY BECOME A NEW JERSEY STATE ATTORNEY AND UNITED STATES SENATOR
CINCINNATI OHIO OH to TRENTON NEW JERSEY NJ 1805. On offer is a unique and gorgeously written letter from an lawyer by the name of Isaac G. Barnetwho has recently relocated to Cincinnati Ohio from England. He is writing to a friend Garret D. Wall in Trenton New Jersey. Garret Wall was at the time just a practicing attorney in New Jersey however he would go on to serve a long illustrious life first as a clerk for the New Jersey Supreme Court then as the U.S. Attorney for New Jersey then being elected a New Jersey Senator from 1835 to 1841 and finishing his life as a high court judge. In language that is often elegant and very obviously from an educated man the Mr. Barnet�s writes of many topics such as his recent departure from Trenton New Jersey to Cincinnati his new professional life in Cincinnati his old practice in Westminster in London England and the ease at which he finds that people can pass the Bar exam in his new home and the consequences this seems to have had. He begins the letter as such: �The most difficult part of a letter is said to be the beginning but I have found it the easiest in this instance having already begun without knowing how to continue the fact is I feel in but an indifferent mood this evening and you shall pay for it by being obliged to read what will neither be amusing enough to ____ a smile nor entertaining enough to please. This letter will give you no other pleasure than that which a sensible mind will always feel on hearing from an absent friend.� He continues apologizing for events that seem to have just transpired recently his relocating to Cincinnati from Trenton New Jersey: �I hope you are convinced before this that my abrupt departure from Trenton was not intentional that neither you nor Mr. Pemberton were selected as objects of neglect but that the _____ of my mind on the occasion will be a sufficient apology for any apparent neglect on my fact.� He also speaks of the timeless trope that continues to this day the observation that: �The sentiments of the people in general as in all other Democratic societies appear very much opposed to the lawyers.� He writes that this is even more so in his new home where seemingly anyone can pass the Bar exam and become a lawyer: �The facility of admission to the bar has introduced a norm of worthless and ignorant creatures into the profession who would sell an opinion for a grile of whiskey and require themselves for a pint.� Things in Cincinnati are different than in Westminster Mr. Barnet opines. Yet he writes �I have obtained more knowledge of the law since my short residence here than during all the rest of my studies - I have no other way to employ my time than in reading.� He finishes the letter with the usual pleasantries asking Mr. Wall to �remember me to the girls and to all my juvenile friends - I will conclude by giving you my sincere regards - Isaac G. Barnet.� The letter is four pages long consisting of two unbound sheets of paper. The pages are in fair to good condition showing a good deal of discoloration and repaired rips and tears. The letters must be handled with care. The handwriting is done in black ink which is still in good shape showing little fading or smudging. The entirety of the letter can be read easily and legibly. Background: Garret Dorset Wall March 10 1783 � November 22 1850 was a military officer and politician from New Jersey. Born in Middletown Township he completed preparatory studies studied law was licensed as an attorney in 1804 and as a counselor in 1807 and commenced practice in Burlington New Jersey. He served in the War of 1812 and commanded a volunteer regiment from Trenton. He was clerk of the New Jersey Supreme Court from 1812 to 1817 and was Quartermaster General of New Jersey from 1815 to 1837. He was a member of the New Jersey General Assembly in 1827 and was U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey in 1829; Wall was elected Governor of New Jersey in 1829 but declined to serve; he was then elected as a Jacksonian later a Democrat to the U.S. Senate and served from March 4 1835 to March 4 1841; he was an unsuccessful candidate for reelection. While in the Senate he was chairman of the Committee on the Militia Twenty-fourth and Twenty-fifth Congresses and a member of the Committees on the Judiciary Twenty-fifth and Twenty-sixth Congresses and Military Affairs Twenty-fifth Congress. From 1848 until his death Wall was a judge of the New Jersey Court of Errors and Appeals of New Jersey from 1848 until his death in Burlington in 1850. He was buried in Saint Mary's Episcopal Churchyard in Burlington. Garret D. Wall was the father of James Walter Wall also a U.S. Senator from New Jersey. Good. 4to - over 9�" - 12" tall.

ISAAC J. MEAD
1878 THROUGH 1889 ARCHIVE OF 5 HANDWRITTEN MANUSCRIPT DIARIES DETAILING THE LIFE AND TIMES AND POLITICS OF A CIRCUIT RIDING UNIVERSALIST PREACHER
AUGUSTA MAINE ME. Good. 1878. On offer is a super original archive of five 5 handwritten manuscript diaries authored by Reverend Isaac J. Mead of Augusta Maine. He was the son of Albert Manley Read who died in 1861 fighting in the Civil War. Research finds that Mead is listed in the Universalist Register of 1895 as editor of THE GOSPEL BANNER. His handwritten diaries are for 1878 he is 37 years old 1882 1887 1888 and 1889 when he is 48. Mead is an enthusiastic prolific writer rarely failing to write a diary entry rarely failing to detail his visits his works his travels and to set these writings apart Isaac Mead proves to be a rather political churchman who rarely fails to press the Universalist Church's approach. His daily entries include the weather his work on the Banner Universalist meetings conferences Sunday services his preaching funeral duties etc. He makes many 'insider' remarks on Church doings and of other Church communities' doings. Historians and collectors of Maine and the neighboring states will have a treasure trove of information on religious matters of the day plus Mead also details: politics of the day; the Blaine and Harrison presidential contest local news like the Dexter Bank case Stain-Cromwell were defendants stabbing on the mail train soldier jumps fight leads to death collision of ocean steamers muster week-encamped on Leonard Farm Glencarin finished race faster etc. Took trip to New York City-Coleman House Coney Island "great playground of this city" Fleetwood Park Eden Museum wax Madison Square - 2 plays. Mr. Fairburn got him his Remington rifle -"a very pretty gun". Mead mentions many hundreds of names of his colleagues visitors family et al. Many entries about gun club target practice etc. Reverend Mead does not provide holographic ownership markings but this archive of diaries came from a larger archive of his estate ephemera.

ISAAC S. PEAR
1862 HANDWRITTEN ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT CIVIL WAR ERA DIARY OF AN OBSERVANT MANUFACTURER OF COTS AND BEDS FOR THE UNION SIDE WHO WOULD ONE DAY BECOME A NOTED MASSACHUSETTS LEGISLATOR
CAMBRIDGE BOSTON MASSACHUSETTS MA. Good. 1862. On offer is the 1862 diary of Isaac S. Pear owner of a Massachusetts factory and business manufacturing spring and cot beds and specialties in folding furniture. Pear speaks often of his day-to-day activities and his business which he writes have been negatively affected by the ongoing and bloody Civil War. The entries range from short concise entries of the weather to longer ones directly related to his business activities at the time. There are also reports of the Civil War battles won and lost and the general feeling of the people around him usually a mixture of exhaustion and anxiety. He obviously keeps tabs on the war especially as it reflects the effect on regiments and people from Massachusetts and his entries reflect this often. It seems about the middle of the year Pear�s factory begins making cots and beds for the Union Army. A call goes out in August for men to volunteer for the Union. For a few weeks Pear closes his store and factory at 2pm �in aid of recruiting.� He mentions that stores that did not close early were shut down by a mob. There also seems to be a dour attitude about the situation as Pear often reports the amount who have died in the war and the despondent look of the soldiers who return. The situation does not look good at all through Pear�s eyes. He also mentions people he knew by name who have died in the war. The �Memoranda� and �Cash Accounts� section of the diary contain a number of pages of detailed lists of items bought and paid for money received from clients at the store and money paid out to employees many of whom seem to be family. The book is approximately 380 pages of which there is writing in 300 or so. The cover is soft black leather with a wrap around portion meant to slide into a little loop however the loop no longer exists. It says �Diary 1862� on the front. It shows a good bit of wear throughout. The pages show some discoloration and wear especially near the front and back but nothing that affects legibility. Pear wrote in pencil throughout the book and there is some smudging on certain pages that can affect legibility however these entries can be read with a bit of effort made easier under direct light. His handwriting is easy to read and legible throughout. The book is in overall good condition. Sample entries: �Friday February 7 1862. Quite and warm all day. The snow thawed considerably. News of the taking of �Fort Henry� on the Tennessee River read to-day. People feel elated. This evening took tea at Mrs. Williams.�; �February 8. Comes in pleasant but colder than yesterday. A little trade at store though still poor. The war affects business very much and all are anxious for a short but honorable termination.�; �March 19. Pleasant all day. The taking of Newberne N.C. continued. The 21st 23rd 24th 25th Mass. Reg�ts were in the action. Our cas. About ninety killed and 400 wounded.�; �June 19. Warm and pleasant all day. Busy at factory making spring cots for Army use.�; �August 5. Talk of a draft to fill the quota for 600000 more men for the army. Cities and towns offering bounties for volunteers for $100 to $200.�; �August 10. Visited Camp Cameron today.A large number of troops there under the new call of 300000 by President Lincoln.�; �September 3. All account go to show that the Rebels have an overwhelming Army and are determined to get into Washington and Maryland or die in the attempt.�; �December 13. John E. Noone was killed at the Battle of Fredericksburg this day aged 27 years.� Background: In 1852 Mr. Pear went to California. He traded in San Francisco three years and worked in the mines one year and then returned to Cambridge in 1857. The same year he entered his present business as manufacturer of spring and cot beds and specialties in folding furniture his factory being situated on Brattle street Boston. In the presidential campaign of 1856 Mr. Pear cast his vote in California for the free soil candidate John C. Fremont. In 1860 he voted the Bell and Everett ticket in 18564 for Lincoln and has been a republican ever since. Mr. Pear was a member of the common council with William E. Russell and in the board of aldermen the next two years. In 1887-88 he was a member of the legislature serving upon the committee on elections and giving valuable aid upon the committee on water supply in the taking of land around Fresh pond. He worked for the Australian ballot which was then secured. During his legislative career he was an intimate of the late Chester F. Sanger who occupied the adjoining seat in the house. Mr. Pear has been on the Republican City committee for the past dozen years. He is to-day a director in the Cambridge Mutual Fire Insurance company and also in the Colombian Cooperative bank. He is also an esteemed member of the California Pioneers of New England.; Manuscript; 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF ISAAC S.
