1793Best.-Nr. 0010123Good with no dust jacket. 1793. Ephemera. On offer is a superb document issued two days following the creation of the notorious Committee of Public Safety which deliberately created the Reign of Terror following the French Revolution. The Decree was published on April 8th 1793 two days following the creation of the infamous Committee of Public Safety. It deals with the seizure of property specifically mills and factories that were owned by emigres those French aristocrats who had fled France following the Revolution. This emigration created several problems for the Revolutionary government. There now existed outside of France and within the borders of her enemies a very motivated group who were dedicated to the overthrow of the Revolution. Also among other assets the mills and factories that they owned were now idle contributing to lost food production and jobs. The National Convention ordered that all emigres return to France. Failure to do so would result in being permanently barred from ever re-entering the country and all of their assets would be forfeited to the government. This Decree addresses this. An excerpt from the decree follows: Relatif à la vente des Moulins et Usines appartement a la Nation ou provenus des Emigres Translation: Relative to the sale of the Mills and Factories owned by the Nation or originating from the Emigrants The Decree follows a report from the Committees of Agriculture and Food. Further excerpts from the document follow: Les moulins et usines appartement a la nation ou provenus des emigres qui sont places sur des rivieres ou cours d'eau ne pourront etre vendus qu'apres qu'il aura ete verifie que leur conservation ne cause aucun dommage aux proprietes environnantes et que leur destruction ne deviendra pas necessaire aux dessechement des marais. Translation: The mills and factories belonging to the nation or originating from the emigrants which are located on rivers or watercourses can only be sold after it has been verified that their preservation does not cause any damage to the surrounding properties and that their destruction will not become necessary for the draining of the marshes. . Apres ce rapport le directoire du department sur l'avis de celui du district ordonnera la vente desdits objets ou il y fera surseoir si le cas l'exige. Translation: . After this report the director of the department on the advice of that of the district will order the sale of the aforementioned objects or will have it postponed if the case requires it. The manuscript is signed by Louis-Jérôme Gohier the President of the Executive Council and Minister of Justice. When Napoleon became dictator Gohiet served in his government as Consul-General in Amsterdam. He was offered a similar position in the United States but was too ill to take up the position. For a historian or a collector of material from the earliest days of the French Revolution this is a superb item documenting the earliest efforts of the French people to establish a republican government separate from the monarchy and the feudal system that had ruled France for a millennium. For a person involved in the financial or economic world it is a wonderful piece of evidence of what can happen to a society where economic realities are cast aside. This double-sided single sheet document measures 8.75 inches by 7.0 inches. It has been separated from a larger bound volume and the thread holes are visible. There is some staining from dampness and from age. Otherwise it is in very good condition. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 1 pages .

Nearly seventy years after they were executed for espionage even after the opening of the USSR's secret Venona files the guilt or innocence of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg remains a subject of controversy. A National Committee to Reopen the Rosenberg Case the successor to the National Committee to Secure Justice to the Rosenbergs is active to this day. The trial like that of their contemporary Alger Hiss was enveloped by the early years of the Cold War. Added to the mix was the fact that the Rosenbergs were Jewish as were their prosecutors Irving Saypol and Roy Cohn and the trial judge Irving Kaufman. There is little doubt that significant prejudicial conduct occurred at trial including ex parte meetings with the trial judge and the introduction of inflammatory evidence which had little probative value. The National Committee published this Record "confident that the dispassionate reader will perceive the gross miscarriage of justice that cries out for redress." The Committee claims that David and Ruth Greenglass the government's "main witnesses" were themselves spies whose testimony was tainted by their desire to avoid the death penalty. There was no documentary evidence of the Rosenbergs' guilt. Indeed the prosecution whipped the jury into an anti-Communist frenzy; and the sentence of death was "barbaric.

Hardcover. 8vo; 688 ; 691 pages; Former owner's name on ffep of Volume 1 -- "ABE FORTAS" along with Fortas' blindstamp at bottom left corner otherwise contents unmarked and secure in original blue polished buckram with gilt lettering at spines. Foredges have speckles of foxing. xxxviii 2 688; xv 1 691 pp. From the collection of Supreme Court Justice Abe Fortas. First published in 1895 Sir Frederick Pollock and Frederic William Maitland’s legal classic The History of English Law before the Time of Edward I expanded the work of Sir Edward Coke and William Blackstone by exploring the origins of key aspects of English common law and society and with them the development of individual rights as these were gradually carved out from the authority of the Crown and the Church. PROVENANCE: From the estate of Abraham Fortas 1910 – 1982 American lawyer and jurist who served as a justice of the Supreme Court of the United States from 1965 to 1969. Fortas graduated from Rhodes College and Yale Law School and became a law professor at Yale and then an advisor for the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Fortas worked at the Department of the Interior under President Franklin D. Roosevelt and was appointed by President Harry S. Truman to delegations that helped set up the United Nations in 1945. In 1948 Fortas represented Lyndon B. Johnson in the dispute over the Democratic U.S. Senate nomination and he formed close ties with Johnson. Nominated by Johnson to the Supreme Court in 1965 Fortas was confirmed by the Senate and maintained a close working relationship with the president. As a justice Fortas wrote several landmark opinions in cases such as "In re Gault" and "Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District." In 1968 Johnson tried to elevate Fortas to the position of Chief Justice of the United States but that nomination faced a filibuster and was withdrawn. Fortas later resigned from the Court after a controversy involving his acceptance of $20000 from financier Louis Wolfson while Wolfson was being investigated for insider trading. The Justice Department investigated Fortas at the behest of President Richard Nixon whose Attorney General John N. Mitchell pressured Fortas into resigning. Following his resignation Fortas returned to private practice occasionally appearing before the justices with whom he had served.Although it has been more than a century since its initial publication Pollock and Maitland’s work is still considered a foundational reference for scholars of medieval English law. Volume one begins with an examination of Anglo-Saxon law goes on to consider the changes in law introduced by the Normans then moves to the twelfth-century “Age of Glanvill” with the first great compilation of English laws and customs followed by the thirteenth-century “Age of Bracton” author of another major treatise on the same subject. . 1952.

Northen's effort to organize a Peace Society in the early days of WWI "I have your letter . and note that your are organizing the Atlanta Peace Society. I sincerely hope that you may make this an effective organization." Taft who would go on to set up The League to Enforce Peace expounds on his ideas "I believe that at the close of the present war a movement for the establishment of an arbitral court will have more support than ever before and such Associations as yours can promote an organized movement for this purpose."

Secretary of War under Theodore Roosevelt and subsequently elected the 27th President of the United States William H. Taft 1857-1930 contemplated returning to practice law after leaving office. However he foresaw a conflict of interest as he'd appointed so many federal judges including many Supreme Court justices. He jumped at the offer from Yale Law School which would appoint him as Kent Professor of Law and Legal History. While there he prepared lectures on "Questions of Modern Government" and wrote several articles and treatises including "Our Chief Magistrate and His Powers". Following the outbreak of the First World War Taft hoped to prevent war through an international association of nations and assumed the presidency of The League to Enforce Peace in 1915 advocating for the creation of a League of Nations and world court. He would subsequently serve as the tenth Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court. New Haven, Connecticut, December 13, 1914.
