Sarah Grimké: Letters on the Equality of the Sexes and Other Essays.

réf. 146438New Haven: Yale University Press 1988. First edition of this collection of essays. Octavo original cloth. Association copy inscribed by the editor on the title page "For Justice Ginsburg - with deepest respect admiration & gratitude In sisterhood Elizabeth Ann Bartlett." From the library of Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Arguably the most famous Supreme Court Justice in American history lawyer and jurist Ruth Bader Ginsburg served as an associate justice of the Supreme Court of the United States from 1993 until her death in 2020. Popularly dubbed “the Notorious R.B.G.” a play on the name of famed 90s rapper The Notorious B.I.G. Ginsburg was responsible for some of the most eventful legal decisions of the past half-century. When she was nominated by President Bill Clinton in 1993 to replace retiring justice Byron White Ginsburg became both the first Jewish woman and the second woman to serve on the Court after Sandra Day O’Connor. Ginsburg was born and grew up in Brooklyn New York earned degrees at Cornell University and Columbia Law School and began her career as a professor at Rutgers Law School and Columbia Law School teaching civil procedure as one of the few women in her field. She spent much of her early legal career as an advocate for gender equality and women’s rights winning many arguments before the Supreme Court and in 1972 co-founded the Women’s Rights Project at the American Civil Liberties Union which participated in more than 300 gender discrimination cases by 1974. In 1980 President Jimmy Carter appointed her to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit where she served until her appointment to the Supreme Court in 1993. During her tenure as associate justice of the Supreme Court Ginsburg received increasing attention for her fiery and passionate dissents that reflected liberal views of the law. She authored several important majority opinions related to gender discrimination voting rights and affirmative action in cases such as United States v. Virginia 1996 which struck down the Virginia Military Institute’s male-only admissions policy as violating the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment Olmstead v. L.C. 1999 in which the Court ruled that mental illness is a form of disability covered under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and Friends of the Earth Inc. v. Laidlaw Environmental Services Inc. 2000 in which the Court held that residents have standing to seek fines for an industrial polluter that affected their interests and that is able to continue doing so. In 2002 Ginsburg was inducted into the National Women’s Hall of Fame she was named one of Forbes’ 100 Most Powerful Women in 2009 and one of Time magazine’s 100 most influential people in 2015. Her powerful and fiery dissent in the 2013 Supreme Court case Shelby County v. Holder in which she argued against the majority’s decision to strike down key provisions of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 emphasizing the continued need for its protections against racial discrimination in voting earned her the nickname “The Notorious R.B.G.” – a moniker she came to embrace which has since become a celebration of her important legal career and legacy. Widely regarded as one of the most remarkable women in American history Ginsburg redefined and transcended the traditional role of Supreme Court justice ascending to the status of intergenerational feminist pop culture icon. Near fine in a good dust jacket. Housed in a custom half morocco clamshell box by the Harcourt Bindery. "All history attests that man has subjected woman to his will used her as a means to promote his selfish gratification. but never has he desired to elevate her to that rank she was created to fill" Sarah Grimké 1838. Sarah Grimké and her sister Angelina were pioneering figures in the nineteenth-century abolitionist and women's rights movements. Grimké's "Letters on the Equality of the Sexes" published more than 150 years ago was the first full-length philosophical statement on "the woman question" written by an American woman. Here the letters are reproduced in a new edition along with five previously unpublished essays written by Grimké. Yale University Press hardcover

JOHN BARTLETT MESERVEBiblio.com

1930s ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT HISTORY OF NATIVE INDIANS OF THE SOUTH EASTERN USA WRITTEN BY A NOTED HISTORIAN AND JURIST OF OKLAHOMA

1935réf. 0007026TULSA OKLAHOMA SOUTH WEST USA. Good. 1935. On offer is a rare and fascinating manuscript by a noted lawyer judge and historian in the United States. Dating from the 1930s this outstanding manuscript is typed on 8.5 inch by 11 inch pages and bound in a 3 inch 3-ring binder. It contains approximately 250 sheets of paper; 3 ring punched typed 1 side only. Included in the manuscript are 39 black and white illustrations. The binder is in good condition and the pages are all intact save for the title page which is loose. The manuscript is typed with handwritten editing changes noted on various pages. John Bartlett Meserve was a noted American lawyer. He was a member American and Oklahoma State bar associations the Oklahoma Society S.A.R. state president 1928 the Oklahoma State History Society director and the N.H. State History Society. Later in his career he was a judge serving in Tulsa Oklahoma. Outside of his distinguished legal career Meserve was a recognized historian who made significant contributions to the study of the history of the native people of southeastern United States - the Cherokee Creek Chickasaw Choctaw and Seminole peoples. His was a regular contributing author to the Chronicles of Oklahoma the official journal of the Oklahoma Historical Society. His is also a published author with a number of credits to his name - all revolving around the history of the "Five Tribes" of the U.S. southeast. This manuscript is a biography of notable leaders of the Cherokee and Creek people. It is organized into 19 separate chapters. His goals are laid out in the Foreword: The life stories of such Indian Chieftains are of historical significance; some of them were calm thoughtful and discerning leaders possessing an intelligence equal to if not above that of many of their white oppressors and rendered a service of sterling worth; some were indifferent; some were bad . Biography is said to be the alphabet of history. With that thought in mind a portrayal of the lives of these Indian leaders in the historic background in which they moved should mirror the emotions of these simple people. Their history becomes fossilized in the cold narration of facts. Foreword The first two chapters entitled Early Controversy and Lawless Days in the Indian Territory set the historical stage. Pagination of this manuscript restarts with each chapter. Once the stage is set he begins with 17 individual biographies of men whom he considers significant leaders within these two nations. Included in his list are Sequoyah John Ross William Potter Hoas Lewis Downing Charles Thompson Dennis Wolfe Bushyhead Joel Bryan Mayes Colonel Johnson Harris Samuel Houston Mayes Thomas Mitchell Buffington William Charles Rogers Opothleyahola The McIntosh Dynasty Samuel Chicote The Perrymans Iaparhecher and Pleasant Porter . The anglicized names reflect the long interaction between the Cherokee and Creek people and very early colonists and explorers. These men are very much full members of their respective Indian nations. Some of the Chapters were separately published as stand-alone articles in the Chronicles of Oklahoma. The chapters contain photographs of the subject of that chapter original buildings drawings and maps. There are 39 in total. There are many editing changes and notations. For a historian this is an absolute treasure trove. Meserve is a meticulous researcher bringing a trained legal eye for details to a task that he is obviously passionate about. Researchers keen to understand the history of these peoples will find a wealth of details within the manuscript which will shed light on a tumultuous time in the growth of the United States. It will certainly shed light on the foundations of issues that are of significant national interest to this day.; Manuscript; 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF COLONIAL CANADA BATTLE OF THE PLAINS OF ABRAHAM; SEVEN YEARS WAR; FRENCH INDIAN WARS; ELIPHELET COFFIN; GENERAL JAMES WOLFE; VICE-ADMIRAL CHARLES SAUNDERS; LOUIS-JOSEPH DE MONTCALM UPPER CANADA LOWER CANADA PRE REVOLUTIONARY WARS FRANCE VERSUS ENGLAND NORTH AMERICA PRE CONFEDERATION CANADIANA QUEBEC AMERICANA HANDWRITTEN MANUSCRIPT DOCUMENT LETTER AUTOGRAPH WRITER HAND WRITTEN DOCUMENTS SIGNED LETTERS MANUSCRIPTS DIARY DIARIES JOURNALS PERSONAL HISTORY SOCIAL HISTORY HISTORICAL HOLOGRAPH WRITERS AUTOGRAPHS PERSONAL MEMOIR MEMORIAL ANTIQUITÉ CONTRAT VÉLIN DOCUMENT MANUSCRIT PAPIER ANTIKE BRIEF PERGAMENT DOKUMENT MANUSKRIPT PAPIER OGGETTO D'ANTIQUARIATO ATTO VELINA DOCUMENTO MANOSCRITTO CARTA ANTIGÜEDAD HECHO VITELA DOCUMENTO MANUSCRITO PAPEL . unknown

Journal kept by Lieut. Henry A. Bartlett U.S. Marine Corps U.S.S. Sacramento. 2nd rate. Commenced at Cape Town S. Africa April 27 1867

1887réf. 574231887. 4to 353 pages of entries in a legible hand approx. 65000 words plus an additional 80 pages of notes lists of officers and ships and tables of ships coordinates. Contemporary half sheep over cloth chipping and wear to spine and edges all page edges marbled. Bartlett's ink name and other notes on spine. Laid in are three silver albumen prints depicting Bartlett at various points in his career a letter from the Secretary of the State in Schuylkill Rodman Wister as well as handwritten copies of correspondence between Willard Bartlett and W.C. Whitney and three small broadsides of General Orders likely printed aboard ship. A small oval photo of the U.S.S. Sacramento in March 1867 is laid down on the ms. title page. Three small hand-colored illustrations of natives from sketches by M. Hypolite Silvaf are laid in or laid down in the text. Henry Bartlett was born in Rhode Island son of John Russell Bartlett an ethnologist and well known author of The Dictionary of Americanisms published in 1848 who also served for many years as Rhode Island's Secretary of State. He was also the state's first bibliographer having compiled A Bibliography of Rhode Island Providence 1864. Henry Bartlett saw service in the Civil War commissioned a second lieutenant in the Marine Corps in 1861. He was put in command of the Marine Guard aboard the iron-clad "New Ironsides" involved in actions in Charleston Harbor and later was part of the expedition to capture St. Augustine. Bartlett used this journal over the course of two decades during tours of duty as a U.S. Marine aboard the USS Sacramento from Cape Town to Ceylon Pondicherry Madras etc. in 1867; aboard the US Flag Ship Contoocook bound for Havana from 1868-69; on the US Flag Ship Hartford on the Asiatic Station in China and Japan from 1872-75; and on the USS Trenton in China Japan and Korea 1883-86. He records in some detail life aboard ship and at the various ports he visited. During his time on the Asiatic Station he also acted as a Judge Advocate at on board court martials. Following the Civil War the U.S. Navy along with the Marine Corps was expanding its influence and its reach around the globe. Of particular note is Bartlett's tour with the USS Trenton just as the first US diplomats were making inroads in Korea. By 1867 when this journal commences he was aboard the USS Sacramento bound for India. In short near daily entries later less frequent Bartlett records the weather; ports visited interactions with other international ships in the harbors etc. He mentions encountering a French Corvette bound for New Caledonia with 200 convicts aboard including twelve women. He notes the presence of two American whalers and an outbreak of yellow fever at Mauritius. In Ceylon he mentions meeting the American Consul going hunting and sightseeing and dining well on several kinds of curry. The account ends somewhat abruptly when the ship runs aground. Apparently while sailing en route from Madras to Calcutta the Sacramento was stranded on an uncharted shoal. Makeshift rafts were constructed and Bartlett boarded the last of these to leave the ship. Bartlett's raft suffered the misfortune of drifting miles away from the wreck and for two days the small craft with its 29 passengers was hopelessly lost at sea until rescued by the steamer Madras. Bartlett resumes his record in September 1868 with his new post aboard the US Flag Ship Contoocook bound for Havana. Anchored in the harbor there by mid-November Bartlett observes: "Havana is a strange looking place a great number of old tumble down forts at the entrance to the harbor mounting any number of guns. We found two large Spanish vessels in port & one English Man-of-War the "Jason." The Governor General Lersundi still holds out for the Queen. He had sixteen thousands troops in the city of Havana for which reason this place is very quiet - the island is much excited. We hear of fighting near us." In January he mentions that Captain General Dulce has little or no control over the Volunteers. "The force of Marines from the vessels lying here went on shore during the afternoon to try and keep quiet in the City. Cohner an American citizen was shot Sunday night while walking near his house." By June 1869 the Captain General Dulce had been driven from office and the city was under the control of an armed mob. Yellow fever and cholera were also constant threats to the health of locals and sailors. Despite the turmoil Bartlett managed to see a bull fight buy cigars and tour the sugar estate of the Arriettas known as "Flor de Cuba." The journal recommences in September 1872 with Bartlett's next post aboard the US Flag Ship Hartford bound for Hong Kong China and Japan. By spring they were moving from port to port in the Far East Singapore Hong Kong Shanghai Chin Kiang and Canton the Temple of Longevity Flowery Pagoda the Temple of the Sleeping Buddha etc. and dining on Birds Nest Soup shark fins and seaweed stew. He also mentions that a great crowd of American missionaries came on board to visit the ship while it was in port in Canton. In early 1874 the Hartford was in Yokohama. He and some of his shipmates toured Osaka and Nagasaki. In August he records what he was told was the most severe typhoon ever to hit Nagasaki with nearly every building in the city suffering some damage. In early 1875 he visited the Chinese Arsenal in Canton where he watched them making Remington and Spencer rifles "on a mammoth scale" 8-foot rifles requiring three men to fire them plus the manufacture of gatling guns and torpedos. While aboard the Hartford Bartlett received an appointment as a Judge Advocate and was often called upon to be one of the judges for the General Courts Martial which took place on board. The Hartford was ordered home in mid-1875. The ship stopped at Tripoli in August on its return trip and the Consul came on board complaining of his ill treatment by a group of Egyptian sailors and demanding help. Bartlett says: "I think the whole matter will be quietly settled in a few days. Our Consul is a Frenchman from New Orleans a quick fiery fellow and no doubt much to blame for the course he has pursued. He got himself in trouble only a year ago and stands in a very bad order with the Egyptian Government." Bartlett returned to the United States married in November 1875 and took a stateside post in Washington DC for a time. His wife Edith died in June 1877. By 1883 he takes up his journal again to record a final overseas posting this time aboard the USS Trenton. Bartlett records the ship's itinerary from Naples to Rome through the Suez Canal and on to Bombay Formosa and Nagasaki. In June 1884 the USS Trenton is in port in Seoul Korea. The ship provided an escort for the US minister General Foote to visit Seoul at the invitation of the King of Korea. Although Bartlett was not a member of the escort detail he did do some sightseeing around the city. He toured the grounds of the New Palace which had been partially destroyed by fire several years before and where the local population felt superstitious about living. Bartlett also continued his service as a Judge Advocate though in at least one case he was asked by a sailor to defend him in front of the courts martial Laid in is the small broadside printing of the General Court-Martial Order No. 11 dated Yokohama Japan July 29 1884 convincing Passed Asst. Paymaster James A. Ring of drunkenness. The sentence of the court found Ring suspended from rank and duty for two years but allowed to retain his present number on the list of Passed Assistant Paymasters during that time. Evidently Bartlett did a good job defending Ring. The printed broadside notes "the sentence is deemed by the Revising Authority as altogether inadequate to the offence but is approved in order that the offender may not entirely escape punishment." Bartlett records in his private journal that Ring was very grateful to him and presented him with a "very handsome present" as payment a Heizen Teapot cup and saucer. The USS Trenton was again called back to Seoul in December 1884. Both the Chinese and the Japanese were contending for influence in Korea. Early in December word had arrived of an insurrection in Seoul with a number of the Japanese-backed Korean Cabinet killed by anti-government Chinese troops. The US minister General Lucius Foote sent word that he needed protection and assistance and the USS Trenton was dispatched to his aid. Arriving in Chemul'po on Dec. 18 two officers and a detachment of ten men left the ship armed with 2000 rounds of cartridges and six days of rations to act as a guard for the US Consulate and escort Gen. and Mrs. Foote to safety. Rumors about the fate of some of the Korean government officials were abundant - Min Yong Ik was brutally attacked and there appeared to have been a slaughter of all Japanese found in the city. U.S. Naval Attache George Faulk was away in Fusan but the sailors successfully got the General and his wife aboard ship. Tensions in the region continued for most of the rest of the USS Trenton's time on the Asia Station. The ship sailed for home in June 1886 arriving back in the United States in September. Bartlett continued to serve in the Marine Corps taking a post at the Naval Academy in Annapolis Maryland in April 1887 in command of the Marine Corps Barracks there. He retired in 1898. He is buried at Arlington National Cemetery. Bartlett also compiled some 80pp. of notes and lists at the back of the journal including names of Americans he knew or met in Shanghai China Japan and Hong Kong lists of the "open ports" of Japan and China lists of officers aboard the Hartford the Contoocook the Sacramento plus the occasional recipe for curry or milk punch. hardcover books
