réf. 3029Yankee Stadium Bronx New York: np. first edition. card wrappers. Very Good. SIGNED BY BABE RUTH LOU GEHRIG CHARLIE GEHRINGER EARLE COMBS TONY LAZZERI JOE MCCARTHY LEFTY GOMEZ ET AL. Autograph book lovingly assembled by a young baseball fan in 1931 at Yankee Stadium with over 40 autographs of players including Ruth and Gehrig and eight other members of the Baseball Hall of Fame. ---------- Imagine being a kid in 1931 and you're a baseball fan. This was during the glory days of baseball when players were national heroes and big games were national news. You also happen to live in New York the center of the baseball universe with a heated rivalry between three local teams every year. If you were lucky enough to go to a few games perhaps you could get close to one of your heroes maybe even get an autograph. Young Seymour Kessler did much better than "get an autograph" - he carried a little booklet with him to games at Yankee Stadium in 1931 and collected over forty autographs of players including the biggest stars of the day - Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig - along with eight other Hall-of-Famers including Charlie Gehringer Lefty Gomez Earle Combs Tony Lazzeri and others. He carefully and lovingly curated his autograph collection pasting pictures from newspapers beneath the signatures whenever he could find them and writing in clean block letters the position and team of the player. He titled his booklet on the cover "Autographs of Baseball Players / Yankee Stadium / 1931 / Property of Seymour Kessler" and on the first page added with great care to make the writing neat: "An autograph collection of American League Baseball Players. The autographs were obtained during the 1931 season at the Yankee Stadium The Bronx New York. Property of Seymour Kessler. 1858 West 5th Street Brooklyn New York." It's a remarkable collection of names and autographs - a snapshot of many of the stars of the American League - and so lovingly curated by Kessler. He brings us right back to being a kid and a baseball fan sharing the magic of meeting your heroes. 1931 by the way wasn't all wonderful for young Seymour. The Yankees only finished in second place and it must have been challenging for him living in Brooklyn and being a Yankees fan although in 1931 the Brooklyn team was called "The Robins" only becoming the Dodgers in 1932. Kessler was able to find newspaper pictures of many of the players but not all of them. Generally if they were minor players or out-of-town players he had difficulty finding pictures. The booklet contains the autographs of: The Baseball Hall-of-Famers: -Babe Ruth -Lou Gehrig -Charlie Gehringer Tigers Hall-of-Fame Second Baseman -Earle Combs Yankees Hall-of-Fame centerfielder -Tony Lazzeri Yankees Hall-of Fame Second Baseman -Joe McCarthy Yankees Hall-of-Fame Manager -Vernon "Lefty" Gomez Yankees Hall-of-Fame Pitcher -Herb Pennock Yankees Hall-of-Fame Pitche r -Joe Sewell Yankees and Cleveland Hall-of Fame shortstop and third baseman famous for his ridiculously few times striking out -Charles "Red" Ruffing Yankees Hall-of-Fame pitcher as well as: -Ken Strong NFL Hall-of-Famer College Football Hall of Fame baseball minor leaguer -Lyn Lary Yankees Shortstop -Lou McEvoy Yankees Pitcher no picture signed on two pages -Luke Sewell Cleveland Catcher -Henry "Hank" Johnson Yankees Pitcher -George Pipgrass Yankees Pitcher -Arndt Jorgens Yankees Catcher -Jim Weaver Yankees Pitcher -Sam Byrd Yankees Outfielder -Gordon "Dusty" Rhodes Yankees Pitcher -Art Fletcher Yankees Coach and Former Shortstop -Lu Blue White Sox First Baseman -Billy Sullivan White Sox -Art Herring Tigers Pitcher -Bob Kline Red Sox Pitcher no picture -Earl Webb Red Sox Outfielder no picture -Hal Rhyne Red Sox Shortstop no picture -Joe Boley Athletics Shortstop no picture -Eddie Bennett Yankees Mascot picture and obituary -Ben Chapman Yankees Outfielder -Roy Sherid Yankees Pitcher no picture -Jimmie Reese Yankees Second Baseman no picture -Red Rolfe Yankees Infielder -Charlie Sullivan Tigers Pitcher no picture -Bob Fothergill Tigers Left Fielder no picture -Butch Henline White Sox Catcher no picture -Bennie Tate White Sox catcher no picture -John Kerr White Sox Second Baseman no picture -Roy Johnson Tigers Outfielder no picture -Lin Storti St. Louis Browns no picture -John Stone Tigers Outfielder no picture -Hank Garrity White Sox Catcher no picture -Bill Norman White Sox Outfielder no picture -Al Van Camp Red Sox Outfielder no picture -Tom Oliver Red Sox Outfielder no picture Size: approx. 3.5 x 5.75 inches closed.

Babe Ruth Lou Gehrig Hank Aaron Jimmie Foxx Al Simmons Connie Mack Lefty Grove and George Earnshaw collectively embody the pantheon of Major League Baseball legends whose careers span the sport’s formative decades and its evolution into a national institution. Each figure holds a distinct place in the game’s legacy: Ruth and Gehrig as the iconic heart of the New York Yankees’ dominance in the 1920s and 1930s; Aaron as the embodiment of consistent excellence and the breaking of Babe Ruth’s home run record; Foxx and Simmons as prolific sluggers of the Philadelphia Athletics’ golden years; Mack as the longest-serving and most storied manager in baseball history; and Grove and Earnshaw as dominant pitchers who shaped the Athletics’ championship success.

réf. 148412Indiana University School of Law/Bloomington: Indiana Law Journal 1993. Original Spring 1993 issue of the Indiana Law Journal containing Margaret G. Farrell's Revisiting Roe v. Wade. Octavo original wrappers Indiana Law Journal Volume 68 Number 2 Spring 1993. Inscribed by the author on the front wrapper "With good wishes great respect and admiration Margaret Farrell." The recipient Ruth Bader Ginsburg American lawyer and jurist served as an associate justice of the Supreme Court of the United States from 1993 until her death in 2020 and was responsible for some of the most eventful legal decisions of the past half-century. Nominated by President Bill Clinton in 1993 to replace retiring justice Byron White Ginsburg became the first Jewish woman and the second woman to serve on the Court after Sandra Day O’Connor. Ginsburg spent much of her legal career as an advocate for gender equality and women’s rights winning many arguments before the Supreme Court. During her tenure as associate justice of the Supreme Court Ginsburg received attention for her fiery and passionate dissents that reflected liberal views of the law. She was popularly dubbed “the Notorious R.B.G.” a moniker she later embraced. 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 fine condition. Housed in a custom half morocco clamshell box from the Harcourt Bindery. A unique piece of history. In her 1993 article Revisiting Roe v. Wade: Substance and Process in the Abortion Debate Margaret G. Farrell critically examines the Supreme Court’s reasoning in Roe v. Wade arguing that the decision's focus on substantive rights overshadowed essential procedural considerations. Farrell contends that by emphasizing a constitutional right to privacy the Court neglected the importance of democratic deliberation and the role of legislative processes in shaping abortion policy. She advocates for a jurisprudential approach that balances individual rights with procedural legitimacy suggesting that such a framework would better accommodate the complex ethical and social dimensions of the abortion debate.

Association copy inscribed by Bill Bader to Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the front free endpaper "March 2012. For Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg Whose courage and brilliance are rarely equaled and never surpassed. With best birthday wishes - Bill Bader." 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.

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.

Shapiro 1932–2023 was a distinguished Harvard Law School professor and a leading authority on federal courts and civil procedure widely regarded as an influential figure in modern federal courts jurisprudence. Over a career spanning several decades at Harvard Shapiro shaped scholarly and judicial understanding of jurisdiction judicial review and the institutional role of federal courts within the constitutional system. Ruth Bader Ginsburg remembered him in his Harvard Law Review In Memoriam issue "Among members of the legal academy David L. Shapiro impressed me as the very best the most devoted to his teaching and writing the least self-regarding. He was ever mindful of the importance of facts and of the law's impact on the people law exists or should exist to serve. And I will miss our correspondence about the Court's jurisprudence his applause for some of our decisions his worries about others. But I count it my good fortune to have known David L. Shapiro a man as kind and caring as he was brilliant." Indiana Law Journal unknown

1871réf. 140939518Hartford CT: Case Lockwood & Brainard Printers 1871. First Edition. Fine. 4 pp. Self-wrappers. First edition. Fine. An announcement by famous feminist Susan B. Anthony and five other suffragettes of the formation of a National Woman Suffrage and Educational Committee and their intent to pursue recognition of voting rights for women under the 14th and 15th amendments. These were recent amendments around three and one years old respectively but this salvo relies on them heavily as well as on a taxation-without-representation argument harking back to the origins of the republic. In 1875 the Supreme Court would close the door on this line of thinking and suffragettes would have to change strategies but this leaflet proceeds all that; it's still heady with fresh ideas and a brand new organization appealing for funds and women's names for a pledge book compiled by the NWSEC Secretary. A rare document of a brief glimmer of optimism in what would be a long hard slog-- the struggle for equal rights-- in excellent condition. Case, Lockwood & Brainard, Printers unknown
