THE BATTLE WITH THE SLUM

1902réf. 021995New York: The Macmillan Company 1902. First Edition. Hardcover. Minor wear to covers. Near Fine. Second Printing in publisher's original decorated blue cloth. Illustrated. This copy is SIGNED "with the best wishes of/Theodore Roosevelt/Dec 1906." Jacob Riis a significant contributor to the cause of urban reform in the United States of America at the turn of the twentieth century was among the most dedicated advocates for America's oppressed and downtrodden. He arrived in New York from his native Denmark at the age of 21 in 1870. A pioneer in photojournalism Riis photographed and wrote about the slums and tenements of a New York in the dawn of a new century. Riis came to Roosevelt's attention through his 1890 book HOW THE OTHER HALF LIVES. As Commissioner of the New York City Police Department Roosevelt accompanied Riis on his evening travels through the slums and witnessed firsthand the inhumane conditions endured by many of New York's inhabitants. In his 1901 book MAKING OF AN AMERICAN Riis wrote of Roosevelt: "It could not have been long after I wrote HOW THE OTHER HALF LIVES that he came to the Evening Sun office one day looking for me. I was out and he left his card merely writing on the back of it that he had read my book and had 'come to help.' That was all and it tells the whole story of the man. I loved him from the day I first saw him; nor ever in all the years that have passed has he failed of the promise made then. No one ever helped as he did. For two years we were brothers on Mulberry Street." Roosevelt in turn wrote of Riis after his death: "It is difficult for me to write of Jacob Riis only from the public standpoint. He was one of my truest and closest friends. I have ever prized the fact that once in speaking of me he said 'since I met him he has been my brother.' I have not only admired and respected him beyond measure but I have loved him dearly . and I mourn him as if he were one of my own family." The Macmillan Company hardcover

THEODORE ROOSEVELT THE CITIZEN

1904réf. 014375New York: The Outlook Company 1904. First Edition. Hardcover. Hinges cracked and neatly repaired. Still Near Fine. Second Printing in publisher's original decorated cloth. Illustrated with plates. This copy virtually unique as it is INSCRIBED and SIGNED by both the author and the subject as President. Riis's inscription is dated 5 August 1908. Roosevelt writes: "with the best wishes of/Theodore Roosevelt/The White House/Jan. 18th 1909." The addition of "The White House" by Roosevelt is notable as prior to his administration the residence was known as the "President's Palace" the "President's House" and the "Executive Mansion." It was Roosevelt who officially named it "The White House" in 1901. Of the many books signed by Roosevelt we have both handled and seen we have never before encountered one in which he has noted his official residence along with his signature.

A System of Theology. Composed while a member of the Theological Seminary Andover Mass. under the instruction of Professor Woods. 1817-1820

réf. 10878vo. 200 x 180 mm. 8 x 6 ¾ inches. 302 pp. Manuscript text in neat hand. Bound in half-leather and marbled boards gilt rules on spine. Some rubbing to spine ends a later ownership name stamp on front pastedown. Manuscript lecture notes from Prof. Leonard Woods' class in theology taught at the Seminary in Andover. The student introduces the lectures in the first two pages: "West Chester Society Colchester Conn. -- In view of an examination preparatory to my ordination I presented to the Council the following confession of faith." He follows this information with a nine page table of contents for the lectures which begins with "On the inspiration of the Scriptures." In clear prose he recounts what he was taught by Prof. Woods while he was a student at Andover for those several years. Although unsigned these lecture notes most likely belong to Jacob Scales 1788-1873. Scales was born in Freeport Maine graduated from Dartmouth in 1817 and went on to Andover Theological Seminary finishing his degree there in 1820. In December of that year he was ordained pastor of the Congregational Church at Colchester Connecticut. In 1827 Scales became a pastor in Henniker NH; then Cornwall Vermont in 1839. Here he ran afoul of the local anti-slavery society according to Lyman Matthews' "History of the Town of Cornwall Vermont" Cornwall VT: 1862 pp. 182-6. A remonstrance by ten members of the church felt strongly he should not be installed. An ecclesiastical council was convened: "The remonstrants acknowledge that upon the subject of slavery Mr. Scales in sentiment is correct; but they allege that as a practical abolitionist he does not come up to the standard of the American Anti-Slavery Society. Of this however no proof was adduced. This Council can recognize no other standard than the Word of God." and therefore the church proceeded to install him. His tenure was not always smooth and he was dismissed in 1842. He became an acting pastor at Plainfield from 1842-1861. see his brief biography in the New England Historical and Genealogical Register v. 66 p. 50 Scales published several sermons and other works in his lifetime and Dartmouth College has a collection of his papers. Leonard Woods 1774-1854 was a professor of theology at Andover from 1808 until his retirement in 1846. He was a member of the Congregational Church and an orthodox Calvinist. He continued to write and prepare his works for publication. A five volume set of his lectures sermons letters and essays was published in Andover between 1849-1851. see: McClintock and Strong Biblical Cyclopedia Harper & Bros.: 1880 for more information on Woods. .
