1860ref. 9034New York: Lith. of W. Faust 105 Nassau St 1860. Broadside wine list 25.5 x 15.5 cm. 1 page. Porcelain card decorated in chromolithograph with text in blue and red. A very early wine list from an important New York hotel and dining establishment. The hotel was at the corner of Broadway and Eleventh Street across from Grace Church and Rectory. Both the hotel and the church were designed by the architect James Renwick Jr. Named for its original owner Denis Julien the St. Denis Hotel opened in 1853 just in time for the Crystal Palace Exhibition. The building was leased to William Taylor in 1875 who incorporated the Taylor Saloon into the facility. The list features Clarets from Finke Merman of Bordeaux mostly from 1847 and 1848. And French whites including 1847 Latour Blanche and 1847 d'Yquem. Champagne Sherries and Madeiras are also included. A solid piece of printing from a firm more known for fruit labels. Verso contains an unattributed primitive pencil drawing of a horse. Some darkening to the top edge of the recto. Lith. of W. Faust, 105 Nassau St unknown
1789ref. List3854Kings County Province of New York Brooklyn 1789. Three manuscript documents on two pages measuring approximately 8 ¼ x 13 inches; relating to county taxation and court administration in Kings County including two early colonial warrants directed to the assessors and collector of "Brookland"; i.e. Brooklyn. Extensively repaired with archival tape with damage especially to right margin and at folds intersecting with text. Fair. Two colonial-era Kings County tax warrants issued in the twenty-first year of the reign of George II commanding the assessors and collector of Brookland to raise the town's share of the county rate. Addressed "To the assessors & Collector of Brookland" the documents open in formal warrant language: "Kings County. To the assessors & Collector of Brookland These We hereunder written being Supervisors for the Respective towns of the County abovesaid in the Province of New York; To the Assessors and Collector of Brookland Greeting in his Majesty's name you and each of you are hereby . strictly required and commanded ." One warrant directs the local officers "to assess collect and gather of and from every shop scholar inhabitants & resident neighbors within your town and precincts thereof their equal part share & proportion" of the town's tax burden specified as "the full and just sum of twenty six pounds & four pence Current Money of New York." The money was to be paid to "Mr. Peter Lefferts Treasurer for the County aforesaid" by the appointed February deadline. The second 1747 document directs the local officers to collect "Tax on Estates real and Personal for the More Effectuall fortifying of this Colony &c." to the tune of thirteen thousand pounds. The language is especially useful for showing the practical mechanics of colonial local government: the county supervisors apportioning the tax the town assessors and collector gathering it from inhabitants and the county treasurer receiving it. It further gives the collector authority in the event of nonpayment: "if any person or persons shall long refuse or neglect to pay their parts shares or proportions of the said sum of twenty six pounds and four pence being assessed as abovesaid it shall and may be lawful to and for you to levy illegible due to fold split and crease on the goods & chattels of the defaulters having regard to the laws of this Colony ." The document closes in the usual form "hereof you are not to fail" adding that the warrant is given "under our hands & seals this Sixth day of paper loss in the twenty first year of his Majesty's Reign Anno Dom'i 1747." Both are signed by Kings County supervisors S. Gerritsen Isaac Sebring John Verkerk Marten Schenck and Leffert Lefferts with one signature illegible. Lefferts of the prominent Lefferts family co-founded and served as the first president of the Long Island Bank Brooklyn's first bank and was the first judge of Kings County. On the verso of the first colonial-era warrant is a later Kings County account 1789-90 submitted to Sheriff Charles Turnbull a Revolutionary War veteran who took office as Brooklyn's High Sheriff in 1789. The account records ordinary county legal expenses including: "April 20 / To Summoning Grand Jury - £1-4 - To Making a List of Freeholders 1-10 - Sept. 4 To Summoning Grand Jury of Supreme Court 1-4 - . Term To Cash paid for Candles &c. 0-5 - 1790 To Summoning Grand Jury 1-4 - fall term / To Summoning Grand Jury 1-4 - £6-11" Taken together the two documents offer an appealing Kings County grouping: two colonial Brookland tax warrants and an early Federal sheriff's account. The 1747 warrants are the stronger piece particularly for the direct address to the town's assessors and collector county tax language and reference to Peter Lefferts as county treasurer. The later sheriff's account is less dramatic but it pairs naturally as another Kings County administrative document this time showing court-related duties such as summoning grand juries and preparing a list of freeholders. . unknown books
ref. 70600An archive of photographs ledgers canceled checks legal documents and other business and personal records from a Stillwater New York family who feuded over the disposition of a lumber and coal business at the turn of the last century. The troubles began following the death in 1898 of Stephen Wood Sr. the owner of Stephen Woods Sons Lumber and Coal in Stillwater New York. The business continued on under the direction of his two sons Stephen and Edward who were named executors of the estate. Two daughters were not included in the settlement. The sons cared for their widower mother Temmy but there was no formal settlement of the estate. When Edward who took care of the books died in 1908 matters became complicated and the family found itself in court because Edward's wife Louise C. Wood asked for a settlement of his portion of the estate. Temmy then sued saying she was owed a third of the estate which was also indebted to her for $6000 in personal loans. This legal dispute went on for several years during which Stephen Jr. died on February 14 1911 followed not long after by his mother Temmy who died in 1912. After Stephen Jr.'s death the remaining heirs settled the dispute with Louise paying her $1500. When Temmy died her estate was left to her granddaughters who signed their inheritance rights over to their mother. Among the court documents is a final settlement of the estate legal fees which were paid in 1917. In a typed letter dated November 8 1911 Emma Wood the daughter of Temmy Wood expressed the concern and frustrations she and her sister Kate felt over the legal troubles. "I understood Kate to say this morning that she does not want to have anything to do with it but that whatever you decide upon will be her decision also. I am in too nervous a state to discuss matters verbally with you so think best to write what I feel the honest thing to be done." Much of the material in this collection appears to be related to the request to settle the estate and therefore provides a detailed overview of the operations of the business along with the family's personal holdings and business dealings. Among the materials included are a handwritten bills ledger receipts legal documents family wills household notebooks and a photographic album. unknown

1863ref. 42038New York Printed by Thalmessinger & Cahn 1863. Hardback. 2nd Revised Edition edited revised and corrected by S. Adler 1st printing thus. Original gilt tooled leather 8vo 396 pages. In Hebrew and English on facing pages. Formerly Singerman 1780 now merged into Singerman 1667 as vol II variant 1 Thalmessinger & Cahn. The second of two volumes vol. 1 Daily prayers & vol. 2. Prayers for the Day of Atonement this volume substantially reworked by Adler and published 1860 vol. I and 1863 vol. 2 here. Together these comprise the First Edition of Samuel Adler's revised edition of Leo Merzbacher's 1855 Prayer-Book. Despite the modest title-page Adler's production here was not merely a revision but rather an entire reworking with additions and alterations to the liturgy. Rabbi Leo Merzbacher's original version of the prayers was quite traditional. "As resourceful and accomplished a liturgist as Merzbacher proved to be he seldom sought to .willfully turn aside from the traditional cannon" Friedland p. 36. Samuel Adler on the other hand Merzbacher's successor at Temple Emanu-El of New York had no such reservations about adopting radical change to the structure of the prayer-book. In his version of the "Order of Prayer" Adler did not rely on sources in Jewish tradition rather he changed the prayers according to his subjective views of how synagogue services should be conducted. See Eric Lewis Friedland Brandeis University dissertation The Historical and Theological Development of the non-Orthodox Prayerbooks in the United States 1967. Indeed it was precisely this 1860-1863 version of the "Order of Prayer" that was adopted by Temple Emanuel in New York and all subsequent issues of the "Order of Prayer" utilized this version containing Samuel Adler's revisions. The Union Prayerbook itself was largely based on Adler's 1860-1863 revisions here. Consequently this prayer-book was also the cause of much controversy. Orthodox Rabbi Bernard Illowy of St. Louis fumed that whomsoever utilized this "so-called" prayer-book was to be "entirely excluded from all religious communion" see Michael A. Meyer Response to Modernity: A History of the Reform Movement 1995 p. 237. Leo Merzbacher 1809-1856 received his Rabbinic ordination from the celebrated Rabbi Moses Sofer of Pressburg the "Chasam Sofer" the leading opponent of the Reform movement. Merzbacher immigrated to America in the 1840's "and was the first Reform rabbi in the country. After serving at Anshe Chesed and Rodeph Sholom in New York Merzbacher became the rabbi of Emanu-El the first Reform temple in the city.The 1855 edition of This prayer book was the first Reform edition issued in America for general use" Goldman. Merzbacher adopted changes in synagogue custom such as the prominent use of an organ and eradicating the observance of the second day of festivals. Samuel Adler 1809-1891 replaced Merzbacher in Temple Emanuel in 1857 following the latter's death where he served until 1891. Adler's son Felix was the founder of the Ethical Culture movement.
