1872Best.-Nr. 361607Tallahassee FL: Charles H. Walton State Printer 1872. First Edition. Hardcover. Very good. A considerable portion of this year's session was consumed by the impeachment of the Republican governor Harrison Reed led by members of his own party. He was accused of fraud connected to the issuance of railroad bonds.

This was the second of two impeachments that Reed survived during his contentious four-year term as Florida's first Reconstruction governor. This legislative session was "Begun and held in the capitol in the city of Tallahassee on Tuesday January 2 1872" and concluded on February 17 1872. 350 journal 76 reports pages. Contents generally very good and clean. Title page self wrapper spotted and stained. Finely bound in three-quarter's leather and marbled paper-covered boards. The spine has raised bands and is stamped in gilt. A truly lovely period-style binding. Charles H. Walton, State Printer hardcover
