Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Edition. Political Miscellanies, compiled by William B. Giles Copyright page dated 54th year of Independence (1830) A collection of 56 speeches, letters, and pieces of legislation, most of them written or spoken by William Giles. There is no proper title page, nor does it appear that there ever was one. Copyright information appears on the back of a title but there is no publication information on the title page. Several of the individual pieces have their own title pages. The first collected piece,"Mr. Clay's Speesh upon the Tariff Mr. Giles Speech upon the Resolutions of Inquiry in the House of Delegates of Virginia" has a Richmond; Thomas W. White; 1827 title page. There is a table of contents, but pagination is all over the place. The first half of the collection is numbered properly, to page 188. Then most of the rest of the pieces are paginated individually. There are more than 500 pages in all. Contains several pieces of argument with Mr. Adams over the Embargo Act & a letter to Gen. Lafayette on slavery, in addition to much more relating more locally to Virginia. Bound in full leather which has been professionally rebacked. New leather on the spine is a perfect match for original, with original title label laid down. Hinged reinforces on the inside. This is a flawless repair; I am a binder myself & I'm much impressed by this. Inscribed on the 'title' page, "Presented to Doctor Lewis W. Chamberlayne by his friend Wm. B. Giles." At the bottom of the same page is another inscription, "Presented to Churchill Gibson Chamberlayne by John Stephenson. Warm Springs, VA. Sept 9/89." On the front endpaper are 2 more inscriptions. "Lewis W. Chamberlaybe. Richmond, Virginia," and "Churchill Gibson Chamberlayne, Richmond, VA." Done two generations apart. William B. Giles was a prominent Virginia statesman; He served as Governor, Senator, and member of the House of Delegates during the first quarter of the nineteenth century. Lewis Chamberlayne was a Richmond doctor. Churchill Gibson Chamberlayne was his grandson, a prominent writer and educator. John Stephenson (middle initial unclear in the inscription) is likely the son of John W. Stephenson, a Richmond native who traveled west, eventually becoming Governor of Kentucky. Gov. Stephenson died in 1888, but he had a son named John W., who may well have known the Chamberlayne family. Please email with questions or to request photos. Signed by Author(s).…
