In den WarenkorbDocuments from the Settlement of a New Hampshire Estate [Manuscript Archive]. [New Hampshire]. [Wallace Family]. [Deeds, Receipts, Estate Inventories and Other Legal Documents]. Londonderry, NH, 1766, 1782-1801. 17 documents, 7 are 12" x 7-1/2" (30.5 x 19 cm) bifolia and single sheets, 1 is a 15" x 12" (38 x 30.5 cm) sheet, othe…rs range in size from 7" x 7-1/2" to 2" x 7-1/2" (17.8 x 19; 5.1 x 19 cm). Moderate browning, somewhat lighter in places, foxing, some leaves have dampstaining, creases, tears along fold lines, a few small chips (with no loss to legibility), 2 items mended with cellotape on versos. $500. * A cohesive manuscript archive documenting the administration and protracted settlement of the estate of Thomas Wallace, a prosperous agrarian landowner of Londonderry, New Hampshire. The core of the collection centers on the immediate aftermath of Wallace's death in May 1790, comprising detailed estate inventories and contemporary sales receipts that minutely record the domestic economy and property values of a wealthy late-18th-century New England farmer. The remainder of the archive consists of financial claims and receipts for payments levied against the estate, tracing its administration through its final dissolution in 1801. The earliest document-a 1766 lease-survives here as an essential piece of evidentiary title or a persistent liability presented during the probate process. Collectively, these documents offer rich primary source material for the study of post-Revolutionary economic life, material culture, and early American probate law in northern New England.

In den WarenkorbPeace Cannot be Secured by Force [Manuscript Archive]. Bower, Sir Graham John [1848-1933]. [Two Pre-Publication Manuscript Copies of "Treaties of Peace," Read Before the Grotius Society]. [London, c.1917]. 31, 10 ff. on 10" x 8" (25.4 x 20.3 cm) loose-leaf ruled sheets; 29 ff. in 10" x 8" (25.4 x 20.3 cm) ruled "Empire" notebook…. Text to rectos in ink in two hands, running parallel to spine in notebook. Moderate toning to loose-leaf sheets, which are secured by contemporary rusted paper clip, light edgewear and chipping to bottom-edge of a few leaves, several folded corners. Moderate toning to printed cover of notebook, which is loosening, light toning to interior, cracks to text block in a few places. Together two items. $650. * Bower, an Irish-born colonial official, served as Imperial Secretary to the High Commissioners for South Africa from 1884-1897 and then as Colonial Secretary of Mauritius until 1910. He was a founding member of the Grotius Society, a British group dedicated to the study of international law. "Treaties of Peace" was read before the Society on February 6, 1917 and appeared in print later that year. The speech discusses the history of notable peace treaties, including the Treaty of Utrecht, the Congress of Vienna, the Treaty of Ghent and the Treaty of Paris at the end of the Crimean War. Bower concludes that he is "unconvinced" of any proposal "to secure peace by an International Force" given the necessity of consolidating the authority to direct the force in the hands of "an Imperial head of a Confederated Empire." Bower was a noted skeptic of bureaucratic power to enforce international agreements, even forcefully opposing the creation of an international penal court for the trial of war crimes. Our manuscript copies differ from the printed version in several ways. The manuscript copy begins by mentioning the work of Dr. Coleman Phillipson by name, while the published version simply refers to "jurists." The published copy is much more strident in its claim that treaties and arbitration do not guarantee peace and adds several concluding paragraphs. There are several other discrepancies that suggest the speech was revised somewhat significantly before it appeared in print.

In den WarenkorbVaries. Thirty hand drawn political cartoons on different stocks of paper. Some have close margins. Some have wormholes or loss. A handful have margin tears. Size 18 x 14 Inches. A collection of 30 manuscript political cartoons, many with cartographic content, drawn by Frank 'Ket' Kettlewell for the Oakland Tribune . As a group,… they constitute a unique comic record of world events c. 1916 - 1935. Each hand-drawn cartoon is a visually striking San Francisco-centric commentary on domestic or international affairs. 'Ket' has signed each, with many most featuring his signature tiny bird (which occasionally comments). Themes and Events The earliest cartoons in the archive date to World War I (1914 - 1918). A handful discuss the U-boat threat. In one, a sea serpent labeled 'U-Boat' is composed entirely of submarines. Other cartoons deal with World War I and its aftermath. Still others focus on the Atlantic convoys, 'dislodging' the war in Belgium, the need for a west coast naval base, and the chaos in postwar Russia and Germany. 1920s themes include remembrances of WWI, domestic politics, and local Bay Area concerns, etc. Finally, six cartoons relate to the tense international situation in the 1930s, the Second Sino-Japanese War, and German President Paul von Hindenburg's (1847 - 1934) ongoing problems with the Nazi Party. Publication History and Census Each cartoon represents a unique work of art by Frank Kettlewell. Most were subsequently published in Oakland Tribune . Individual examples of Kettlewell's work appear on the market occasionally, but rarely large archives, as here. Signed by Author(s).

In den WarenkorbLetters Tracing the Courtship and Early Marriage of a Notable New Jersey Judge [Manuscript Archive]. Hartshorne, Ellen Fritz [1895-1988]. Hartshorne, Richard [1888-1975]. [Correspondence of Judge Richard Hartshorne and His Wife, Ellen Fritz (Nee Sahlin) Hartshorne. America, Early 1900s]. Approximately 550 letters, 1,150 manuscri…pt pages in ink, 200 pages in pencil, most in original envelopes. Moderate toning, occasional creases, edgewear and minor chips and tears, overall condition very good. $1,250. * Researchers interested in social rituals and letter-writing customs of America in the early 20th century will be engrossed by this archive. Richard Hartshorne and Ellen Sahlin's courtship and early years of marriage and parenthood coincided with the U.S. entry into World War I, the 1920s and the financial disaster of 1929. A graduate of Wellesley College, Sahlin worked as an interior designer for a firm in New York City. Hartshorne, a graduate of Princeton and Columbia Law School, enlisted in the Navy and was stationed on the Eastern seaboard during the war. After his tour of service, he advanced professionally in various legal firms and was a judge of the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey from 1951 to 1961 and a senior judge of that court from 1961 to the end of his life. Both came from renowned families. The Hartshornes were among the earliest settlers in New Jersey. Known for their probity, several Hartshornes served in judicial and legislative posts. Ellen's father, uncle and brother played important roles in the steel industry in the United States and India. Although they were strong-willed, well-educated, career-oriented individuals from pedigreed families, they still faced their share of challenges. For example, Hartshorne, while a naval ensign, had issues with senior officers. Sahlin mentioned her struggles with difficult clients. Several letters from Hartshorne and Sahlin include whimsical drawings. If there is a lesson in this archive, it is related to the importance of having an extensive circle of family and friends to draw upon during difficult times. As the family expanded, and the household fractured to accommodate Hartshorne's work obligations, the couple received vital information and advice from others, especially from Ellen's "devoted brother," Bob. This support was importa.
