Condition: Good. Printed document on parchment, details filled in by hand in ink, sealed 23x29,5 cm. This fascinating document brings together two great antagonists of antebellum U.S. politics on one vellum sheet. Samuel Gridley Howe was a New England medical doctor, politician and philanthropist, who in his Byronesque youth had joined the Greek independence fight and founded the Perkins School for the Blind in Watertown after his return. During the "Bleeding Kansas" conflicts of the 1850s, he was an important actor in the attempts of New England abolitionists to bring settlers opposed to slavery to Kansas, in order to tip the balance of states towards abolition. Most famously, he was one of the "secret six" who financed John Brown's attempts to stir a slave rebellion. After the ill-fated attempt at Harper's Ferry, which led to John Brown's arrest and hanging, he left the US for Canada for a few weeks so that he could not be forced to appear in a Southern court as a witness. Later, he became a member of the Freedmen's Inquiry Commission. His wife, Julia Ward Howe, who also knew Brown, wrote the Battle Hymn of the Republic based on the soldier's song "John Brown's Body". In his "Letters and Journals" (Vol. 2, page 433), their daughter mentions that Howe considered relocating to Kansas in the late 1850s, but writes: "I doubt that my father ever thought seriously about moving to Kansas; but he bought several parcels of land there, and maintained to the end of his life a keen interest in all the affairs of the Territory." This particular purchase of land came one year before Brown's raid at Harper's Ferry. It is for "a tract of land" of 150 acres in Ozawkie, originally purchased in 1854 by David M. Martin of Atchison County, Kansas Territory, from "the Delaware Tribe of Indians". The deed was signed by Secretary Albright for James Buchanan, the pro-slavery President whose political enemy Howe remained. A fascinating antebellum document linking two major protagonists of both sides of the leadup to the civil war. In worn condition: vertical creases probably due to rolling, ink faded, but legible apart from the signature of the Recorder of the General Land Office. Signed by Author(s).

Condition: Fine. - Over 70 words penned on 10 inch high by 8 inch wide embossed Satis paper. Writing as Secretary of State with the annotation "Private" at the head of the letter James Buchanan responds to Secretary of the Navy John Y. Mason regarding the case of Midshipman James B. Yates who has been neglecting his studies despite frequent admonishment and light discipline. "I have not one word to say in his defence nor any request to make. I would merely suggest, that should you determine to dismiss him, you would suffer him to remain until I could write his father, Dr. Yates, so that he might come on & take him home, if he thought proper." Signed in full "James Buchanan". Folded vertically and horizontally for mailing, else near fine. Prior to being elected as President of the United States, James Buchanan (1791-1868) had served as a U.S. Congressman, U.S. Senator, and minister to Russia, subsequently being appointed as President James K. Polk's Secretary of State. As president, Buchanan supported the South and Pro-Slavery positions, intervening to assure that the Supreme Court would rule in favor of slavery in the Dred Scott v. Sandford case. He also supported Southern attempts to have the Kansas Territory's entry into the Union as a Slave State. Buchanan, the only U.S. President to remain a bachelor, had a close relationship with William Rufus De Vane King, sparking many speculations in later days.An attorney, judge and politician from Virginia, John Young Mason (1799-1859) served as a U.S. Congressman and subsequently as a United States District Judge for the Eastern District of Virginia. He served as Secretary of the Navy from 1846 to 1849, and subsequently as Attorney General of the United States and then as U.S. Minister to France.The young Midshipman James B. Yates, failed to respond to subtle pressures from George P. Upshur, the superintendent of the U.S. Naval Academy, who had determined that the young Midshipman had been neglecting his studies and failed to turn up for half a dozen recitations claiming he was unprepared. Events came to a head when Yates left the navy yard without permission on January 24th, 1848, and disappeared for the day only to clandestinely return late that night. Upshur suspended him from everything but his academic classes and informed the Secretary of the Navy, reporting that sadly Yates was "learning nothing, literally nothing valuable at this School" and expected him to fail. Upshur considered him "altogether unfit for the navy.".

Letter. Two-page AUTOGRAPH LETTER SIGNED "James Buchanan" on the recto and verso of the first leaf of a single folded sheet (7-3/4" x 9-5/8") to John Y. Mason, former Secretary of the Navy under President Polk, regarding the aging Dolley Madison (who would die about 2 weeks after this letter was written), plans for a visit, Pennsylvania politics, and possible investments in Virginia state bonds. Housed in a brown morocco-backed green cloth clamshell box (10-1/2" x 13"). Toward the end of her life, Dolley Madison (20 May 1768-12 July 1849), widow of the 4th president of the United States, lived in abject poverty. In 1849, Congress appropriated $20,000 toward the purchase of her husband's papers, and in her will, she appointed Buchanan, Mason, and Richard Smith as trustees. In this letter Buchanan, having recently served as Secretary of State under Polk writes to his fellow trustee. In part: "I returned from Washington last night, having done the best I could for Mrs. Madison. I found it difficult to persuade her that she ought not to have the whole premium placed in her hands at once, in which event it would have been of little or not service to her. The old lady has greatly changed since I saw her last. She is now very feeble. It is my purpose, God willing, to pass the next winter at New Orleans. It would do your heart good to see Walker. He is as plump as a partridge & as lively as a lark. He has already got 21 cases in the Supreme Court. Should a judicious selection be made of a Candidate for Canal Commissioner at Pittsburg on the 4th proximo, which I have no reason to doubt, we shall redeem this State, in handsome style in October; but the day has passed in Penn[sylvania] when a Democratic nomination is equivalent to an election. The popular will must now be consulted in the selection of Candidates: & this being done, we have as large a Democratic majority as ever." Interesting content with a typed transcript of the letter incorporated into a certificate of authenticity. Creasing from mailing. Near Fine in a Near Fine clamshell box.

Unique 19th-century autograph album containing the signatures of six American presidents, fifteen senators, several cabinet members, and governors including Abraham Lincoln, Ulysses S. Grant, James Buchanan, and Franklin Pierce. Narrow quarto, bound in one quarter period dark brown cloth over stiff marbled wrappers, the autograph album is a repurposed 19th-century caucus record, dating from ca. 1870. The caucus book is alphabetically tab-indexed and filled out in ink, voters are tracked by their name with caucus results appearing in the back. Although this is labeled âWard 5â in the first page, the term "Ward" was flexible in its usage. This could have been for a Ward election, precinct caucus, legislative, congressional, or state convention caucus. The autographs are mounted over the caucus records in their respective alphabetical tab. Also mounted at front are 6 printed pieces of 19th-century ephemera. The autograph album was assembled between 1877 and 1880 and can be dated by a contemporary pencil note that John Sherman had transitioned from the Senate to be Secretary of the Treasury. From the collection of a Mr. Boyd, a 19th-century Ward politician in the upper Midwest, Minnesota or Wisconsin. The Presidential autographs are primarily clipped from Presidential appointments, and include: Abraham Lincoln, James Buchanan, Ulysses S. Grant, Andrew Johnson, Franklin Pierce and Rutherford B. Hayes. In very good condition. A very rare and unique collection.      .

First editions of each of volume that comprise the collected works of Nobel Prize-winning economist James M. Buchanan's papers. Octavo, original half cloth, 20 volumes. Eighteen of the twenty volumes are association copies warmly inscribed in the year of publication by James Buchanan to his assistant of 46 years, Betty H. Tillman, the second person Buchanan phoned on October 16, 1986 (after his wife, Ann) when he learned he had been awarded the Nobel Prize in Economics (see Buchanan, 'Notes on Nobelity,' in Better than Plowing: And Other Personal Essays, University of Chicago Press 1992). Only Volumes 11 and 20 are unsigned. Each are in very good to near fine condition; dust jackets were not issued for these volumes.   James M. Buchanan is responsible for the rebirth of political economics as a scholarly pursuit (Boettke, 1998). Buchanan has done more than most to introduce ethics, legal, political, and social thinking into economics. Consequently, he maintains that public policy cannot be considered in terms of distribution, but instead should question rules that engender a pattern of exchange and distribution (Swedberg, 1990). Buchanan distinguishes between politics and policy. Politics is about the rules of the game, while policy is focused on strategies that players adopt within a given set of rules. The Economic Journal noted in 2006 that "Questions about what are good rules of the game are in the domain of social philosophy, whereas questions about the strategies that players will adopt given those rules is the domain of economics, and it is the play between the rules (social philosophy) and the strategies (economics) that constitutes what Buchanan refers to as constitutional political economy.".
