No Binding. Condition: Very Good. Original publisher's beige paper pamphlet. Formerly bound with string (pages now loose). 5 3/4" x 9." Eight pages, complete. Small holes near spine were likely for binding. Pages are clean and intact overall but have foxing and dampstains throughout. A Very Good copy. This pamphlet contains a transcription of a speech that was originally given by William E. Dodge (1805-1883), an American entrepreneur and politician. He served as a United States Representative from New York from 1866-1867 and was a member of the Republican Party. In his speech, Dodge discusses a bill, HR 543, which would restore the full political rights of the former Confederate states with certain stipulations. Dodge clearly says he will not support this bill because it includes terms, by his reasoning, that would "degrade" the white population of the South while the "colored men are elevated above them." Dodge acknowledges that he is in the minority of his party in that he does not support the bill. Dodge adamantly states he does not apologize for the cruelty, violence, and murders of African Americans in the South following the American Civil War, but his perspective centers upon the idea that HR 543 would bring about too much of a social, cultural, and political change in the South that would ironically endanger the lives and livelihoods of African Americans further, according to him. Dodge references a "civil rights bill" (possibly the Civil Rights Act of 1866) and other Reconstruction-era legislation protecting the lives, well-being, and civil rights of African Americans, such as their right to vote. Dodge clearly states he wants these rights to be secured for African Americans and is disappointed that the implementation of progressive legislation intended to help African Americans has miserably failed in the South. However, he returns to his stance against the bill. Among his criticisms is his concern that martial law would be enacted in the South via HR 543. Dodge is of the opinion that HR 543 is too progressive and harsh against the South. His overall stance is that he wants relatively more moderate legislation that does not further provoke the South and eases tensions between the North and South. Also included in Dodge's speech are brief references to the impeachments efforts in Congress against President Andrew Johnson, replies to interjections by other House members, and references to the Freedmen's Bureau.

Soft cover. Condition: Good. Original publisher's beige paper pamphlet. Text printed in black ink. "Addresses in Memory of Cornelius Vanderbilt" printed on front cover. 6" x 9 1/4." Twenty-two pages, complete. Pages are very clean and intact except for light age toning, slight bumping to upper corners of fore-edge, and a small bit of discoloration in center of booklet along the gutter from the string binding. Covers are clean and intact overall, but the outer part of string binding has snapped and there is splitting along spine, chipping along edges, and offsetting and darkening on front and back. A Good copy. This is a collection of addresses that were given on the occasion of the passing of Cornelius "Corneil" Vanderbilt II (1843-1899), one of the grandsons of Cornelius "Commodore" Vanderbilt (1794-1877). Cornelius II was the chairman and president of the New York Central Railroad. The addresses were originally given at his memorial service that was held at the Railroad Men's Building in the New York on October 8, 1899. The addresses are titled as follows: "Mr. Vanderbilt as a Man" by Chauncey M. Depew, "Mr. Vanderbilt as Churchman" by David H. Greer, "Mr. Vanderbilt as a Friend of Education" by Seth Low, and "Mr. Vanderbilt as a Friend of Young Men" by William E. Dodge. Chauncey M. Depew, a politician and businessman, commends several personal qualities of Cornelius II including his conscientiousness, courage and forwardness in tackling problems, philanthropy, genuine interest in others (regardless of social status), and sympathy. Depew also highlights Cornelius II's involvement with the Young Men's Christian Association (YMCA). Reverend David H. Greer (1844-1919) says Cornelius II was very much a Christian man. He highlights Cornelius II's faith and generosity in helping Greer's church. Greer also commends Cornelius II for taking the time to meet with people and not backing out of obligations. Seth Low (1850-1916) was an American politician and educator who served as a New York mayor and president of Columbia University. Low praises Cornelius II for his involvement in educational institutions including being a director of a number of local museums and for his generosity in giving money to and working on projects for Columbia University. Low says that Cornelius II was exceptional in having as much enthusiasm for others' projects as he would for his own. William E. Dodge (1832-1903) highlights Cornelius II's Christian living and helping the YMCA. He specifically commends him for his work in helping working railroad men through the YMCA. Dodge returns to Depew's defense of Cornelius II's wealth and, like Depew, says that Cornelius II was indeed generous with his money but was also decisive in terms of how he handled it. He says Cornelius II was a man of wealth but made sure to give a fair share back to community. Dodge also says Cornelius II was selfless man whose Christian faith and beliefs were guiding principles as to how he would help the local community.
