Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is the first in a series of planned volumes devoted to officers of the two services, Army and Navy. Its pages contain professional science, technical advancements, and discussion of various matters connected with their professional duties. The author, drawing from many sources, provides a wealth of information. An examination of the survey of the coast under the laws of 1807-8, along with observations on the militia of the United States, are presented by the author with a view toward fostering serious reflection on the state of our country. The author is a believer in almost omnipotent power of education, but insists that it should be borne in mind that either of these qualities, according to their interpretation, or the direction given to them, may be a blessing or a curse to mankind.

Condition: Good. 8vo. Original wraps. 12.5 x 21cm. 12pp. plus 3 folding charts. [13th Cong., 3d sess. House doc.], 33.OCLC 29139384.Patrick Magruder (1768-1819) was the second Librarian of Congress and served in that capacity from 1807-1815. He served both as the Clerk of the House and as Librarian of Congress as had his predecessor. Magruder had the misfortune of serving in those capacities at the time the Capitol of the United States was burned by the British during the War of 1812. At the time of the burning of the Capitol in August of 1814 Magruder was absent from Washington, D.C. for health reasons. .He left the Office of the House and the Library of Congress in the charge of his brother George Magruder and two assistants. In addition to the books in the Library of Congress Patrick Magruder's office records which included the financial records of the House of Representative were destroyed. A Congressional investigation into Magruder's handling of Congressional funds found discrepancies including a shortage of $20,000. .Although Magruder managed to avoid prosecution for his actions, he resigned on January 28, 1815. I have in my collection an 1814 government publication which contains a letter from Patrick Magruder to the Speaker of the House in defense of his actions which in turn includes an account by two office assistants of the events leading to the destruction of the Office of the House and the Library of Congress. Their account says in part, "every thing belonging to the office, together with the library of congress, we venture to say, might have been removed in time, if carriages could have been procured, but it was altogether impossible to procure them, either for hire or by force." After Magruder's resignation the positions of Clerk of the House and Librarian of Congress were separated. different broadside from Marshall.From the collection of Frederic Gale Ruffner, Jr., the founder of Gale Research, Detroit.
