A collection of five New York Supreme Court writs and summons documents, dated from between 1805 to 1809. Each sheet contains handwritten legal notations, case details, clerk signatures, and embossed state seals. In Very Good condition. Light overall age-toning with scattered foxing and mild surface wrinkling. Embossed and foil seals remain present and largely intact, with minor rubbing from handling. Original fold lines visible from storage. Edges and corners show light wear, including a small close tear of approximately 0.5" along the lower left margin of one document. RW Consignment. Shelved at Rockville, Room A, General Ephemera Part 2. These writs, executed by clerks such as Fairlie & Bloodgood and Breese, summon parties in a variety of civil cases, most involving debt and judgment: 1. Montgomery Co., 1808 -Partially printed writ of summons, with Arthur Breese named as clerk (printed), bearing the gilt seal of the New York Supreme Court. Summons Timothy Moors to answer in a case brought by John Haggerty and David Austin, leading New York auctioneers who together operated the powerhouse firm Haggerty & Austin, dominant in city auction circles in the early 19th century. Attorney listed as "T Sill" (Theodore Sill, partner to Thomas Ruggles Gold). A vivid example of the Court's extension into upstate counties through its Utica office. 2. Cortland Co., 1809 - writ of summons for Samuel Sheldon in a case brought by John Bissell, likewise partially printed, with Arthur Breese named as clerk (printed), with gilt seal. Attorney named as "Theodr. Sill" (Theodore Sill, partner to Thomas Ruggles Gold) 3. Montgomery Co., 1805 - Partially printed writ which names James Fairlie and Francis Bloodgood as clerks (printed). Summons Jonas Dillingback and names attorneys Gold & Sill (Thomas Ruggles Gold and Theodore Sill of Whitesboro), a distinguished Federalist political duo and influential legal partners. 4. Albany Co., 1806 - Fully manuscript writ of execution, signed as Fairlie and Bloodgood (clerks), demanding that the Sheriff enforce payment by Joseph Lyon to Thomas and Garrit Storm. The Storms were members of a prominent New York mercantile family; Thomas Storm (1748-1833) served as Speaker of the New York Assembly (1802-03). Attorney of record: "Graham." 5. Washington Co., 1809 - manuscript writ of summons, signed as Fairlie, Bloodgood, and Breese (in what appears to be at least two distinct hands), naming J. Russell as attorney, summoning Absalom Daley and William Johnson to answer Simon Willard. The documents show the transition from fully manuscript legal process to printed blanks filled in by clerks, and bear the signatures of early Supreme Court clerks: James Fairlie, Harmanus Bleecker Bloodgood, and Arthur Breese. James Fairlie (1757-1830): Revolutionary War officer (served as aide-de-camp to General Steuben), later Clerk of the New York Supreme Court of Judicature for the New York City office (1798-1820). Prominent in Federalist circles, he was also a Regent of the University of the State of New York. His long tenure as clerk makes his name common on early 19th-century Supreme Court writs. Francis Bloodgood (1775-1840): Clerk of the New York Supreme Court of Judicature at Albany (1797-1825) and later served twice as Mayor of Albany. A central figure in Albany's legal and civic world, his career spanned both law and politics, and he is remembered for helping administer the highest state court during a formative period. Arthur Breese (1770-1825): Princeton graduate (1790), lawyer, and influential in Oneida County politics. Appointed Clerk of the New York Supreme Court at Utica in 1808, overseeing the new western division of the court until his death in 1825. He was the father of Sidney Breese, later U.S. Senator from Illinois and Chief Justice of the Illinois Supreme Court. His clerkship marked the expansion of the state's judicial system into western New York. 1402716. Special Collections - Upstairs.

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. ix, 106 pp; 27 text figures. Original cloth. Near Fine. First Edition. INSCRIBED BY CECIL K. DRINKER: "Howard!/ I hope you/ like this book/ & that you guess/ at even a fraction/ of the warm feeling/ which goes with/ it./ C.K.D./ Aug. 1945." The book is dedicated by Cecil Drinker to James Howard Means and Eugene Dubois "with whom I have had the good fortune to work". NOTE ABOUT THE RECIPIENT: It is my belief that the "Howard!" in Drinker's inscription is the dedicatee James Howard Means. In his publications, Means used "J. Howard Means" as his name, which says to me that he was known as "Howard" to friends and colleagues. The book has been priced as a dedication copy, so if I am wrong about who "Howard" is and you know to the contrary, let me know. Printed on the title page: "The Nathalie Gray Bernard lectures delivered at the Bowman Gray School of Medicine, Wake Forest College, Winston-Salem, North Carolina, in December, 1944, together with a fifth chapter on artificial respiration.".

First separate edition of Hamilton's analysis of Jefferson's first Annual Message to Congress which first appeared in the Evening Post, under the signature of Lucius Crassus. Howes H112. Octavo, bound in quarter morocco. Association copy, from the library of American jurist James Kent with his ownership signature to the title page. American jurist, New York legislator and legal scholar James Kent was part of the same legal elite in New York as Hamilton, and an ardent Federalist and admirer of both Hamilton and Jay. At the time of the present publication, he sat on the bench of the New York Supreme Court, where he was shortly to become chief judge. He wrote admiringly of Hamilton "He was blessed with a very amiable, generous, tender, and charitable disposition, and he had the most artless simplicity of any man I ever knew. It was impossible not to love as well as respect and admire him. He was perfectly disinterested. The selfish principle, that infirmity too often of great as well as of little minds, seemed never to have reached him. He was a most faithful friend to the cause of civil liberty throughout the world, but he was a still greater friend to truth and justice" (James Kent, 1832). In near fine condition. A significant association copy. Thomas Jefferson presented his first Annual Message to Congress in writing by way of a clerk on December 8, 1801. He did not speak it to the 7th United States Congress, because he thought that would make him seem like a king, remarking "Whilst we devoutly return thanks to the beneficent Being who has been pleased to breathe into them the spirit of conciliation and forgiveness, we are bound with peculiar gratitude to be thankful to Him that our own peace has been preserved through so perilous a season, and ourselves permitted quietly to cultivate the earth and to practice and improve those arts which tend to increase our comforts.".

An American jurist, Kent was the first professor of law at Columbia College. He was then made Chief Justice of the New York Supreme Court, where his groundbreaking decisions did much to revive the English principle of equity. He is best remembered for his four volume Commentaries on American Law. DS. 1pg. 10" x 8". August 14, 1817. New York. A partly printed vellum document signed "James Kent" as Chancellor of the New York. He admitted Charles Baldwin as a Solicitor to the court. There is a red wax seal in the lower left corner, a decorative border and an engraving in the upper left corner. The signature is a bit light since it is on vellum, but completely readable. There are a couple of folds and the condition is fine.

"KENT, James. Autograph document signed. New York, March 2, 1797. One leaf, measuring 7-1/2 by 10 inches, writing on recto; handsomely framed with engraved portrait, entire piece measures 17-1/2 by 25 inches. $1350.Autograph document signed by James Kent, acknowledging receipt of $32 for his attendance at the state legislature of New York."Superior to any previous treatise on this subject, and a landmark in the history of international law" (Chamberlain). "The foremost American institutional legal treatise" (DAB). "Without Kent and Story, it is doubtful that the common law could have been received as readily as it was or that judicial decision could have taken over as the law's growing point Above all, the text writers and their affiliated law schools were a great unifying influence in American law" (Schwartz, 111). Kent's Commentaries "contain not only a clear statement of the English law, with all the alterations that have taken place since the time of Blackstone, but a full account of the main principles of Equity, also, a review of the modifications engrafted on the English law by the different states of the Union and on all important questions, an instructive parallel between the English, American, Modern Continental and Civil Laws" (Marvin, 438). Kent's goal was "to transplant the English common law to America [His] reliance on precedents had the two-prong effect of helping to maintain the primacy of judge-made law in contrast to codification by legislatures, while providing the legal profession with the degree and kind of certainty it craved" (ANB). A Columbia University professor and judge in New York, Kent was one of the most influential jurists of his time, and early in his career "was responsible for two significant innovations: written opinions and published reports" (ANB). Expected fold lines. Very handsomely framed.". Signed.
