Rare collection of printed and manuscript documents, signed by the first 28 (of 29) GovernorsÂofÂPennsylvania, being a near continuous representation of the office from its establishment in 1790 with the first Governorship of Thomas Mifflin, up until the 1930s with the 29th Governorship of Gifford Pinchot. Quarto, each document is tipped in to a paper folder with calligraphic title (many with engraved portraits), and housed in a quarter blue gilt morocco presentation box with a gilt gift inscription to the 30th Governor of Pennsylvania, George Howard Earle III (1890-1974), from the "Wizard of Washington" and Democratic Party politico, Emil Hurja (1892-1953). Includes documents signed by: Thomas Mifflin (1st governor, 1790-99); Thomas McKean (2nd, 1799-1808); William Findley (4th, 1817-20); Joseph Hiester (5th, 1820-23); John A. Shulze (6th, 1823-29); George Wolf (7th, 1829-35); Joseph Ritner (8th, 1835-39); David R. Porter (9th, 1839-45); Francis R. Shunk (10th, 1845-48); William F. Johnston (11th, 1848-52); William Bigler (12th, 1852-55); James Pollock (13th, 1855-58); William F. Packer (14th, 1858-61); Andrew G. Curtin (15th, 1861-67); John W. Geary (16th, 1867-73); John F. Hartrauft (17th, 1873-79); Henry M. Hoyt (18th, 1879-83); Robert E. Pattison (19th, 1883-87 and 1891-95); James A. Beaver (20th, 1887-91); Daniel H. Hastings (21st, 1895-91); William A. Stone (22nd, 1899-1903); Samuel W. Pennypacker (23rd, 1903-07); Edwin S. Stuart (24th, 1907-11); John K. Tener (25th, 1911-15); Martin G. Brumbaugh (26th, 1915-19); William C. Sproul (27th, 1919-23); Gifford Pinchot (28th, 1923-27 and 1931-35); John S. Fisher (29th, 1927-31). This set was gifted to 30th Governor George Howard Earle III from Emil Hurja, likely upon the former's election in 1935. Raised a Republican, Earle joined the Democratic Party in the 1930s after his dissatisfaction with the Republican Party's handling of the Great Depression. A prominent supporter of Franklin D. Roosevelt, Earle campaigned for him during the 1932 presidential election, where he most likely met Hurja, who was an executive and chief pollster for the Democratic National Committee. For his service to the successful campaign FDR appointed Earle Minister Plenipotentiary to the Republic of Austria, where he early on sounded the alarm over the rise of Nazism, but resigned the office in 1934 to run for Governor ofÂPennsylvania. As the first elected Democratic Governor since the Civil War, Earle ledÂPennsylvania through the height of the Great Depression, and during his one term instituted a series of programs that has come to be known as the "Little New Deal." In Earle's first two years in office state legislators introduced a record 3,514 bills, many of which targeted economic recovery, labor laws, and unemployment. Among the many bills passed were ones that introduced Child labor laws, the institution of a 40-hour work week, the abolishment of private police forces used by the coal and iron industries, the institution of unemployment compensation, and the funding of numerous public works and infrastructure projects. Considered the first modern pollster, Hurja was executive director and chief pollster for the Democratic National Committee from 1932-37, and helped gauge public support for FDR and the New Deal. His often accurate polling and electoral predictions earned him the moniker, the "Wizard of Washington." In near fine condition. A unique collection representing nearly every Governor ofÂPennsylvania, from the office's creation in 1790, up until the Great Depression years of the mid-1930s.Â.

Leather. Condition: Very Good-. First Edition.

Endpages refreshed and the full title page for Minutes of the Grand Committee supplied in a high quality and convincing facsimile. Text pages bright and supple with only occasional general toning to some pages of the Minutes [First Session], presumably from variability of paper stock.

Important and uncommon record of the fraught and difficult negotiations involved in changing the unusually egalitarian 1776 PA Constitution into the more traditional republican form of constitutional government. In place of the weaker plural executive branch, the new Constitution empowered a single elected executive with broader powers; the egalitarian unicameral legislative body was replaced with the more traditional bi-cameral Senate and House style of Legislative government.
