John Marshall (September 24, 1755 - July 6, 1835) was an American politician and lawyer who served as the fourth Chief Justice of the United States from 1801 until his death in 1835. Marshall remains the longest-serving chief justice and fourth-longest serving justice in Supreme Court history, and he is widely regarded as one of the most influential justices to ever sit on the Supreme Court. After his appointment to the Supreme Court, Marshall began working on a biography of George Washington. He did so at the request of his close friend, Associate Justice Bushrod Washington, who had inherited the papers of his uncle. Marshall's The Life of George Washington, the first biography about a U.S. president ever published, spanned five volumes. The first two volumes, published in 1803, were poorly-received and seen by many as an attack on the Democratic-Republican Party. Nonetheless, historians have often praised the accuracy and well-reasoned judgments of Marshall's biography. Justice Marshall's biographer, Albert J. Beveridge, describes The Life of George Washington as "the fullest and most trustworthy treatment of that period from the conservative point of view." America's first president has captivated our interest for more than two centuries, but no biographer of George Washington knew him with the authenticity, intimacy, and depth of understanding as John Marshall exhibited in his book The Life of George Washington. This biography was begun in 1799 following Washington's death, when chief justice Marshall was granted by Washington's surviving family full access to all of his records, papers, and personal archives. The result is a story not only of George Washington, but also of America's founding. Marshall covers every major event in Washington's personal life and in his public role as a founding father, including his childhood, his early career, his resignation as colonel, his marriage to Martha, the invasion of Canada, early negotiations with the British, the crossing of the Delaware, the state of Washington's army during the Revolution, the treason of Benedict Arnold, the official announcement of the election of Washington as president, meetings of Congress, a threatened war with France toward the end of his life, his death, and his character. Marshall's biography of George Washington was first published in Philadelphia in five volumes, between 1804 and 1807, and today, copies of this largely first edition are among the rarest and most expensive of antiquarian books. Volume I and II are presumed First Edition, second or later printings; Volumes III, IV and V are presumed First Edition, First Printing.…

Dos volúmenes en 4to.; 2 hs., 394 pp. + 2 hs., 374 pp., y 5 láminas litográficas aparte, con planos de prisiones norteamericanas, tres de ellos plegados. Encuadernación moderna en media tela. Tocqueville y Beaumont, ambos magistrados en Versailles, obtuvieron del Ministro Montalivet el encargo de una Misión para estudiar el sistema penitenciario en Estados Unidos, donde estuvieron durante dieciocho meses, publicando a su regreso en 1833 ésta obra que marca las bases para una reforma radical de la organización de las prisiones, tanto en el aspecto ideológico como en las cuestiones jurídicas y financieras ligadas a las mismas. El sistema penitenciario norteamericano, creado como tal en 1786, en Pennsylvania, bajo la influencia directa de los medios cuáqueros, planteaba el aislamiento absoluto, en contraposición a la promiscuidad, y a partir de 1823 el trabajo colectivo y silencioso durante el día. El fructífero viaje a Estados Unidos permitió a Tocqueville la observación "sur place" del funcionamiento de la democracia en el único pais con régimen republicano. En 1835 aparecería la primera edición de "De la Démocratie en Amérique".…

First edition of the author's agricultural treatise, supported by a selection of diagrams and illustrations. The first essay offers comment on the political and economic importance of English farming, while the second elaborates on novel experiments with lucerne, the perennial legume, undertaken by Harte himself. Aside from his forays into cultivation, Harte was a poet, an Oxford don, and a canon of Windsor. He was given the rectory of Creed in Cornwall in 1750 and engaged in agricultural work nearby that allowed him to develop the theses of this text. He also published essays on reason, satire, and war.
