Description:
[St. John, New Brunswick], 1834. Printed broadside, 15 1/2 x 7 1/8 inches, the title printed in two sizes of bold type. A diatribe against corruption in St. John's local government, O'Brien scores the "Negro Court" that siphons money away from needed uses to enrich the pols and urges his fellow citizens to replace them with "men that will pledge themselves to make retrenchment and lower the taxes." Apparently not in the NUC or on OCLC. Folded; heavily foxed, several pin holes in text, but a good example. (#5005).

Description:
NP: np, 1916. One of two 1916 editions. 8vo. 12 pp. An appeal for support of women's suffrage, tinged with bigotries of the period: "There are 50,000 more white women than all the negro men and negro women put together. The admission of women to suffrage therefore could not possibly jeopardize White Supremacy, but would make it more secure." Clark (1846-1924), an 1864 graduate of UNC, served as an officer in the Confederate army during the Civil War, edited a 5-volume history of the state's regiments in that conflict, served on the N. C. Supreme court 1889-1924, the final 21 years as its Chief Justice. Original printed self-wrappers, stapled; marginal ink markings to paragraphs on first page, hole-punched in left margin, else very good.

Description:
[Baltimore, MD], 1860. Single sheet. 24.5 x 19 cm. A reproduced typescript letter, on letterhead stationery, addressed to "Dear Sir." Old fold lines, else very good. Dr. Johnston states that the crush of correspondence and his limited time compells him to use a form letter to respond to potential patients, but that "such cases as the one described in your letter generally require my first course of treatment, the price of which is Two Hundred Dollars." He assures the person of a "perfect and permanent cure" if the course and the directions are followed, but promises to send more medicine without further charge if it doesn't work. He also admonishes the correspondent not to send a second letter of inquiry unless it contains a remittance. [After all he is a busy man...]. Lock Hospitals specialized in sexually transmitted diseases, as well as other causes of impotence. An ad for Dr. Johnston's Baltimore Lock Hospital, printed in the Gettysburg, PA Star and Sentinel, Nov. 20, 1872, offers assistance to…

Description:
Charleston, (SC): W. Riley, 1844. First edition. Large 8vo. v, (2), 550 pp. Speculation helped create the Panic of 1837 which was followed by five years of recession, during which time business and farming bankruptcies were common and banks across the nation failed. The Bank of South Carolina and the Bank of Charleston suspended specie payments several times, the last in 1840, resulting in the legislature passing new regulations; the state took the banks to trial, the revocation of their charters hanging in the balance. The judge in the case, A. P. Butler (whose copy of "The Bank Case" this is) ruled for the banks but the decision was reversed on appeal. However, since by that time the banks had resumed specie payments, the general assembly passed new legislation allowing the banks to keep their charters, so long as they abided by the new regulations. For a detailed consideration of this case, see W.A. Clark's "The History of Banking Institutions in South Carolina Prior to 1860" (Columbia, S.C.,…

Recto shows an illustration, 7.5 x 9 cm., on the top third of the page, of an older couple sitting before their hearth, the man in contemplation in his rocker, the woman sewing by lamp light.

Verso prints two more four-line verses of the poem, followed by a list of "Remedies Prepared by Dr. W.L. Willis.

New York: Office of the Banker's Magazine, 1870. 8vo. 192 pp. Original brown cloth, gilt stamped spine and front board. Discoloration from old offset on title and flyleaf. "Johnson had long been dispensing advice to bankers through letters, speeches, and occasional articles, but in the winter of 1849 he decided that what was chiefly needed was a rule book for bankers, a body of theory and precedent such as existed for the law, a kind of bible for the would-be faithful...which he dispatched...to the only American journal he thought could possibly be interested in the subject, J. Smith Homans' American Bankers' Magazine in Boston...." [see: Todd & Sonkin's "Alexander Bryan Johnson, Philosophical Banker," pp.303-8]. Johnson's essay on banking first appeared in Holman's magazine in June 1849. This common-place book includes essays on banking by several different authors, including Johnson, as well as a Numismatic Dictionary.
