THE LONDON CHRONICLE, England, July 28, 1789 Page 3 of this issue contains an exceedingly significant report which would be a cornerstone issue for any collection of early cricket memorabilia. Note: this issue sold in auction for over $3000 in November, 2008. The article is titled: "Cricket" which contains within a subtitle reading: "Laws of the Game" which takes the majority of the article. There is another smaller subhead reading: "Betts" which mentions wagering on the game. The prefactory paragraph reads: "This game, at present so fashionable, and at all times so creditable and manly, will, it is feared, receive a check from the variable state of the weather. While the frequent showers, however, are preventing cricket from being played so often as it otherwise would, it may not be amiss to compensate to inexperienced batsmen and bowlers for the loss they sustain in being deprived of their favorite exercise, by laying before them the following..." and what follows is the "Laws of the Game" as seen in the photos below. The entire article takes about 1 1/4 columns. This issue is complete in 8 pages, measures 8 1/2 by 11 inches, a small rubbing hole in the front leaf not close to the cricket content (not even the same leaf) otherwise in great condition.

1919-10-10

SPRINGFIELD DAILY REPUBLICAN, Massachusetts, a set of nine consecutive and complete newspapers ranging from October 2 thru and including October 10, 1919. This is one of the more notable of all World Series contests ever played, as several of the Chicago players were charged with "fixing" the Series to allow the Cincinnati Reds to win, which indeed they did. The photos below show the headlines which appear on each of the front pages. They include: October 2:  "Over-Anxiety Of Risberg Helped In Chicago's Defeat" with various subheads. Also see page 14 banner headlines and photos. October 3:  "Timely Hits After Passes Give Cincy Second Victory" with various subheads & the box score. Also see page 17 banner headlines and photo. October 4: "Kerr Rises To Premier Post By Shutout Of Cincy Reds" with various subheads and box score.  Also see page 14 banner headlines and photos. October 5:  "Reds Are Winning Because They Possess The 'Punch' " with  various subheads. October 6:  "Wet Weather Halts World's Series Classic" with various subheads. October 7:  "Massed Attack Again Wins For Onward-Sweeping Reds" with various subheads and box score. Also see page 14 banner headlines and photos. October 8:  "White Sox Triumph In 10th In Poorest Game In Series" with various subheads and box score. Also see pg. 18 banner headlines and photos. October 9:  "Veteran Pitcher, Cicotte, Downs Reds In Third Try" with various subheads and box score. Also see page 14 for banner headlines and nice photos of Joe Jackson, John Collins, and Eddic Cicotte. October 10:  "Rocky Contest Ends Withi Reds Champions Of World" with various subheads and box score. Also see pg. 12 for banner headlines and a team photo of the World Series champions Cincinnati Reds. All nine newspapers are still bound together as I felt it was the best way for the collection to stay intact. Each issue can, however, but separated from the others should that be your desire. Each newspaper is complete, ranging from 14 to 20+ pages per issue. Each issue is also in nice condition, with various archival mends near the margins, likely done by the library which originally held the collection. These mends are rather minor & discreet and do not cause any loss of readability. Each issue measures 17 3/4 by 22 1/4 inches. As you see by the photos these newspapers are in very nice and very clean condition, having been protected by the library bindings which once held them for so long.

<div>THE NEW-YORK TIMES, Feb. 7, 1876   * National League of bsaseball is created On pg. 2 under "Base-Ball" is a report (see the photos) about a meeting held in New York resulting in the establishment of the National League. The report begins: "A meeting of the managers of all the professional base-ball organizations in the country, excepting the Philadelphia Club, was held at the Grand Central Hotel on Wednesday, Feb. 2..." The report continues, mentioning the passage of a resolution concerning "championship play" while the second resolution prevented "...any two clubs from playing in a city in which neither of them belongs." Several rules were amended at the meeting including one that allows "...the base-runner to run on a foul fly catch, after he has touched his base...", while another rule "...virtually allows the batsman to have four strikes instead of three..." followed by an explanation of how this would be done during a game situation. More importantly, there is a list of the teams that would comprise the league, the report stating that "...The association will be known as the National League of Professional Base-ball Clubs..." and thus the creation of what is commonly referred to as the National League or the "Senior Circuit". A key issue and a great item relating to the history of the national past time! Browned at the edges, a bit pulpish, otherwise in good condition.</div>

SPRINGFIELD REPUBLICAN, Springfield, Massachusetts MA, July 12, 1914 * Babe Ruth makes his  MLB debut * Boston Red Sox On page 5 at the top of the first column under "Baseball" are one column heads marking the major league debut of Babe Ruth with the Boston Red Sox. The heads include: * Leonard To Rescue * Saves Game For Red Sox * Naps Tie Score In Seventh * Ruth Does Well for Time, But Cleveland Crowds Him and Forces His Retirement The summary of the game, which includes a mention of Ruth, reads, in part: "...Ruth formerly of Baltimore, made his debut as a local pitcher, and held Cleveland to five scattered hits in the first six innings.... Leonard finished the game for the Red Sox..." Includes the box score and various statistics of the game. Great to have this account of Babe Ruth's debut in a Massachusetts newspaper from a town less than 100 miles from Boston. Issue is somewhat pulpish causing some minor chipping and flaking in the margins, has a tear at the spine, plus two in the lower margin & one in the upper margin & masthead, all extending a bit into unrelated text and affecting each leaf but not the key content listed, has a bit of margin staining.

THE CRISIS, from London, England, dated July 22, 1775. * Rare anti British title from England * Revolutionary War era original * Pro America Independence In my 32 years of dealing in rare newspapers I have only once had the great fortune to encounter issues of this very rare title. This extraordinary paper (see the photos below) is one of the most bitter political sheets to be found, issued in London both in defense of American liberty and their cause for independence, as well as to attack the policies of the King of England. One scholar noted: "This title, which is of great rarity, contains a remarkable collection of papers attacking the Ministry & the British Government in terms of the greatest severity. Indeed, one can hardly believe that in time of war a publication of such character would be tolerated." The editors certainly did not lack courage. The third number was ordered to be burned but their attacks, centering on the King and the American situation, only grew bolder & stronger, and continued throughout the duration of the war. The full text of the entire issue is photographed below. All six pages are essentially a lengthy and cleverly written poem, portions of which include: "What can be had from Captives and from Chains; What large Revenues can your coffers boast, from ruin'd cities, and a wasted coast..." and "Of haughty Tyrants & their fawning crowd; Ah, blush, deluded Prince with conscious shame,;That George should merit that detested name." and also: "Your hopes of conquest on North Am'ricks Coast, Are blasted & your expectations lost, Your armys routed & your Generalsa driven Back to their Fleets, the sport of angry Heaven...." and more (see the photos0. Measures 7 by 11 1/2 inches, in very nice condition. Complete in six pages. Note: this is not the famous "Crisis" by Thomas Paine.

TAUNTON DAILY GAZETTE, Massachusetts, set of 4 issues on Joe DiMaggio's hitting streak. The set includes: 1). The game in which Joe DiMaggio got his first hit in his 56 game hitting streak. 2). Joe DiMaggio breaking the previous hitting streak record. 3). Joe DiMaggio hitting in his 56th consecutive game. 4). Joe DiMaggio failing to hit in the 57th consecutive game. More specifically the issues are: 1).  May 16, 1941  It was in the game of May 15 against the Chicago White Sox that DiMaggio got his first hit of his record-setting streak. There are two mentions of the game, one being a simple note of the score under "Major League Standings" and the other some talk of the game, but with no mention of Joe DiMaggio in either. Nonetheless this was the first game of his streak. 2). July 3, 1941  The sports page includes the box score of the game as well as some text noting Joe DiMaggio had broken Wee Willie Keeler's record of 44 consecutive games, reading: "...while Joe DiMaggio was breaking Wee Willie Keeler's all-time record of hitting safely in 44 consecutive games. Joe's record-smasher was a homer, his 100th hit of the season..." with a bit more (see). 3). July 17, 1941  The sports page reports DiMaggio getting his 56th consecutive game hit under the headline: "Yankees Whip Cleveland 10-3", the report noting: "With Joe DiMaggio hitting a double and two singles to stretch his hitting streak to 56 consecutive games..." (see). Little did they know this would be the end. 4). July 18, 1941  The streak ends. The sports page has a nice milti-line, two column headline: "JOE DIMAGGIO GOES HITLESS" "Yankee Star's Streak Ends After 56 Games But Team Whips Cleveland in Arc Game" with various reports on the streak ending (see). Each of the four issues are complete, ranging from 12 to 24 pages each depending on the date. Tiny binding holes at the blank spine margin do not deter. A rare opportunity for a complete set of all 4 significant issues relating to this noteworthy event in baseball history, which has yet to be broken nearly 70 years later.

PENNSYLVANIA PACKET, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, November 23, 1779 * Joseph Galloway... * General William Howe... * Thomas Paine... One-third of the front page has reports from the Penna. General Assembly, with a prefacing note signed in type by Thomas Paine, who was the Clerk of the General Assembly at that time. There is a similar note signed by Thomas Paine on pg. 2 as well. Half of pg. 2 is taken up with the continued: "Examination of Joseph Galloway before the House of Commons". Galloway was a member of Congress but eventually  rallied against independence and sided with the British, despite the efforts of Ben Franklin to bring him over to the colonists' side. In December, 1776, he joined General Howe, the British commander, and accompanied him in his advance through New Jersey, serving his cause by procuring intelligence and giving advice. On the taking of Philadelphia he was appointed superintendent of the police of the City and suburbs, of the port, and of the prohibited articles, and thus became the head of the civil government during the British occupation. At the evacuation of the city he retired with the enemy, and in the following October went to England never to return. In 1779 he was examined before the House of Commons on the conduct of the war in America, and made accusations against the British commander charging that the failure of the British was because of General Howe's incompetency. This pg. 2 text has various questions & answers from this inquiry (see photos for a portion), which carries over to take half a column on page 3. Page 3 has a brief note from Boston which says: "We hear that all Continental troops have orders to repair to Head Quarters--Those who were under Gen. Gates at Rhode Island left that place last week.". The back page is entirely taken up with ads, one of which is for the publishing of: "A Narrative Of Colonel Ethan Allen's Captivity..." with more details (see photos).

HARPER'S WEEKLY, New York, Sept. 10, 1887  The full ftpg. is a Zogbaum print: "Mars & Venus at Fortress Monroe". A full page has many scenes of Castine captioned: "An Old Maine; Seaport". Another full page has 6 prints of: "The Annual Meet of the American Canoe Association" But by far the best print in this issue is the terrific doublepage centerfold captioned: "Thrown Out On Second" which is a great view of a baseball play in progress, a much closer view of game action than is typically found. This print measures about 14 by 20 inches from border to border, plus borders.

The ftpg. of this issue has a nice portrait and a biographical sketch of J. Lee Richmond. On June 12, 1880, Richmond became the first player to pitch a perfect game in professional baseball history. Richmond, a star pitcher during his college days at Brown University, threw a no-hitter in his pro debut in 1879. Browned and pulpish at edges, bit of loss in the lower right corner.

The report begins by stating: "A grand match of this national game was played yesterday, at the Elysian Fields, Hoboken, between...which resulted in favor of the Knickerbocker by thirteen runs." There is also a critique of the play: "The play was good all around, especially the Knickerbockers....Dupignac and Gibbes deserve special notice.

The report closes by mentioning that: "The ground was covered with spectators." The Knickerbocker club won the game, 27-14.

<div>HARPER'S  WEEKLY, July 28, 1888. * Frontpage Baseball Illustration The front page of this issue has one of the best 19th century baseball prints to be found, which shows a batter, catcher & umpire and is captioned: "A Ball Or A Strike--Which?" drawn by T. de Thurstrup. There are also many other prints within this issue including a fullpg: "View of Town & Country in Honduras'", a halfpg: '"Shipping Watermelons by Rail from Atlanta, Georgia"  & fullpg: "Immigrants Waiting to be distributed in the Coal Regions of Penna." The Supplement issue has a great doublepage centerfold: "City of Rochester & Its Notable Buildings" and includes a great view of the city. More. There is some very light damp staining to the bottom one-third of the front leaf, with almost no such staining on the inside leaves. Generally in quite nice condition and an ideal issue for display with this great baseball print. 16 pages.</div>

<div>THE NEW YORK HERALD, New York, NY, dated Sept. 6, 1855.   * Early Baseball Game * Box Scores On the front page under Base Ball is a summary and box score of a match played between the Gotham and Empire clubs. The summary begins by stating: The Elysian Fields at Hoboken, yesterday, presented quite an animated appearance, being well covered with ladies and gentlemen to witness this match, which resulted in favor of the Gothams by 21 runs. Also mentions that the play of Teed ...was admirable. There is also a one sentence summary, and a box score of a match played at Williamsburgh between the Columbia Club of Brooklyn and the Pioneers of Jersey, won by Columbia, 26-13. Quite uncommon to have baseball reports on the front page from this time period, especially with box scores. Other news of the day throughout. Lite foxing in the lower right corner extending into the second box score, area of very lite foxing in part of the lower half in unrelated content, otherwise in nice condition. 8 pages.</div>

GLEASON'S PICTORIAL Boston, Oct. 4, 1851  The photos show the very nice half page print appearing on an inside page and captioned: "The Celebrated Yacht America" being the vessel which won the now-famous international yacht race the very first year it was held, hence the name "America's Cup". This race remains yacht racing's most coveted prize to this day. There is detailed description of the yacht on the adjacent page. About a third of a page has a print: "American Reaping Machine" with text about this important invention by Cyrus McCormick. Halfpg: "The Daily Sun Building, Baltimore, Maryland" with a detailed article. Almost a halfpg: "Encampment Of Gipsies". A bit of lite foxing in the lower and left margins around the America print, some foxing as well in the lower right corner, and just a few traces of foxing in the print. Piece clipped from the lower right corner of the ftpg., lite wear at the spine, occasional foxing.

OFFICIAL RECORD, New York, July 6, 1886  * Very rare baseball periodical * 19th century original This is a volume two issue of a very rare & historically important baseball newspaper, the very first daily sports newspaper dedicated entirely to the national game of professional baseball.  Although the masthead reads: "Official Record" the title at the top of pages 2, 3 & 4 reads: "Official Baseball Record". This issue has a terrific baseball-themed masthead, featuring two crossed bats (barrel handles with 3 painted stripes), a baseball, and a canvas base (see photo). This issue is replete with baseball news. The front page features an engraving of "Harry D. Stovey" with a ftpg. biographical sketch on him (see photos). He played for 14 seasons in the majors, Known today as both a prolific home run hitter and base-stealer. He led the league in both categories multiple times in his career, including a season record of 14 home runs in 1883 and a league-leading 97 stolen bases in 1890. Although, by modern standards, Stovey never hit a large number of home runs, it took him 10 years to reach 100, nevertheless, he was one of the great home run hitters of his time. From 1880 to 1891 he appeared in the top 10 in home runs every year except 1887, and led the league five times. He was the first to wear sliding pads and among the first to slide feet first. The balance of the ftpg. is take up with: "Base Ball Notes" being a large number of curious tidbits (see photos for some). Page 2 has similar baseball tidbits headed "Baseball Notes and includes the standings of 7 baseball leagues (see). Page 2 also  has a "Special Notice" concerning the printing of this newspaper (see photos) with pgs. 3 & 4 taken up with a variety of ads including one for: "Baseball At The Polo Grounds" noting the dates of 12 future games. The rarity of this issue cannot be overemphasized. It is suspected this newspaper lasted for less than 15 months, the very first issue dated July 15, 1885 & the final issue dated Oct.  9, 1886. The first volume saw just 63 issues published, and the second had 150 editions for a total of just 213 issues ever published. While the first volume was printed on rather high-quality "rag" paper allowing for better preservation, the second volume (1886) was printed on more acidic newsprint resulting in exceedingly few issue remaining to this day as the paper turned brown & fragile rather quickly. This issue is complete in 4 pages, has browning at the edges but is otherwise in very nice, clean condition. This issue comes in a protective, acid-free folder for safe keeping. A rare opportunity for any serious baseball collector.

THE GENTLEMAN'S MAGAZINE, London, November, 1781  Great to find a genuine Revolutionary War era magazine from England, presenting the war reports with a British bias.  Near the back is a section headed: "American News" which has a "Copy of a Letter from Brig. Gen. Arnold to his Excellency the Commander in Chief, dated Sound off Plumb Island, Sept. 8, 1781" which takes over an entire page & is signed by him in type: B. Arnold. This is his detailed report on the taking of New London, Connecticut. Also included is a letter from George Washington to Congress which prefaces another letter from Gen. Gist concerning the safe arrival in the Chesapeake of Adm. De Grasse & his 28 French ships. It was this bit of very important news that would eventually seal the fate of Cornwallis at Yorktown, who desperately wanted the assistance of Clinton's navy in New York, but which would come to late. This is made evident but yet another report which has a  letter from Clinton to Germaine which includes: "...received a letter from the Admiral...to inform me of the enemy's being absolute masters of the navigation of the Chesapeak. I thought it right to call a council of the general officers on the subject of sending the supplies already mentioned...concurred with me in opinion that it was most advisable to wait until more favourable accounts from Rear Adm. Graves or the arrival of Adm. Digby rendering the sailing of the reinforcement less hazardous. In the mean time the exertions of both fleet & army shall be made to form a junction with the squadron & army in Virginia...". Another page has content which includes: "...he had that day embarked all the troops on board the men of war from the transports...& that the whole fleet...were then under sail for the Chesapeak...". Such assistance would come to late for Cornwallis who would surrender to Washington in mid-October at Yorktown. The report continues & notes: "...appears that on the 26th of Sept. Gen. Washington began to play his heavy artillery on York Town & before night had gained some trifling advantages."  Then further on the report becomes considerably more historic with: "...the fleet & army which sailed from the Hook on the 19th arrived off Cape Charles...when they had the mortification to hear that lord Cornwallis had proposed terms of capitulation to the enemy on the 18th..." and then also: "...we cannot entertain the least doubt of his lordship's having capitulated & that we are unfortunately too late to relieve him...the admiral has determined upon returning with his fleet to Sandy Hook...the terms of capitulation have not yet officially been received."  Truly a wealth of terrific content in this issue. Complete in 48 pages, measures about 5 by 8 inches, full title/index page, 4 interior pgs. bit close-trimmed but not affecting mentioned reports,  very nice condition.

THE NEW YORK TIMES, February 8, 1940  * Disney's animated movie "Pinocchio" is introduced to the world  Page 18 of this newspaper contains the first review of the new animated movie from the Disney Studios, "Pinocchio". This was their 2nd animated movie, following on the heals of the wildly successful "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs". The very favorable review begins: "If Westbrook Pegler could write...that Walt Disney's "Snow White" was the happiest event since the armistice, we can report confidently this morning  that Mr. Disney's "Pinocchio" is the happiesst event since the war..." with much more (see photos for portions). The review includes a two column photo from the movie showing both Pinocchio and Jiminy Cricket (see). This is the complete 44 page newspaper, rag edition in great condition. wikipedia notes: Pinocchio is Walt Disney's second animated feature in the Disney animated features canon. It was produced by Walt Disney and was originally released to theatres by RKO Radio Pictures on February 7, 1940. Based on the story Pinocchio: Tale of a Puppet by Carlo Collodi, it was made in response to the enormous success of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. The plot of the film involves a wooden puppet being brought to life by a blue fairy, who tells him he can become a real boy if he proves himself "brave, truthful, and unselfish". Thus begin the puppet's adventures to become a real boy, which involve many encounters with a host of unsavory characters. The film was adapted by Aurelius Battaglia, William Cottrell, Otto Englander, Erdman Penner, Joseph Sabo, Ted Sears, and Webb Smith from Collodi's book. The production was supervised by Ben Sharpsteen and Hamilton Luske, and the film's sequences were directed by Norman Ferguson, T. Hee, Wilfred Jackson, Jack Kinney, and Bill Roberts.

THE NEW YORK TIMES, from New York, dated October 10, 1928. * New York Yankees win World Series * Babe Ruth's famous 3 home run game * In a New York City newspaper This 60 page issue has a three line, one column headline: * YANKEES WIN SERIES, TAKING FINAL, 7 TO 3; RUTH HITS 3 HOMERS" with many subheads. Page 22 & 23 has much more on this famous day in Yankee's history with banner headlines, photos, stats and box scores. See the photos for most of the headlines. Great to have in the New York Times. Other news of the day throughout. This issue has a few clippings cut out in a couple of unrelated pages. All World Series material is present. Little staining near the outer margins with little margin wear as well, otherwise in good condition. source: wikipedia: In the 1928 World Series, the New York Yankees swept the St. Louis Cardinals in four games. Along with 1927, this was the first time a team had swept consecutive Series. Babe Ruth hit .625 (10 for 16) as the Yankees demolished their opponents by a combined score of 27 to 10. Like 1926, Ruth rocketed 3 home run balls over the right field pavilion at Sportsman's Park in Game 4. Unlike 1926, this was also the final game of the Series and served as a punctuation mark on the Yankees' dominance. Lou Gehrig also had a good Series. He drove in as many runs by himself as the entire Cardinals team combined. Bill McKechnie became the second manager to lead two different teams to the World Series, and like Pat Moran, he won one and lost one.

THE NEW-YORK TIMES, from New York, dated September 5, 1859. * Jim Creighton, baseball's 1st professional ? * Early box scores On the front page under "Base Ball" are the summaries and box scores of two baseball matches, and the very brief summary and box score of another match. The summary of the first match, played between the Eagle and Pastime clubs, says the match was played at the Elysian Fields in Hoboken, while the summary of the second match, played between the National club of Harlem, and the Morphy club of Jersey City, says they played at Mount Morris Square in Harlem. The summary of the third match, played between the Star and Excelsior clubs, states that the match was played "...near the Penny Bridge, South Brooklyn..." plus mention that: "The contest was witnessed by the usual large number of ladies and gentlemen, who so frequently during the season favor the Excelsior grounds with their presence." In the box score of this match Jim Creighton is listed as the pitcher for the Star club. Creighton was one of baseball's earliest stars. He played for just two seasons, dying from an internal hemorrhage after an organ ruptured when he hit a home run. Although baseball coverage in newspapers dates to the mid-1840's, box scores were not included until later. When the box scores were eventually included, the summaries and box scores were usually on an inside page, or the bkpg., and not on the front page like those in this issue! A great, early baseball item. Issue is in very good condition.

SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN SUPPLEMENT, New York, April 13, 1889 * Baseball arrives in England  * Diagram of a diamond  An inside page of this issue has an informative article about "Base Ball" that appeared in the London Graphic. The report begins: "The arrival in this country of a specially selected team of players will no doubt stimulate the interest on this, the great national pastime of the United States and some account of it may, therefore, be found interesting....The game is an outgrowth of 'rounders' which might naturally be thought to be too elementary a sport to be susceptible of much scientific development. As a matter of fact, however, base ball is an exceedingly scientific game...as to exclude all but professionals" The report continues, describing the "properties" of the game (bat, ball , bases), as well as the basic fundamentals and rules of the game, plus some talk about the popularity of the sport, stating in part that: "The game has gained a remarkable hold upon the American people." Included in the report is a nice 3 1/2 by 3 1/8 inch diagram of a baseball diamond, showing the various defensive positions, plus a few references. There are also small illustrations of a player sliding into a base (head first), a player batting, and one showing how to deliver a pitch. The article also mentions Capt. Ward "...in charge of the All American Nine... [and] a member of the New York Bar." And there is mention of "Ten Thousand Dollar Kelly", plus a 1 3/4 inch illustration of him. This was Mike Kelly, one of the premier players of the 19th century, and a member of the Baseball Hall of Fame. A very thorough and expertly written article, complemented by the fine diagram and the illustration of a very famous player. Front page has non-archival mends to two margin tears, leaf with this content has archival mends to two tears in the outer margin, otherwise nice. 16 pages.

THE NEW YORK TIMES, from New York, dated October 5, 1940 * Sugar Ray Robinson's debut pro fight * Madison Square Garden * Boxing This 30 page newspaper has a historic report in boxing on page 10. A night of boxing was held at Madison Square Garden which involved various fights including the main event at the end as usual which was a title fight. One column headlines on page 10 include: * ARMSTRONG, ZIVIC IN TITLE MEETING * Los Angeles Negro Makes 20th Defense of Welterweight Crown at the Garden and more. Within this report near the end mentions a undercard fight involving a man by the name of Ray Robinson. This in fact was the famous Sugar Ray Robinson making his professional debut that night. He would go on to what many considered the greatest pound for pound boxer ever. A small mention but a very 1st  being that he wasn't famous at the time. Is is what it is. (see photo for complete text) Nice to have from the city where it happened. Other news of the day throughout. Light browning with minor margin wear and a archival tape mend along the top of the front page (unrelated), otherwise in good condition.

COLUMBIAN CENTINEL, Boston, Massachusetts MA November 24, 1792 * President George Washington * 18th century original reading On the front page under an engraving of the Great Seal is an address from the Senate to the President concerning speech , signed in type: John Langdon, President pro tempore. A gracious reply follows, signed in type: Geo. Washington. Other news of the day with many interesting advertisements including some illustrated ship ads. Archival mends to a few spine tears. Untrimmed in nice condition. wikipedia notes: John Langdon (June 26, 1741—September 18, 1819) was a politician from New Hampshire and one of the first two United States Senators from that state. Langdon was an early supporter of the American Revolutionary War and later served in the Continental Congress. After being in Congress for 12 years, including serving as the first President pro tempore of the Senate, Langdon became Governor of New Hampshire. He turned down a nomination for Vice Presidential candidate in 1812, and later retired until his death in 1819. Today, Langdon is considered the most important New Hampshire politician in early American history.[who?] His father was a prosperous farmer and local politician, whose family had emigrated to America before 1660 from Sheviock, Caradon, Cornwall [1] and was among the first to settle near the mouth of Piscataqua River, a settlement which became Portsmouth, one of New England's major seaports. Langdon attended the local grammar school, run by a veteran of the 1745 siege against the French at Fortress Louisbourg in Canada. After finishing his primary education, Langdon served an apprenticeship as a clerk. He and his older brother, Woodbury, rejected the opportunity to join in their father's successful agricultural pursuits, and went to sea instead, apprenticed themselves to local naval merchants. By age 22, Langdon was captain of a cargo ship called the Andromache sailing to the West Indies. Four years later he owned his first merchantman, and would continue over time to acquire a small fleet of vessels, engaged in the triangular trade between Portsmouth, the Caribbean, and London. His older brother was even more successful in international trade, and by 1770 both young men were among Portsmouth's wealthiest citizens. British control of the shipping industries greatly hurt Langdon's business, motivating him to become a vigorous and prominent supporter of the revolutionary movement in the 1770s. He served on the New Hampshire committee of correspondence and a nonimportation committee, and also attended various patriot assemblies. In 1774, he participated in the seizure and confiscation of British munitions from Fort William and Mary. Langdon served as a member of the First Continental Congress from 1775 to 1776. He resigned in June 1776 to become agent for the Continental forces against the British and superintended the construction of several warships including the Raleigh, the America, and the Ranger which was captained by John Paul Jones. In 1777, he equipped an expedition against the British, participating in the Battle of Bennington and commanding Langdon's Company of Light Horse Volunteers at Saratoga and in Rhode Island. Langdon was again a member of the Continental Congress in 1787 and became a delegate to the Constitutional Convention in 1787, serving as a member of the New Hampshire delegation. Langdon was elected to the U.S. Senate and served from March 4, 1789, to March 3, 1801. He was elected the first President pro tempore of the Senate on April 6, 1789, and also served as President pro tempore during the Second Congress. Langdon later served as a member of the New Hampshire legislature (1801-05), with the last two terms as Speaker; he served as Governor of New Hampshire from 1805-11, with the exception of 1809. Langdon declined the nomination to be a candidate for Vice President in 1812, and later retired. He died in his hometown of Portsmouth in 1819, and was interred at the Langdon Tomb in the North Cemetery. The town of Langdon, New Hampshire is named after John Langdon, as well as Langdon Street in Madison, Wisconsin, a town with several streets named after founding fathers.

THE NEW YORK TIMES, from New York, dated October 7, 1941 * New York Yankees win world series championship * Brooklyn Dodgers * Subway series * Hometown title This 48 page newspaper has one column headlines on the front page that include: * YANKS WIN SERIES AS BONHAM BEATS DODGERS, 3 TO 1 * Gain Ninth World Title, 4 to 1, and Sixth Under McCarthy, Record for Manager * Henrich Slams Home Run and more. (see) Much more on pages 28 7 29 (sport's section) with headlines, photos and box scores. Loads of text. Other news of the day throughout. Rag edition in great condition. wikipedia notes: The 1941 World Series matched the New York Yankees against the Brooklyn Dodgers, with the Yankees winning in five games to capture their fifth title in six years, and their ninth overall. The name "Subway Series" arose for a World Series played between two New York City teams. The series was punctuated by the Dodgers' Mickey Owen's dropped third strike of a sharply breaking curveball (a suspected spitball) pitched by Hugh Casey in the ninth inning of Game 4. The play led to a Yankees rally and brought them one win away from another championship. The Yankees were back after a one-year hiatus, having won thirteen (13) of their last fourteen (14) Series games and twenty-eight (28) of their last thirty-one (31) games in the World Series. This was the first Subway Series between the Brooklyn Dodgers and New York Yankees, who had already faced the crosstown New York Giants five times, and the Series was now 1–0 in favor of the Bronx Bombers. These two teams would meet a total of seven (7) times from 1941–1956—the Dodgers' only victory coming in 1955.
