Collection of 5 speeches by Representatives William S. Archer, William Drayton, George McDuffie, Churchill Caldom Cambreleng, and Ralph Isaacs Ingersoll on a proposed constitutional amendment related to the election of the president and vice president. 5 separated disbound sections of 39, 24, 43, 15, and 15 pp each.
As-is. All bound and then subsequently disbound from the same volume, with binding remnants on spine. All with loose or detached pages at front or rear except for the speech by Archer. Ex-library stamps from the Mercantile Library of Philadelphia, along with light markings and marginalia. General age-related toning to pages, along with periodic foxing and wear. Please see photographs and ask any questions prior to purchasing.
A scarce collection on a failed 1826 constructional amendment for what would have become the 13th Amendment had it passed. A great collection for restoration or rebinding.
