I just purchased some more Fine and Rare Old Books fresh out of an old estate this past week, including a number of Old Books owned by MARIUS SCHOONMAKER (Kingston, NY: 1811-1894. U.S. Rep. as Whig from N.Y. 1851-53) and CORNELIUS D. WESTBROOK D.D. (1782-1858) as well as relatives of the same. I will be listing them over the next week or so as time permits. Here are two of these books. It is a FIRST EDITION COMPLETE 2-VOL. SET of "MEMOIRS OF AARON BURR. WITH MISCELLANEOUS SELECTIONS FROM HIS CORRESPONDENCE." by MATTHEW L. DAVIS. New York: Published by Harper & Brothers. 1836 (Volume 1- first printing thus). 1837 (Volume 2). What makes this Set special is Volume 1 has a COMPLIMENTARY CLOSE OF A LETTER WITH NICE AARON BURR SIGNATURE CUT SQUARE PASTED ATOP FRONTISPIECE PORTRAIT OF BURR. It reads "I am his(?) with much respect, Your Ob't Serv't, A. Burr". Lovely clear autograph. Books are Ex-Lib. of MARIUS SCHOONMAKER (Kingston, NY: 1811-1894) with his name in ink along top of both Title Pages and both Front Endpapers (4 times). See paragraph below for more info on Marius Schoonmaker. Books are 8-7/8" X 5-3/4". Still bound in their Original Purple Cloth Bindings with Original Paper Title Labels on Spines.
