The Bar of Rye Township, Westchester County, New York : an Historical and Biographical Record, 1660-1918
i Class JHlS ^ Book_t~Bii5_W_6 Edition limited to two hundred and fifty numbered copies, of which this is number .\ — The Bar of Rye Township Westchester County New York An Historical and Biographical Record 1660-1918 Arthur Russell Wilcox " There is properly no history, only biography." Emerson 8 Copyright, 191 BY ARTHUR R. WILCOX 2^ / i-o Ubc "ftnicftctbocftcr press, tKz\o aoch TO MY MOTHER THIS VOLUME IS LOVINGLY AND .VFFECTIONATELY INSCRIBED — " Discourage litigation. Persuade your neighbors to compromise whenever you can. Point out to them how the nominal winner is often a real loser—in fees, expenses and waste of time. As a peacemaker, the lawyer has a superior opportunity of being a good man. Never stir up litigation. A worse man can scarcely be found than one who does this. Who can be more nearly a fiend than he who habitually overhauls the register of deeds in search of defects in titles, whereupon to stir up strife and put money in his pocket? A moral tone ought to be enforced in the profession which would drive such men out of it." Lincoln. Foreword This work, undertaken chiefly as a diversion, soon became a considerable task, but none the less a pleasant one. It is something which should have been done long since. The eminence of some of Rye's lawyers fully justifies it. It is far from complete. Indeed, at this late day it could not be otherwise; records have disappeared, recollections have become dim, and avenues of investigation are closed. Some names, perhaps, have been rescued from oblivion. -
Alexander Hamilton and the Development of American Law
Alexander Hamilton and the Development of American Law Katherine Elizabeth Brown Amherst, New York Master of Arts in American History, University of Virginia, 2012 Master of Arts in American History, University at Buffalo, 2010 Bachelor of Science in Applied Economics and Management, Cornell University, 2004 A Dissertation presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Virginia May, 2015 This dissertation is dedicated to the memory of Matthew and Theresa Mytnik, my Rana and Boppa. i ABSTRACT ―Alexander Hamilton and the Development of American Law,‖ is the first comprehensive, scholarly analysis of Alexander Hamilton‘s influence on American jurisprudence, and it provides a new approach to our understanding of the growth of federal judicial and executive power in the new republic. By exploring Hamilton's policy objectives through the lens of the law, my dissertation argues that Hamilton should be understood and evaluated as a foundational lawmaker in the early republic. He used his preferred legal toolbox, the corpus of the English common law, to make lasting legal arguments about the nature of judicial and executive power in republican governments, the boundaries of national versus state power, and the durability of individual rights. Not only did Hamilton combine American and inherited English principles to accomplish and legitimate his statecraft, but, in doing so, Hamilton had a profound influence on the substance of American law, -
Rochester One Hundred Years Ago
Edited by DEXTER PERKINS, City Historian and BLAKE MCKELVEY, Assistant City Historian VOL. 1 JULY, 1939 No. 3 ROCHESTER ONE HUNDRED YEARS AGO THE CITY AND ITS PEOPLE In 1839 the United States was still a preponderantly agricultural nation, a nation of small farmers. In the whole settled area of our country, which then extended hardly beyond the Mississippi-except for such states as Arkansas, Missouri, and Louisiana-there were only fifteen cities with a population of over 20,000 people. The largest, New York, was about the size of Rochester today. The next largest, Baltimore, had only slightly over 100,000, while New Orleans ran a close third with Philadelphia and Boston as fourth and fifth. In 1839 the region of Western New York, and still more, of course, the states between the mountain barrier of the Appalachians and the Great River, could still be spoken of without absurdity as the West. In this Western region cities were, of course, even less numer- ous and important than along the seaboard. Chicago had its future all before it. Detroit and Saint Louis were as yet of minor importance. The largest urban communities were New Orleans, Cincinnati, and Pittsburgh, with a population of approximately 100,000, 45,000, and 30,000, respectively. In such a situation as this, young Rochester, with 20,000 inhabitants, could hold up its head proudly and indulge in rosy dreams that it might become one of the great cities of America. The growth of this local community of ours had, indeed, been remarkable. In 1839 it was less than thirty years since Hamlet Scran- tom had come to Rochester to become the first permanent settler on ROCHESTER HISTORY! published quarterly by the Rochester Public Library, dis- tributed free at the Library, by mail 25 cents per year. -

Leasehold Counties in New York 18V+-18V6 132 ii CHAPTER I THE NEW YORK LEASEHOLD SYSTEM AND THE ANTI-RENT REBELLION Silas Wright was one of the most universally respected Democrats of the Jacksonian period. As United States Senator from 1833 to 18M+, he established a record for political integrity, honesty, and courage that made him a valuable leader of the Democratic Party and gained for him the respect of the Whig opposition. Wright's position in Washington as a presidential liaison in the Senate caused him to play an influential role in both the Jackson and Van Bur9:1 administrations. He maintained a highly developed sense of political Idealism throughout his career. Although Wright was aware of the snares of political corruption that continually beset national politicians, his record remained irreproachable and untainted.^ The conditions of political life during the Jacksonian era were an affront to Wright's sense of idealism- Gradually disillusioned by the political . -

We are especially grateful to Governor Nelson A. Rockefeller, former Governor Averell Harriman, the members of our State Legislature, the Attorney General, the State Comptroller, the Directors of the Budget, the Superintendents of Public Works and their staffs, the State Architect, the Appellate Division of the Third Department, the Mayor of Albany and his Commissioners, the consulting architects, the general contractor, the subcontractors, and the many skilled craftsmen and co-workers. The restoration of this 117 year old building to its original architectural beauty, and its modernization to cope with the business of the Court, will aid in serving the cause of justice for many years, and Court of Appeals Hall will be a monument to which not only the People of Albany but those of our Empire State may point with pride.
