Medical Menus, Unicef and Communism, World Tolerance & of Course, the Children e-list No. 75 Eclectibles Miscellany: Medical Menus, Unicef and Communism, World Tolerance & Of Course, the Children It’s all about the Children… Eclectibles Sheryl Jaeger & Ralph Gallo 860.872.7587 [email protected] www.eclectibles.com e-list 75 1 [email protected] Albums 1. [friendship album][ poetry][ ink drawings] Autographs, An Illustrated Friendship Album Belonging to Henretta "Etta" R. Hadley of Enfield Center, NH, circa 1878-1884. J. S. Locke & Co. Boston, MA. 1875. A friendship album belonging to Henretta "Etta" R. Hadley of Enfield Center, NH given to her on her twenty-six birthday in 1878. The album entries appear to comprise of mostly her friends who lived in Enfield Center and nearby towns such as Concord, Claremont, Charlestown, and Franklin Falls. However there are a few entries from people who live in the neighboring states of Vermont, Maine, and Massachusetts. The entries date from 1878- 1884 with the bulk of them dating from 1878-1880. The album starts with an inscription of "A birthday gift from Nell & Mattie, Claremont, [NH] Feb. 10, 1878." The rest of the albums entries are mostly made up of short poems or verses, some of which may be original. There are also a few longer entries in which the author describes some memories he or she and Etta had together. One unique entry to this album covers two opposite pages. Little anecdotes, snippets of memories, and short quotes fill these two pages, written in every which direction. The author only identifies herself in one line stating, "If you are unable to remember your friend Maude in any other way, think of the trip from Claremont." Here are a few examples of other morsels written on the page: "Our leap year ride and hunt for a coal dove. I want to carry a friend two miles on the Charlestown road... are you fond of ham, swinging in a hammock, and eating chocolates... open air concerts by the color folks.... coon hunting by moonlight.... Pretty warm this evening is it not, ladies?" It appears as though this entry started a trend in Etta's album as a few other entries are done in a similar manner, though none as large or as convoluted as the first one. Three entries are pen and ink calligraphy birds with elaborate e-list 75 2 [email protected] flourishes, an additional entry demonstrates artistic penmanship. Several entries make use of Victorian scraps throughout the album, totaling approximately a dozen different scraps. Of note is one small photograph of one of Etta's friends. This photograph is a black and white portrait of a seated young woman from the waist up. One other entry of possible note is by a boy named Frank A. Ball. At the base of his page, he as written a series of dot and dashes that look a lot like Morse code. However, while a quick translation did not reveal letters that made sense. The album itself was published by J. S. Locke & Co., and has red leather gilt decorative covers. Interspersed throughout the album are eleven (11) printed illustrtions, including the title page which features a large engraving of a gate in a wooded area with the text, "Autograph Album Illustrated". The text uses a decorative font, with the letters of the first two words looking like living tree branches while font of the last wood looks like wooden boards nail together to create letters. Eight of the remaining ten illustrations feature small rectangular boxes, meant to mimic visiting cards with other decorative elements enhancing the card. For example several have wheat stalks or flowers, while another has a locust perched beneath, and still another has a spider spinning its web in the corner. The most simplistic one of these illustrations simply looks like a pile of three visiting cards, with no other decoration. Some of the entries on these pages do incorporate the image in the verses written for Etta. Below are a few excerpts from the entries within the album: ""With eyes as blue as the skies, The water from the secret spring, With hair of golden hue, Let memory breathe he softest tone You are the one to win the hearts of with magic force it breaks the stone good men and true." and forth will gush all fresh and bright, - Charlie S. Powers, Claremont, NH The living tide of love and light." - C. L. Tibbil, Claremont, NH, Dec. 27th, Though like the marble rock of old, 1879 Your heart may seem all hard and cold, Yet like that rock a touch will bring, "Beneath this locust, I'll write my name, that he may ever Guard the same." - George P. Sturtevant, Hartland, VT, May 4, 1879, written on one of the illustrated pages with an image of a locust on it. Red leather covers with embossed linear design and a decorative embossed line and dot border. The front cover also has a simple double lined gilt border within the embossed one, and at the center is the word "Autographs" in gilt lettering and decorative filigree design. The spine has a gilt decorative design accompanying the word "Autographs" done in gilt lettering. Interior pages gilt edged. Completely filled. Measures 8" x 5". (#20203285) $225.

Hadley (1822-1882) and Laura Ann Denham (1825-1908) in Canaan, NH. She had one sibling, Erastus Hadley (1845- 1902). She married Adin/Aden B. Sanders (1851-1936) on August 13, 1884 in Charlestown, NH. It does not appear that they had any children. Etta died in 1919. e-list 75 3 [email protected] General wear and soiling.

[photographs][ photo album][ genealogy][ Marcy] Photograph Album and Genealogy of the Marcy Family, circa 1850-1900. Marcy Family. [1850-1900]. A photograph album of the family of Laban March (1780-1860), an American politician from Massachusetts. The album contains approximately seventy-seven (77) photographs of the great Marcy family. It appears as though one of Laban's children compiled the album, since Laban and his wife, Fanny Howe (1791-1857), don't appear in the album. On the free endpaper is a partial family tree of Laban's children including all six children and the names of some of their children. There are 77 photographs in the album, 42 are identified at least by name written under the photograph, and at times additional information is provided. Photos include Laban's children, sons-and-daughters-in-law, their grandchildren, and other extended family members. In a few instances individuals are noted as great friends of the family. There are 28 young children or babies the remainder are adults of various ages. Several individuals are pictured twice, (and one three times) at different times. The family genealogy is available upon request with asterisks (*) is placed beside the name the individual that has an identified photograph in the album. There are two photographs in the album of individuals that are clearly not related to the Marcy family in any way. The first is a small photograph of King Edward VII when he was still Prince of Wales. The second is a small photograph of Mrs. Tom Thumb. The album consists of forty (40) pages, evenly split between pages that hold a single large photograph and pages that can hold four smaller photographs. Of the seventy-seven (77) photographs contained in the album, seventeen (17) are large photographs, and sixty (60) are quarter-page photographs. Most pages are completely filled. The majority of the album contains e-list 75 4 [email protected] portraits of a single person, however there are five (5) photos with two individuals in them, and one (1) that features a trio of young children. Regardless of the shape of the cut out, the dimensions remain largely the same. Measures 5 ¼” x 6 ¾” (larger cut outs), 3 ½” x 2" (smaller cut outs). With the exception of three, all the photographs fit neatly into these slots. The majority of the photographs are in good condition with minimal to no fading. There are a few tin types with the majority of the photographs being cabinet cards or carte de visites . The photographs can be removed and at times there is information to be found on the back of the card, normally relating to the photographer who took the picture. Some of the photograph studios used were: E. L. Brand & Co. in Chicago, IL, GH. Bercamasco Photographe in St. Petersbourg, Rogers in Hartford, CT, and Richardson in Boston, MA. The album black leather covers with decorative embossing meant to invoke the image of the metal hinges that were once used to hold old books together. The spine of the book has gilt lettering, which states "Album". There are remnants of what appears to have been a clasp meant to secure the book closed. Interior pages are gilt edge. Measures 11" x 8". (#27000358) $325.

He married Fanny Howe (1791-1857) on April 4, 1812 and had six children. He attended Woodstock Academy and studied law under Judge Barnes of Tolland, CT. He was elected a Massachusetts State Representative (or Senator, the records are unclear), and was a delegate to the Massachusetts Constitutional Convention in 1820 and again in 1853.

  • The Greatest Legal Movie of All Time: Proclaiming the Real Winner
    MORRIS II FINAL POST-AUTHOR PAGES (2) (DO NOT DELETE) 7/19/2010 9:19 AM The Greatest Legal Movie of All Time: Proclaiming the Real Winner GRANT H. MORRIS* In August 2008, the ABA Journal featured an article entitled The 25 Greatest Legal Movies.1 A panel of experts, described in the article as “12 prominent lawyers who teach film or are connected to the business,”2 selected “the best movies ever made about lawyers and the law.”3 Those experts included a United States district court judge, the Dean of the Yale Law School who has since been confirmed as Legal Adviser to the United States Department of State, five law professors, four practicing attorneys, and a law-trained, ABA Journal assistant managing editor who wrote the article and who characterized himself as “a film geek since childhood.”4 This distinguished panel ranked its twenty-five top legal movies, choosing To Kill a Mockingbird as its number one legal movie.5 The panel also selected twenty-five films as “honorable mentions,” which were listed in alphabetical order.6 Surely, the panel worked long and hard on its task. Their selections are certainly worthy of inclusion on any list of great legal movies. However, an injustice has been done that must be confronted. The real greatest legal movie of all time was not selected as the winner. It was * © Grant H. Morris 2010.
