Taking as his text a speech by Brougham 'vainly opposing the third reading of the Factories Bill, (1844)', Hardcastle gives his own view, concluding: 'It is scarcely too much to say that the step gained by…the passing of Married Women's Property Act (1870) would be more than retraced; and a new force would be given to the argument urged against extending the suffrage to women, - that persons too helpless to be trusted to dispose of their own labour, cannot be trusted to make laws for the Empire.'

Journal of the First Session of the Senate of the United States of America, Begun and Held at the City of New-York, March 4th, 1789, and in the Thirteenth Year of the Independence of the Said States. First edition. New York: Thomas Greenleaf, 1789. Signed by Caleb Strong on title page. 172 pp.,…8 1/2 x 13 1/2 in. A unique association to one of the people who played an active role in creating the laws passed here. This first edition records the actions of the first session of the first United States Senate, which met at Federal Hall in New York City from March 4 to September 29, 1789. The Senate did not achieve a quorum until April 6, when both houses assembled to count the electoral votes for president (recorded here on p.7).John Adams' first address to the Senate over which he presided (pp. 16-18) is followed by George Washington's first inaugural address (23-25). Of particular interest are two versions of what would become the Bill of Rights. James Madison, proposed a series of amendments on June 8, 1789. After considerable debate, on August 24 the House approved 17 proposed amendments and sent them to the Senate for consideration (103-107). Over the next few weeks, the Senate reduced those 17 articles to 12, which it passed on September 9. A few weeks later, on September 25, both houses approved the final version of 12 articles (163-164).President George Washington sent them to the various states on October 2-3. By December 15, 1791, the required three-quarters of the states had ratified ten of the amendments, which became the "Bill of Rights."This Senate Journal is one of only two 1789 book printings of the Bill of Rights, along with the Acts Passed at a Congress of the United States. Both were printed in New York soon after the end of the session on September 29. On October 5, 1789, Francis Childs and John Swaine announced through their newspaper, The Daily Advertiser, that "This Day is Published, And to be sold by the Printers hereof, Price One Dollar, The ACTS, Passed at the first session of the first Congress of the United States of America. To which are annexed a correct copy of the Constitution of the United Staes, and the amendments proposed by Congress to the same."[1]In July 1789, Thomas Greenleaf had begun soliciting subscribers for the Journal of the Senate through his newspaper, The New-York Journal, and Weekly Register.[2] Through the issue of October 8, he informed subscribers that they could pick up copies, beginning on Saturday, October 10.[3]Excerpts[John Langdon of New Hampshire"declared to the Senate, that the Senate and House of Representatives had met, and that he, in their presence, had opened and counted the votes of the Electors for President and Vice President of the United States.whereby it appears, that George Washington, Esq. Was unanimously elected President,-And John Adams, Esq. Was duly elected Vice President, Of the United States of America." (p7)"The Report of the Committee appointed to determine upon rules for conducting business in the Senate, was agreed to. Whereupon, Resolved, That the following Rules, from No. I, to XIX, inclusive be observed." (p14)First Address of Vice President John Adams as President of the Senate (p16-18)George Washington's First Inaugural Address, April 30, 1789 (p23-25)"On the one hand, I was summoned by my country, whose voice I can never hear but with veneration and love, from a retreat which I had chosen with the fondest predilection, and, in my flattering hopes, with an immutable decision, as the asylum of my declining years-a retreat which was rendered every day more necessary as well as more dear to me by the addition of habit to inclination, and of frequent interruptions in my health to the gradual waste committed on it by time.

Aggiungi al carrelloHardcover. Condizione: Good. Journal of the First Session of the Senate of the United States of America, Begun and Held at the City of New-York, March 4th, 1789. First edition. New York: Thomas Greenleaf, 1789. 172 pp., 8 1/2 x 13? in. The U.S. Congress met for its first session at Federal Hall in New York City from March 4 to S…eptember 29, 1789. The U.S. Senate did not achieve a quorum until April 6, when both houses of Congress assembled to count the electoral votes for president.The Bill of Rights appeared in two 1789 book printings-this volume of Senate Journals, and the Acts Passed at a Congress of the United States (New York: Childs and Swaine). Both were printed soon after the close of the First Session of the First Federal Congress on September 29. Although priority has not been definitively established, the Senate printing likely came first. Thomas Greenleaf began soliciting subscribers for the Senate Journal in July 1789, and advertised it through his newspaper, the New-York Journal, and Weekly Register through Oct. 8, when he informed subscribers that they could pick up their copies on the 11th. ExcerptsJohn Langdon of New Hampshire declared "that the Senate and House of Representatives had met, and that he, in their presence, had opened and counted the votes of the Electors for President and Vice President of the United States.whereby it appears, that George Washington, Esq. Was unanimously elected President,-And John Adams, Esq. Was duly elected Vice President, Of the United States of America." (p7)First Address of Vice President John Adams as President of the Senate (p16-18)George Washington's First Inaugural Address, April 30, 1789 (p23-25)"On the one hand, I was summoned by my country, whose voice I can never hear but with veneration and love, from a retreat which I had chosen with the fondest predilection, and, in my flattering hopes, with an immutable decision, as the asylum of my declining years-a retreat which was rendered every day more necessary as well as more dear to me by the addition of habit to inclination, and of frequent interruptions in my health to the gradual waste committed on it by time. On the other hand, the magnitude and difficulty of the trust to which the voice of my country called me, being sufficient to awaken in the wisest and most experienced of her citizens a distrustful scrutiny into his qualifications, could not but overwhelm with despondence one who (inheriting inferior endowments from nature and unpracticed in the duties of civil administration) ought to be peculiarly conscious of his own deficiencies." (p23)Back to the Senate: "From a decent respect for the opinion and practice of civilized nations . the Senate have been induced to be of opinion, that it would be proper to annex a respectable Title to the Office of President of the United States: But the Senate, desirous of preserving Harmony with the House of Representatives, where the practice lately observed in presenting an address to the President was without the addition of Titles, think it proper for present to act in conformity with the practice of that House: "Therefore Resolved, that the present address be- 'To the President of the United States'-without addition of Title." (p34-35)Important pieces of legislation passed in this session include (with dates of enactment):July 4, Tariff of 1789, which provided much-needed funding for the federal government;July 27, Department of Foreign Affairs established (later the State Department). (On Sept. 29, though still in Paris as U.S. Minister to France, Thomas Jefferson became the first Secretary of State);July 31: Customs Service and official ports of entry established;Aug. 7: War Department established. (On Sept. 12, Henry Knox became the first Secretary of War);Sept. 2: Treasury Department established. (On Sept. 11, Alexander Hamilton was nominated and confirmed as the first Secretary of the Treasury); andSept. 24: Judiciary Act, which established the federal j. (See website for full description).

This publication contains an early printing of the original twelve articles of the Bill of Rights, of which only ten were ratified, as well as acts establishing the departments of State, War, and the Treasury.

Childs entered into partnership with John Swaine (1762-1794) in 1789, and they later opened an office in Philadelphia and conducted printing for the United States government, including the Journals of the House of Representatives and the Acts of Congress, through 1798. Philip Freneau (1752-1832) published the Democratic-Republican National Gazette at Childs and Swaine's printing shop in Philadelphia to counter the Federalist Gazette of the United States. Book.

This issue of The Massachusetts Sentinel reprints the article "Remarks on the first part of the Amendments to the Federal Constitution, moved on the 8th inst. in the House of Representatives" from… the Federal Gazette of Philadelphia. Written by Tench Coxe, over the pseudonym "A Pennsylvanian," the article declares that "the people must rejoice to find, that their rulers, of however diversified opinions, are equally anxious for their country's happiness." This commentary is addressed to the nine amendments that James Madison introduced on June 8, 1789, before the House committee of which Madison was a part revised them. On June 18, 1789, Coxe wrote to Madison, "I observe you have brought forward the amendments you proposed to the federal Constitution. I have given them a very careful perusal, and have attended particularly to their reception by the public. The most decided friends of the constitution admit (generally) that they will meliorate the government by removing some points of litigation and jealousy, and by heightening and strengthening the barriers between necessary power and indispensible liberty. In short the most ardent & irritable among our friends are well pleased with them." Coxe continued, "It has appeared to me that a few well tempered observations on these propositions might have a good effect. I have therefore taken an hour from my present Engagements, which on account of my absence are greater than usual, and have thrown together a few remarks upon the first part of the Resolutions. I shall endeavour to pursue them in one or two more short papers. It may perhaps be of use in the present turn of the public opinions in New York state that they should be republished there. It is in fed. Gazette of 18th. instant."[1] Coxe's second essay in support of the amendments appeared in the Federal Gazette on June 30 and in the Massachusetts Centinel on July 11.[2]Excerpts"The first article, pursuing the Republican spirit with which the Convention of 1787 designed to animate every part of the Constitution, declares in the most unequivocal terms, that all power is the exclusive right of the people. that whenever this frame of government shall prove unequal to the attainment or destructive of that essential object, the publick good, it must be reformed or altered, and that it can be at any time reformed and altered by an indubitable, unalienable and indefeasible right, which always remains in the people. This is indeed the creed of liberty, to which every American will give his unqualified assent." (p1/c2)"The second article provides for a larger representation of the people, than the present number, that members, still more minutely acquainted with local interests and the feelings of the people, may be returned." (p1/c2)"The third article wisely provides, that no future House of Representatives shall determine the wages of that Congress, of which it shall be a part; but may fix the allowance to its successors for two years." (p1/c2)"The next article establishes religious liberty, and all those political rights, which by various tricks of state have been wounded through its means, on the firmest ground." (p1/c2)"The following paragraph declares the freedom of the press to be a main bulwark of liberty, and reasoning unanswerably from its usefulness and indispensable necessity, declares, that it shall be inviolable." (p1/c2)"As civil rulers, not having their duty to the people duly before them, may attempt to tyrannize, and as the military forces which must be occasionally raised to defend our country, might pervert their power to the injury of their fellow citizens, the people are confirmed by the next article in their right to keep and bear their private arms." (p1/c2)Historical BackgroundOn May 4, 1789, Madison announced that he would introduce a bill of rights in three weeks. When. (See website for full description). Newspaper.

This issue of The Massachusetts Gazette contains an important precursor to the Bill of Rights, from the New York Constitutional Convention held at Poughkeepsie. The following Declaration of Rights, number…ing to fifteen, was submitted to the Convention on July 7, by John Lansing:That all freemen have essential rights, of which they cannot by any compact deprive or divest their posterity; among which are, the enjoyment of life and liberty.That all power is originally vested in and consequently derived from the people; and that government is instituted for their common benefit, protection and security.That in all cases in which a man may be subjected to a capital or infamous punishment, no one ought to be put to his trial unless on an indictment by a grand jury; and that, in all capital or criminal prosecutions, the accused hath a right to demand the cause and nature of his accusation; to produce testimony and have counsel in his defence; and to a fair, publick and speedy trial by an impartial jury of the county in which the crime was committed, without whose unanimous consent he ought not to be found guilty (except in the government of the land and naval forces, in time of actual war, invasion or rebellion) nor ought he to be compelled to give evidence against himself.That no freeman ought to be taken, imprisoned, or disseized of his freehold, or be exiled or deprived of his privileges, franchises, life, liberty or property, but by the law of the land.That no person ought to be put in jeopardy of life or limb, or otherwise punished twice for one and the same offence, unless upon impeachment.That every freeman, restrained in his liberty is entitled to an enquiry into the lawfulness of such restraint, without denial or delay, and to a removal thereof if unlawful.That in all controversies respecting property, and in all suits between man and man, the ancient trial of the rights of a free people, ought to remain sacred and inviolate forever.That excessive bail ought not to be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel nor unusual punishments inflicted.That every freeman has a right to be secure from unreasonable searches and seizures of his person, his papers, and his property; and that therefore all warrants to search suspected places or to seize any freeman, his papers or property, without information upon oath (or affirmation of a person religiously scrupulous of taking an oath) of sufficient cause, are grievious and oppressive; and all general warrants to search suspected places, or to apprehend any suspected person, without especially naming or describing the place or person, are dangerous and oppressive, and ought not to be granted.That people have a right peaceably to assemble together to consult for their common good, or to instruct their Representatives; and that every freeman has a right to petition or apply to the Legislature for redress of grievances.That the freedom of the press ought not to be violated or restrained.That the militia should always be kept well organized, armed and disciplined, and include, according to past usages of the states, all the men capable of bearing arms, and that no regulations tending to render the general militia useless and defenceless, by establishing select corps of militia, or distinct bodies of military men, not having permanent interests or attachments to the community, ought to be made; and that the militia ought not to be subject to martial law except in time of war, invasion or rebellion; and that in all cases the militia should be under strict subordination to and governed by the civil power.That no soldier in time of peace ought to be quartered in any house without the consent of the owner, and in time of war, only by the civil magistrate in such manner as the laws may direct.That any person religiously scrupulous of bearing arms, ought to be.

"Congress shall make no law establishing articles of faith, or a mode of worship, or prohibiting the free exercise of religion,or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, or the right of…the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition to the government for a redress of grievances."After the House of Representatives proposed seventeen amendments ("Articles"), the Senate took up the debate and reduced the number to twelve. Even after the reduction, the House and Senate continued wrangling over language, especially in the third article (which would become the First Amendment) and the eighth article regarding trials (the Sixth Amendment).The Proceedings of Congress report in this issue is dated September 23, but the Journals of the House and Senate don't show action that day. This could provide new information on the timing of the debates, but at the least this reflects the House's agreement on September 21 to ten points proposed earlier by the Senate. They then established a conference to resolve sixteen other points of disagreement.On September 24, the House dropped its objections to the sixteen points, insisting only on changes in the third and eighth articles which currently stood as printed in this rare newspaper issue. Agreement on these two areas established the final Congressional text of the Bill of Rights. The Senate concurred on September 25, and the House re-affirmed its approval on September 28th when at least one engrossed copy was signed, marking the Bill of Rights' last legislative hurdle before being sent to the states for ratification. Partial Transcript - Bill of Rights text entirely on page 1Note: Differences between this and the final text are bracketed. As described above, these differences were decided after September 21 and before September 24 in committee.]In the Senate of the United States/ September 23, 1789/ AMENDMENTS to the CONSTITUTION.The Conventions of a number of the states having at the time of their adopting the Constitution, expressed a desire, in order to prevent misconstruction or abuse of its powers, that further declaratory and restrictive clauses should be added. And as extending the ground of public confidence in the government, will best insure the beneficent ends of its institution:-Resolved, by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, two-thirds of both Houses concurring, That the following articles be proposed to the Legislatures of the several States, as AMENDMENTS to the CONSTITUTION of the United States, all or any of which articles, when ratified by three-fourths of the said legislatures, to be valid to all intents and purposes, as part of the said Constitution, viz.ArticlesIn addition to, and amendment of, the Constitution of the United States of America, proposed by Congress, and ratified by the legislatures of the several States, pursuant to the fifth Article of the original Constitution.Article First.

[Minor differences between this and final text. Never ratified.]Art. Second.

(p2/c1)Historical BackgroundOn June 21, 1788, New Hampshire became the ninth state to ratify the Constitution, putting the new government in motion. In September the Confederation Congress certified that the new Constitution had been ratified by more than enough states for it to go into effect (Virginia and New York had ratified in the interim).
