Description

Book of Supreme Court decisions owned by both Buchanan and William Henry Harrison

Signed book: Reports of Cases Argued and Adjudged in the Supreme Court of the United States in August and December Terms, 1801, and February Term, 1803. Vol. I. Second edition. NY: C. Wiley, 1812. Hardcover, 5.5 x 8.5, 479 pages. Top of the title page bears Buchanan’s ownership signature, “James Buchanan,” and the front pastedown bears a personal bookplate of William Henry Harrison. Autographic condition: very good, with moderate toning to signed page, a mostly removed signature under Buchanan’s, and a couple of light bends and creases. Book condition: VG-, nicely repaired with new leather along spine and edges. Buchanan was in fact nominated to the court in 1844, but declined. An interesting title with the unique distinction of being owned by two former early chief executives.
