A Rare Component of a Lengthy Property Dispute [Miller, Rutger Bleecker (1805-1877)]. Letter in Relation to the Trinity Church Property in the City of New York. Albany: H.H. Van Dyck, Printer, 1855. 13 pp. Octavo (9" x 5-1/2"). Stab-stitched pamphlet in printed wrappers. Moderate toning, horizontal fold line, light soiling and a few faint stains and fold lines to wrappers, rear wrapper near-detached, occasional light foxing. $150. * Only edition. A rare part of the extensive debate and litigation over the question of Trinity Church's title to the King's Farm property. First leased to it in 1705 by Queen Anne, the property had become an enormously valuable portion of downtown Manhattan by the mid-19th century and the State of New York sought to claim the title. Miller was a prominent Utica lawyer and a member of the House of Representatives. His Letter was reprinted along with other related documents as Letter and Authentic Documentary Evidence in Relation to the Trinity Church Property in the City of New York later in 1855. OCLC locates 3 copies of this title (New York Historical Society, New York State Library, American Antiquarian Society). Not in Cohen.…
