Soft cover. Condition: Poor. First Thus. 1857 Washington printing said to be issued at or about the same time as the New York edition. Original string-tied printed wraps. LACKING ORIGINAL PAPER COVERS, TITLE PAGE, AND LAST LEAF (page 239) the last two of which have been replaced by your bookseller as new pages. In this famous and convoluted case Scott, a slave who had also lived in free Wisconsin Territory and Illinois, sued for his freedom (as did his wife). A lower court in Missouri ruled in his favor. This ruling was reversed by the Missouri Supreme Court, whereupon Scott appealed to the US Supreme Court where he lost in a 7-2 decision when the winds of slavery politics blew to smithereens the up-to-then accepted "doctrine" that, "once free" (as in having lived in a free state or territory), "always free." This decision has come down through US history as one of the biggest failures of the US Supreme Court. As noted above, the title page is missing. I have supplied. cutting to proper dimension, a modern page of the same, which is laid in. This copy is also missing the last page (p.339), but I have supplied the entire text of the last page and also cut it to proper dimension and laid it in. Otherwise the copy, string-tied as noted, has water tidelines upper half of the first leaf, which tideline extends to a decreasing degree into the 63pps. Clarity of readability is not compromised. Quite minor foxing to a few margins. Minor edge chipping to first and last pages. To be obviously handled with care, but a quite serviceable reading copy if you desire this text in its original form pps (3) - 228. Very scarce. This document in book form is #68 in the famed Grolier Club's One Hundred Influential American Books Printed before 1900 published in 1947.…

First Edition. Dred Scott was the most controversial Supreme Court decision of the 19th century, and is its most famous decision involving slavery. In Scott v. Sandford, the court ruled that African Americans could not be citizens, and that a key provision of the Missouri Compromise Act of 1820 was unconstitutional. This decision made the outbreak of Civil War four years later almost inevitable, and is widely regarded as the worst decision in the Court's history. This is the first public appearance of all nine opinions that comprise that infamous decision, prepared by the Court's official reporter of decisions, Benjamin C. Howard. Counterintuitively, this New York Appleton imprint precedes the well-known Washington, DC imprint of Cornelius Wendell. The work of scholar Douglas W. Lind has conclusively shown that Wendell's DC imprint was not issued until well into 1858, despite its imprint date of 1857, and that Howard printed this New York Appleton imprint to prevent a Congressionally sanctioned offprint of the individual decision from undercutting sales of his annual bound volume of court decisions. Great significance therefore attaches to this New York imprint by Appleton, as it was this edition alone that the public and legal scholars had access to in 1857 and upon which their early commentaries are based. Ref. HOWES S218; SABIN 78261; FINKELMAN p. 49; LIND pp. ix-xiii, etc. Bound in full calf over boards with thin ornamental border rules stamped in blind. Gilt-stamped red leather title label on spine. Mild age toning inside, a bit of browning to endpapers, a few shallow extremity bumps, and a slight dime-sized blemish to lower fore corner of lower board. A beautifully preserved copy of this important 19th century turning point. Original full calf over boards. Octavo. [4], [393]-633, [1], [leaf of publisher ads].…
