To the / Adopted Citizens of the United States [caption title, followed by12 paragraphs of text printed in two columns].
np, NP: nd [1812?]. Impassioned 1812 presidential election address, reminding immigrants from England and its dominions of the support of, first the Jefferson administration, and presently that of Madison, framing the election to come as one between accommodationist Federalists versus Republicans who would continue to assert the rights of adopted citizens in their new country. "The pretensions of Britain will be regulated by our election. If Americans abandon their government, she will prove obstinate and arrogant in her demands - but if we are united in the cause of our country, her necessities must impel her to yield - to recognize the principles of naturalization - and to respect the rights of the adopted citizen." A primary concern for "adopted citizens" was the impressment of sailors by British crews, heightened by the 1807 Chesapeake incident, when four seamen were taken from that ship by a press gang from the H.M.S. Leopard. "The conflict between inalienable allegiance, held to by England, and the new, revolutionary American doctrine of the right of the individual to change his allegiance made an insuperable difficulty … the British left the matter of determining nationality to the discretion of the press gangs and boarding officers … in 1812 Congress alleged impressment to be the principal cause of war" (Dictionary of American History). This broadside provides an example from the 1812 election campaigning. Not recorded in Sabin or American Imprints or on OCLC. Printed broadside, 13 1/2 x 8 inches, the title separated from the text by a double rule. Tear in upper margin, tiny burn hole in margin, but an attractive untrimmed copy.

Overton, John [and John Haywood]. TENNESSEE REPORTS, OR CASES RULED AND ADJUDGED IN THE SUPERIOR COURTS OFLAW & EQUITY, AND FEDERAL COURTS FOR THE STATE OF TENNESSEE.
Knoxville: (1813-1818). First editions. Overton published the first two volumes in collaboration with fellow Judge Thomas Emmerson (who appears as editor, signing the front advertisement in type). It was the first official compilation of published decisions by Tennessee's highest courts. Overton was a close friend and business partner of Andrew Jackson, and represented Sumner County as a delegate to the 1789 North Carolina convention to ratify the U.S. Constitution. He removed to Tennessee in 1795, when President Washington appointed him supervisor of revenue for the District of Tennessee, Territory South of the River Ohio. In 1804, Overton became a member of the Superior Court of Tennessee, and in 1810 a judge on the Tennessee Supreme Court of Errors and Appeals. He helped organize Andrew Jackson's candidacy for the Presidency in the early 1820's.Haywood is best known for his two major books of Tennessee history, THE NATURAL AND ABORIGINAL HISTORY OF TENNESSEE and THE CIVIL AND POLITICAL HISTORY OF TENNESSEE. He also edited two earlier North Carolina Reports. Haywood exemplifies the frontier jurist. He had little formal education and taught himself law through reading the English law books of the time. He proved a most adept student and soon gained the respect of the legal community in his native North Carolina. Personal legal problems evolving from a bribe brought him to the Tennessee frontier. These three volumes constitute a complete set of all his Tennessee reports. Ownership signatures of Thos. Hardeman, Henry Nixon, Will Fitzgerald, J.H. Russell, and J. Bile in the different volumes. Thomas Hardeman (whose signature is in the first volume) was a Colonel and veteran of the War of 1812. He served as first county court clerk of Hardeman County, Tennessee, which was so named in his honor. The other names are represented in Tennessee families, but we were unable to specifically identify the signatures. A set of five volumes of the REPORTS, published between 1813-1818. The first two volumes were collected by Overton, the last three by John Haywood. Volume 1: [printed for the Proprietor, G. Wilson, Printer, 1813], 20cm.; (8), 535, (1), xxi, (2). Volume 2: [printed for the Proprietor, by T.G. Bradford, 1817], 20cm.; (8), 436, (22) [tear across last page of index archivally repaired]. Volume 3: REPORTS OF CASES ARGUED AND ADJUDGED IN THE COURT OF ERRORS AND APPEALS OF THE STATE OF TENNESSEE, FROM THE YEAR 1816 TO 1817, by John Haywood. [Knoxville: printed by Heiskell & Brown, 1818], 20cm.; (2), vi, 319, (1), (24pp. index). Volume 4: REPORTS OF CASES, RULED AND DECIDED BY THE SUPREME COURT OF ERRORS & APPEALS FOR THE STATE OF TENNESSEE. [Nashville, (T): printed for the author by T.G. Bradford, 1818], 17cm.; viii, 300, plus xxiv pp. (index). Volume 5: REPORTS OF CASES, RULED AND DECIDED BY THE SUPREME COURT OF ERRORS & APPEALS FOR THE STATE OF TENNESSEE.
