(Fish). CATALOGUE OF LIBRARY OF HAMILTON FISH, 251 EAST 17TH STREET, NEW YORK.
Scribner's, [NY: 1894]. Hamilton Fish (1808-1893) served in various state offices in New York, as governor, 1848-1850, as United States senator, 1851-1857, and as Secretary of State under Grant, 1869-1877. "The most notable achievement of Fish's administration [of the latter] office was the settlement of the controversy with Great Britain over damages suffered by Northern commerce during the Civil War through the British government's conduct as a neutral" (DAB). His library of some 3500 volumes, as catalogued here, was typically Victorian, and included many multi-volume sets of standard authors, classical and contemporary, and extensive selections in English and European history; there was also a strong representation of law and legal history and Americana. Among the highlights were THE FEDERALIST (NY, 1788), the 1787 Stockdale edition of Jefferson's NOTES ON THE STATE OF VIRGINIA, the 1856 edition of AUDUBON'S BIRDS OF AMERICA, W.H. Jackson's PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK (Washington, 1873), several incunabula, and a number of manuscripts. The printed catalogue includes 1061 lots, almost all single items or single multi-volume sets; for each item, author, title, place and date of publication, size, binding details, provenance (when known), and appraised value are given. On a facing page, columns are devoted to each of the estate's heirs, Fish's six living children and the trustees for the children of a deceased seventh child. Assignment for each title is recoded in one of the columns and running totals for each beneficiary are recorded at the bottom of each page. The appraisal was conducts by "Mr. North" of Charles Scribner's Sons; the library was valued at approximately $8300. Folio. 53-double-page sheets, formatted as a spreadsheet, with manuscript additions, dividing the library into seven lots. Laid in are three "Supplementary Catalogues" (folio, each with 10 manuscript spreadsheets similar to the printed catalogue), five manuscript working papers, and a 3- page typed letter from S. Webster concerning the appraisal and division. Original half-leather (spine completely eroded) and marbled boards, paper label with manuscript title, "Original partition of books by Scribner's," on upper cover.
