Greetings Booklovers,

~
(No. 11238 )  Lamson, Alvan. A DISCOURSE, DELIVERED AT DEDHAM, MAY 14, 1841, 
THE DAY OF THE NATIONAL FAST, ON OCCASION OF THE DEATH OF WILLIAM HENRY 
HARRISON, LATE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.
Dedham: H. Mann, Book and Job Printer, 1841. First printing, Pamphlet, 
Octavo, 23 pages. Near Fine.
      William Henry Harrison was the first American president to die in 
office, and this is a eulogy preached at the First Church in Dedham, 
Massachusetts. At just over 1 month, Harrison's presidential term remains 
the shortest in U.S. history. Harrison also remained the oldest person to be 
elected president until Ronald Reagan's election in 1980. The orator here, 
Dr. Lamson, had been involved in the famous "Dedham Case" which advanced the 
separation of church and state. This pamphlet is bound in green paper covers 
with title printed on front cover. Shallow chips at bottom edge of front 
cover, a few light stains and corner creases to covers. Contemporary prior 
owner name penned at top fore corner of title page. Light scattered foxing 
inside....... $50.00
