1892 Notebook of Handwritten/Typewritten 'Minutes of General Committee 
on Inaugural Ceremonies' for the Grover Cleveland Inauguration.

An interesting notebook with a combination of handwritten and 
carbon-copies of typewritten minutes of several meetings of the 
Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies as preparations were underway for the 
2nd (non-consecutive) term of President Grover Cleveland. This was kept 
by Alexander Porter Morse, who served as Secretary to the Committee. 
Morse was a prominent lawyer before both U.S. and international courts, 
whose main claim to fame today was that he represented Louisiana before 
the US Supreme Court in the Plessy v. Ferguson case in 1896. The first 
leaf of the notebook contains handwritten notes for the ceremonies at 
Cleveland's first inauguration in 1886.

Canvas-covered semi-limp notebook. 7"x8". 1 blank leaf; 10 leaves of 
double-sided handwritten notes; 18 leaves of single-sided notes, 
consisting on carbon copies of typescript cut from larger pages and 
affixed to these pages with small tips of glue; 10 blank leaves; a final 
leaf with several handwritten notes on one side. General wear and soil, 
glue stains. With- the 'Final Report' hardcover book of the inaugural 
ceremonies, quite worn and water- stained, but with Alexander Porter 
Morse's name on the endpaper. [41639] $475
