[Rarebooks] FS: 1854 Daniel Webster Birthday Anniversary Dinner Admission Card

[Joslin Hall Rare Books, Ephemera & Photographs]

1854 Daniel Webster Birthday Anniversary Dinner Admission Card, Made Out 
to Massachusetts' Last Whig Governor.

A ticket for the 1854 Birthday Commemoration held by the Massachusetts 
Webster Association, at the Revere House. Webster had died in 1852.

This ticket is made out to Henry Washburn, who was governor of 
Massachusetts at the time. “Emory Washburn (1800-1877) was a United 
States lawyer, politician, and historian. After serving several years in 
the state legislature, he was elected governor in 1853. Despite his 
support for a reform-minded agenda, he was swept out of office on the 
Know Nothing tide in 1854. Washburn joined the faculty of Harvard Law in 
1856, where he was a popular and influential figure until his retirement 
in 1876. His history of the early years of the Massachusetts Supreme 
Judicial Court is still considered a foundational work on the subject” 
[Wikipedia]. Washburn was also Massachusetts’ last Whig Governor.

Card. 4.25”x2.75”. Some soil and minor wear. Removed from an album with 
glue points and residue on the back.  {48115}  $125
