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

[Joslin Hall Books & Ephemera]

1854 Daniel Webster Birthday Anniversary Dinner Admission Card.

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.

4.25”x2.75”. Some soil and minor wear. Removed from an album with glue  
points and residue on the back. $85
