About This Item
1832. QUINCY, Josiah. AN ADDRESS DELIVERED AT THE DEDICATION OF DANE LAW COLLEGE IN HARVARD UNIVERSITY, October 23, 1832. Cambridge: E. W. Metcalf and Company, printers to the university. 1832. Presentation copy; inscribed top right: "With the respects of the author." [4],27 pp. 8vo. Original grey paper wrappers bound into grey boards backed in grey cloth, with hand-written title at spine. A very good copy overall, but with light marginal foxing throughout, being a bit heavier on the initial pages, and with light soiling to wrappers. In 1829, Nathan Dane (1752-1835) endowed Harvard Law School with the Dane Professorship of Law and, in 1830, he gave the school a new building. Josiah Quincy, President of Harvard University, spoke at the dedication of Dane Hall expressing the gratitude of the university to its benefactor, and about the "science of law" and its connection with Harvard University.
