171 MCKENNEY, THOMAS L. AND JAMES HALL History of the Indian Tribes of North America, with Biographical Sketches and Anecdotes of the Principal Chiefs. Philadelphia: Frederick W. Greenough, 1838; Daniel Rice and James G. Clark, 1844.

3 vols. Folio, contemporary 3/4 brown morocco over marbled boards, Louis Philippe I copy with his monogram, featuring the initials “LP” surmounted by a crown, gilt-stamped to spine in four compartments, original buff endpapers. Housed in custom cloth clamshell cases with titles in gilt to leather spine labels. First edition. Complete with 120 hand-colored lithographed plates heightened with gum arabic, and black and white fold-out lithographed map to vol. 3.

Originally issued to Louis Philippe I, King of France during the July Monarchy, a tumultuous period during which the bourgeoisie dominated and which marked a shift in the basis of legitimate power from divine right to popular support. Late in his reign the king’s popularity began to decline. In 1848, social unrest escalated into revolution, the fall of the monarchy, and the establishment of the Second Republic. Louis Philippe was forced to abdicate the French throne in 1848 and flee to England where he lived the remainder of his life in exile. After his death, his family sold his belongings, including the present copy of this work, at auction in 1852. In 1821, Thomas McKenney, Superintendent of the United States Indian Trade Office (1816-1822), Superintendent of Indian Affairs (1822-1824), and the first director of the Office of Indian Affairs, began to commission artist Charles Bird King to produce portraits of Native Americans who had traveled to Washington, D.C. as delegates to negotiate treaties with the federal government. McKenney then commissioned lithographs of the paintings to be published in three volumes, each portrait to be accompanied by a biography of the subject, written by James Hall, author, judge and Treasurer of Illinois. The publication was never fully completed due to the high cost of the subscription fees. In the winter of 1865, 295 of the original Indian portraits completed for the project, in storage at the Smithsonian Institution, were destroyed in a fire, and only five survived. Due to the work of McKenney, Hall and King, before and after the fire, the current work is considered one of “the grandest color plate books issued in the United States up to the time of its publication... “ (Reese).

180* GREENER, RICHARD T. Partially printed document, one page, on vellum, being the original Bachelor of Arts diploma for Richard Theodore Greener from Harvard College, June 28, 1870.

Richard Greener (1844-1922) was the first African-American graduate of Harvard College. After studying at Oberlin and Andover, Greener enrolled in Harvard in 1865, where he won two Bowdoin Prizes as an undergraduate. Following his graduation with honors, Greener taught philosophy at the University of South Carolina, from which he was able to obtain his law degree in 1876. He was admitted to the South Carolina bar in 1878 and later became the dean of the department of law at Howard University. Greener was appointed secretary of the Grant Memorial Association in New York in 1885 and, later, U.S. commercial agent at Vladivostok in Siberia by President McKinley in 1898. He retired from office and foreign service in 1905 and lived with cousins in Chicago until his death in 1922. Greener’s daughter, called Belle da Costa Greene, was an expert in medieval manuscripts who worked directly with J.P. Morgan at the Morgan Library in New York and is said to have been the mistress of the art historian and critic, Bernard Berenson. Richard Greener’s personal papers, previously thought to have been lost during the San Francisco earthquake of 1906, were recovered in recent years by the present owner from a home in Chicago. A portion of the documents were sold to the University of South Carolina.

The first African-American graduate of Harvard College, the first African-American faculty member at University of South Carolina, and an intellectual luminary in Reconstruction-period America, Greener was a pioneer of social and racial equality in the racially divided South. His Harvard diploma, a document of incalculable historical significance, has never before been offered at public auction. 14 5/8 x 19 5/8 inches Property from the Collection of Rufus McDonald, Chicago, Illinois $10,000-15,000
