Stuart, Edwin Sydney, 1853-1920. Papers, 1886-1905.

Title: Papers, 1886-1905.

The bulk of the collection is correspondence, 1886-1905. Some of this material is concerned with Stuart's business, Leary's Bookstore; the majority, however, covers his political activities as a member of Republican organizations, as a Select Councilman, and as Mayor of Philadelphia. Some of the issues are: Stalwart Republicanism, powers of favorable press, city improvements--especially concerning street pavements, and political loyalty over business qualifications. John Wanamaker, Matthew Quay, and Simon Cameron are among Stuart's influential constituents. Business and political papers make up a small part of the collection. Invoices, receipts, and insurance information of Leary, Stuart and Co. may be found among the business papers. More significant are the political papers which include endorsements for the Mayoralty in support of Stuart. One endorsement comes from " a group of colored voters from West Philadelphia calling themselves the Edwin S. Stuart Club." Invitations and announcements for various social functions complete the collection.

Carson, Hampton L. (Hampton Lawrence), 1852-1929. Hampton L. Carson papers, 1715-1941; bulk 1870-1930.

Title: Hampton L. Carson papers, 1715-1941; bulk 1870-1930.

A diverse amount of materials related to the legal profession and to Carson's many personal interests are contained in this collection. Legal practice correspondence and dockets extend from 1871 until 1941; beginning around 1920, however, the materials in this series increasingly pertain to the legal work of his son, Joseph Carson. Documents exist from Hampton Carson's tenures as attorney general of Pennsylvania, as president of the American Bar Association, and as president of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania. His work with the 1887 Constitutional Centennial Commission and with the Pennsylvania Commission on Constitutional Amendment and Revision are also represented, as are his affiliations with many law and historical organizations. The nearly one thousand political cartoons in this collection, which were clipped from newspapers and span the years 1863-1904, primarily depict Governor Samuel W. Pennypacker, Senator Matthew S. Quay, and Senator Boies Penrose. Carson's portrait collection of lawyers, judges, and statesmen contains images of well over one hundred notable men, and his letters and ephemera collection contains handwriting samples, newspaper clippings, and other materials related to many of the same men.
