<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KosmoCramer, post: 10791470, member: 4089&quot;]Hello all!</p><p><br /></p><p>I picked up this book on Sunday.&nbsp; It is John Tyler’s 1841 address to both houses of Congress, plus a dozen plus 1842 Congressional speeches - most relating to Tariffs and Presidential Veto power (one being from John Van Buren of New York).</p><p><br /></p><p>On the last page of one of the speeches “M Van Buren” is signed on the top of the page -PHOTO ATTACHED- After checking online Martin Van Buren appears to have had 2 different signatures during his life.&nbsp; The writing in my book perfectly matches one of them.</p><p><br /></p><p>As mentioned, a speech from a John Van Buren is the second one in the book.&nbsp; Further in the book, written on top of another page is “Hon John Van Buren.”</p><p><br /></p><p>Now I wonder, could this possibly have been Martin Van Buren’s book? Who else at that time would have had a large compilation of congressional and presidential speeches from one congressional term, other than a politician?</p><p><br /></p><p>Photos attached, any help appreciated.&nbsp; If you are familiar with books like this would anyone have a potential value?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]534544[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]534545[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]534546[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]534547[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]534548[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]534549[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]534550[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]534551[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
