THE SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES, WITH AUTOGRAPHS OF THE NINE JUSTICES WHO SERVED TOGETHER FROM 1932 TO 1937 UNDER CHIEF JUSTICE CHARLES EVANS HUGHES

1937 · Washington, D.C.

by United States Supreme Court
Washington, D.C., 1937. [2], 13, [1 blank] pp. Original printed title wrappers. Very Good.

The verso of the title wrapper has the signatures of the Justices: Hughes, Willis Van Devanter, J.C. McReynolds, Louis D. Brandeis, Geo. Sutherland, Pierce Butler, Harlan Stone, Owen Roberts, Benjamin M. Cardozo.
The Justices sign in a vertical column, Chief Justice Hughes at the top, the others in order of seniority. This Hughes Court served together for five years in some discomfort. Justice McReynolds refused to sit next to Justice Brandeis, where he belonged in order of seniority, because McReynolds hated Jews. When Benjamin Cardozo came on the Court, McReynolds refused to attend the swearing in, exclaiming, "My God, another Jew on the Court." [See, e.g., Diamond, Historically Yours - Justice James C. McReynolds: An Anti-Semite, Racist and Misogynist. 13 August 2018. Miami Community News online.]. (Inventory #: 40450)
