The book has a musty smell, and heavy foxing, age spots/age stains and age darkening, the spine is fragile, but all pages are intact. Old water stain at the top of the first few pages. Some light pencil writing in some margins. Copperplate writing on the front facing page- "Lewis Pierce-1842-Lexington, Fayette County (Kentucky) and below that " L. Peirce (mis-spelled???)

This report was presented, but due to the circumstances listed below, it had to be tabled until the next session.: From the great accumulation and pressure of business before the House of Assembly, it proved impossible to call the Bill up for consideration until within a few days of the adjournment. The same cause rendered it also necessary for its friends to allow it to pass to the vote without debate — without even a reply to three adverse speeches, of a character calculated to be extremely prejudicial to its success. Notwithstanding these unfavorable circumstances, on the first vote (that of ordering the Bill to its third reading) it was carried in the affirmative by a majority of five, the vote being, Ayes 57, Noes 52. Unfortunately it could not be brought up for the vote on its final passage until a late hour of a night session, when, from the physical exhaustion of a large number of Members, the attendance was very thin. It was then lost by the same majority of five, the vote being, Ayes 47, Noes 52. Among the absentees there was a large preponderance of its friends and if the House had been full, it would been carried by a decisive majority. At that period of the session, and under the forms and rules of procedure of the body, a reconsideration Was impossible, and it became necessary to let the subject lie over till the next session.
