Book Description
Excerpt from Illustrated Programme of the Centennial Celebration in New York, April, 1889: 1789, 1889 How the Centennial Anniversary of the Inauguration of President Washington Will Be Celebrated - Throngs of Visitors from Every State in the Union Will Crowd the Streets - The Harbor Resplendent With Men-of-War and Merchant Marine Rich with Bunting - Military Organizations and Industrial Exhibits in Two Monster Processions - The Magnificent Decorations Which Will Span the Streets Along the Line of March - Arrangements for the Reception of President Harrison as on the Day when Washington Arrived - The Ball at the Metropolitan Opera-House and the Big Banquet - A Valuable Art Exhibit of Old Historic Paintings - The Men Who Have Arranged the Programmes. A programme for the approaching Centennial Celebration of the Inauguration of George Washington was first put forward early in February of 1888, or something more than fourteen months ago. It was a very modest affair compared with the official programme which was finally adopted and printed about ten days ago. It suggested in the first place that the celebration be confined if possible to one day, that is to say, April 30, 1889, pointing out. however, that it might be necessary to have the naval parade in the harbor on the afternoon of the day before. The naval parade, according to this original plan, would be participated in by vessels belonging to the United States and foreign countries, such as France. England, and Germany, which would (still according to the programme) be especially interested in the event. The accent was probably contemplated to fall on England in making this statement. In addition to the naval parade it was proposed to have a grand military parade in which military organizations from the different cities, as well as from New York State and New York City, should be invited to lake part. Other suggestions were as follows: The different trades should also be invited to take part in the parade. Some formal exercises should take place on the steps of the Sub-Treasury, where Washington was inaugurated, and also in St. Paul's Church, where Washington attended service on the date of his inauguration. Possibly in addition some further literary exercises should be held at the Metropolitan Opera-House, including, among other things, an oration and a poem. After the literary exercises were over and the parade had taken place it would be a good idea to have a banquet in the evening which the President of the United Slates and other guests invited should attend.

Book Description
Excerpt from Souvenir of the Centennial Celebration of Washington's Inauguration: Held in New York City, April 29th and 30th, 1889 From the balcony of the hall that stood where the statue now is, the Declaration of Independence was first read to the citizens of New York; the Continental Congress sat here in its closing days, and here the first Federal Congress assembled. America offered no place more becoming and more honorably identified than this with the history of American liberty. The scene around is marvellously changed by the flight of years and modern progress, from the colonial, the provincial, the revolutionary city. The street is transformed from the resort of fashion, the seat of government, the modest and quiet residence of merchants, statesmen and diplomatists, which was the Wall street in the days of our forefathers. Then it was the social and political heart of a small and struggling community; now it is the financial nerve centre of America. The bustling, roaring street is but a picture painted over. Under the kaleidoscopic characters of the maelstrom of speculative life and of eager trade constantly traced upon the pavements of the modern metropolis, lies the undimmed and indelible patriotic record of old New York.

Book Description
"During the past 150 years, the American Numismatic Society has been a leader in the publication of art medals in the United States. Generally employing the finest medalists available, the Society has set an example few can match. In addition, with the exception of the United States Mint, no U.S. entity can boast so long and distinguished a contribution in this area. Founded in 1858, the American Numismatic and Archaeological Society, as it was known from 1864-1907, believed the issuance of medals to be a part of its mission from the earliest years of its existence. Author Scott H. Miller includes 60 medals issued by the ANS between 1865 and 2014 along with two COAC medals and the 1910 Actors' Fund Medal, all accompanied by color photographs. Many entries are supplemented by artist's sketches and archival photographs as well as the stories behind each issue. Four Appendixes include recipients of some of these medals as well as the list of dies, hubs, galvanos, and casts of ANS medals in the ANS's own collection."
