Partly-printed DS as president, two pages, 11.25 x 14.5, March 18, 1834. A patent issued to Isaac Robinson, who “hath alleged that he has invented a new and useful improvement in the mode of Softening Hides and Skins for Tanning & Dressing which improvement he states has not been known or used before his application…These are therefore to grant, according to law, to the said Isaac Robinson his heirs, administrators or assigns, for the term of fourteen years, from the eighteenth day of March one thousand eight hundred and thirty four the full and exclusive right and liberty of making, constructing, using and vending to others to be used, the said improvement; a description whereof is given in the words of the said Isaac Robinson himself, in the schedule hereto annexed.” Second page bears a lengthy detailed description of the improvement, written and signed by Robinson. In good condition, with trimmed top edge to first page, intersecting folds, one through a single letter of signature, small hole along fold of both pages, scattered creasing, toning, and soiling, most of Jackson’s large signature and handwritten text on first page a shade light, some of Robinson’s writing light, but legible, binding holes to left edges. The white wafer seal is worn and toned, but intact.
The “new and useful improvement in the mode of Softening Hides and Skins for Tanning & Dressing” included a solution comprised of potash, lime, salt, salt peter, and muriatric acid, in which hides and skins were submerged. While Jackson was signing this innovative document, he was simultaneously thrust into the spotlight when the Senate launched a proposed censure upon the president for refusal to turn over his cabinet’s documents. Just three years earlier, Jackson made a move to dismantle the Bank of the United States; in 1831, he vetoed the Senate’s renewal of the bank’s charter, and the subsequent meeting with his cabinet produced the classified documents the Senate now demanded. On March 28th, after 10 days of deliberation in Congress, Jackson became the first president to be publicly and officially censured. A truly pinnacle day in history, on all accounts!
