<p><b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:windowtext'>CHESTER A. ARTHUR </span></b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Arial; color:windowtext'>(1830-1886). Twenty-first President of the United States (1881-85) ascending to the presidency after the assassination of James A. Garfield. His signature “<i>C. A. Arthur</i>” boldly penned on the front flyleaf of the text-book <i>Greek Grammar</i> by Philip Buttman, 336pp, 8vo, Cumm-ings, Hilliard, and Company, Boston, 1826. Most probably used by Arthur in his days as a student at Union Academy, he has added a Latin phrase apparently indicating that the book was from his library. General light toning of interior text; occasional light foxing; front cover of leather binding lacking; back cover and spine heavily worn.</span></p>
