An extraordinary, museum-grade Association Copy of A Quest for International Order (1941), originating from the private library of the late D.C. scholar Stanley Dutton Willis (1928 –2024). This volume serves as a breathtaking, 3-dimensional archive capturing the lifelong friendship between two pioneering legal minds of early 20th-century Washington, D.C. • Title: A Quest for International Order • Author: Jackson H. Ralston (Renowned International Arbitrator & Scholar) • Publisher: J. Byrne & Co., Washington D.C. (1941, First Edition) • Provenance: The personal estate of the Willis Family, Washington D.C. Provenance： 1. The SCOTUS Partnership Inscription: The flyleaf features a poignant, hand-written inscription by the author himself to his long-time D.C. law partner: “To my past Partner at the Law, Stanley D. Willis, With Best Wishes of Jackson H. Ralston. Feb 1946.” Ralston and Willis were formidable allies who famously co-signed briefs and argued landmark cases together before the U.S. Supreme Court (such as Truax v. Corrigan). 2. The 1928 Time-Capsule Letter: Tucked perfectly inside is a priceless piece of history—a typed letter on Ralston’s personal Palo Alto stationery, hand-signed by Jackson H. Ralston on June 23, 1928. The letter warmly congratulates his partner on the birth of his son, Stanley Dutton Willis. 3. The Ultimate Association Loop: The baby boy celebrated in this 1928 letter grew up to become a legendary history master in Washington D.C., preserving this very letter and his father's law partner's book for his entire 95-year life. 【Condition】 A true "working library" volume. The original red cloth boards show character-rich vintage wear and prominent ring/water staining on the cover, telling the story of decades of scholarly appreciation. Binding remains tight and pages are clean. Sold as a complete, inseparable historical archive. [中文商品描述] 本書出自華盛頓DC聖阿爾班斯學校（St. Albans School）傳奇歷史名師斯坦利·達頓·威利斯（Stanley Dutton Willis, 1928–2024）的家族私人藏書。這不是一本普通的法律舊書，而是一冊極具「法學歷史檔案價值」的頂級關聯本（Association Copy），完美封存了20世紀初美國法律界兩大巨擘跨越17年的深厚交情。 • 書名： 《國際秩序的追求》（A Quest for International Order） • 著者： 傑克遜·H·羅爾斯頓（Jackson H. Ralston，美國早期著名國際仲裁法先驅） • 版本： 1941年華盛頓 J. Byrne & Co. 出版社精裝第一版 • 來源： 華盛頓特區 Willis 家族珍藏遺物 【烘托賣點：不可複製的三大收藏價值】 1. 美國最高法院共同辯護律師的「聯名」題詞： 本書作者 Jackson H. Ralston 與受贈人 Stanley D. Willis 是20世紀初活躍於華盛頓DC的頂級律所合夥人，曾並肩在美國最高法院為多起歷史性重大案件（如 Truax v. Corrigan 等案）出庭辯護。作者於扉頁親筆留墨：“贈予我當年的律師事務所合夥人 Stanley D. Willis……” 2. 時空膠囊——1928年親筆簽名賀信： 書內完好夾帶了一封1928年6月23日由作者從加州寄給合夥人的親筆簽名信。信中，大律師羅爾斯頓用極其真摯幽默的筆觸，祝賀合夥人威利斯在結婚15年後終於喜得貴子（即本書後來的擁有者 Stanley Dutton Willis，和父親同名）。 3. 跨越一個半世紀的命運閉環： 1928年信中祝賀的那個男嬰，長大後成為了特區一代歷史學名師，他將這封關於自己誕生、承載著父親與前輩友情的重要信件，與書籍妥善保存了一生，直至2024年以95歲高齡仙逝。 【品相說明】 原裝紅色布面精裝，外觀帶有明顯的歷史歲月痕跡，封面有學者研讀時留下的水漬/磨損圈，這恰恰賦予了此書無可替代的歷史滄桑感與生命力。內頁裝訂牢固，字跡清晰。本書與1928年原版手書賀信，作為不可分割的整體文獻一同出售，是法律收藏家、學術界老錢藏家書齋陳列的絕佳極品。 Show more
