Description
Up for sale is an original 1889 government publication containing the Revised and Amended Rules of Practice in Cases and Proceedings before the Interstate Commerce Commission, adopted June 8, 1889, and printed in Washington by the Government Printing Office.
Established in 1887 to regulate the railroad industry, the ICC was one of the first major regulatory agencies in United States history. This scarce 1889 edition outlines procedural rules, public sessions (held at the Sun Building on F Street in Washington, D.C.), witness deposition instructions, and sample legal forms involving railroad companies. Features the official printed attestation of Edward A. Moseley, long-serving Secretary of the ICC.
An exceptional piece for collectors of railroad memorabilia, early federal regulatory law, Government Printing Office ephemera, or 19th-century American legal history.
Condition Details
Exterior: Original off-white paper cover with clean, dark letterpress printing and decorative border. Light toning along margins.
Interior: Complete and extraordinarily clean text block. Pages show crisp typography with minimal age toning and no significant foxing.
Binding: Original sewn pamphlet binding remains intact and tight.
Please review all listing photos for exact physical condition. Ships flat, board-reinforced in a rigid mailer.
