| | The Samuel D. Langtree American Pamphlets Collection (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03) |
 | | Sometime after 1839, Samuel D. Langtree, a Washington, D.C., publisher, gathered an eclectic group of almost 900 speeches, annual reports, state and federal documents, sermons, travel accounts, single issues of periodicals, and essays on every subject imaginable and cased them in a serviceable half calf binding. |
 | | Little is known about the compiler of the American Pamphlets, Samuel Langtree, except that he was in partnership in Washington with one O'Sullivan and that their firm flourished from 1837 to the late 1840's. |
 | | Some of the pamphlets Langtree collected and bound up were presented to him by the author or publisher. |
