‎Slavery and Abolition Smith Gerrit‎

‎Letter to William H. Seward March 13 1855‎

‎Peterboro: Self-Published 1855. First Edition. Single sheet folded 10 x 10 inches. Very Good. One of several public letters by Smith to Seward this one discussing the Fugitive Slave Law. Smith by the mid-1850s had grown increasingly frustrated by the abolitionist movement's willingness to compromise. Seward an early figure in the Republican party sought more gradual measures. Smith writes: "Instead of interpreting constitutions and statutes in the light of human rights you interpret human rights in the light of constitutions and statutes. I own that you stand as an antislavery man very far above most of our statesmen. but I would have you stand farther above them." Smith's growing impatience with the compromising nature of the abolitionist movement would later lead him to support the efforts of John Brown and the free-state movement in Kansas. "When most Liberty party leaders agreed to merge with more moderate antislavery factions to form the Free Soil party in 1848 Smith balked at what he regarded as abandonment of the abolitionist commitment to immediate emancipation." - ANB.

‎Stockholm: Carl Fr. Marquard 1802. Joints starting but firm unnumbered final contents page torn with loss and with rather basic paper repair; a worn but not unattractive copy. Small octavo wear to title-page and final text leaf contemporary half calf lending-library binding with original borrowing rules pasted to front paste-down Very uncommon: the first Swedish edition of this series of letters by the English clergyman and former slave-ship owner John Newton best known as the author of the hymn "Amazing Grace". The letters are written to Thomas Haweis co-founder of the London Missionary Society and the editor of the 1799 account of the Duff voyage to Tahiti. After a difficult career as a young man at sea Newton experienced a conversion in 1748 although for more than a decade he continued his association with slave-ships. It was not until 1764 that Thomas Haweis managed to get Newton the living for Olney in Buckinghamshire the same year that this work was first published in England An Authentic Narrative of some Remarkable and Interesting Particulars. Communicated in a series of letters to the Reverend Mr. Haweis. This Swedish translation is based on a German-language edition of 1791. Becoming a prominent abolitionist in 1788 Newton published Thoughts Upon the Slave Trade a horrific account of the Middle Passage. The main text of this work is in the form of a series of "Brefwet" or letters the first signed 12 January 1763 and the last 2 February 1763. Throughout there are numerous quotations from the Bible usually printed in bold and references to the main locations associated with the slave trade including notes on Sierra Leone Antigua and the West Indies.

Marginal dampstaining throughout scattered foxing some wear to boards good. First edition. 140 pp. 1 vols. 8vo. First edition of this report of this monumental Supreme Court decision regarding escaped slaves preceding by 15 years and rivaling in importance the Dred Scott case of 1857. "In Prigg the Court identified slavery as a core constitutional commitment with which states could not interfere. In this case the Court struck down northern states' 'personal liberty laws' established to protect alleged fugitive slaves from recapture without due process of law. When the professional 'slave catcher' Edward Prigg tried to remove Margaret Moran an alleged runaway he was unable to meet the burden of proof set out by Pennsylvania's 1826 Personal Liberty Law and failed to obtain the legal certificate permitting him to remove her. When Prigg proceeded to ignore this and removed Moran illegally to Maryland Pennsylvania convicted him of kidnapping. The US Supreme Court however overwhelmingly overturned Prigg's conviction 8-1 and pronounced state laws interfering with the return of alleged runaways a violation of the Fugitive Slave Clause."

These manuscript documents are signed by the three Constables deposed as witnesses. The testimony is taken at the law offices of Lysander G. Gordon. It seems that an individual who owed people money was forced to give the slaves to a sheriff and were then sold to William Knox in Southern Tennessee. However it appears that the slaves actually belonged to someone else. These documents try to sort though this mess. </p> books‎

‎Manuscript document certifying that no Negroes had been registered by Hugh Neilly under the laws passed for the gradual abolition of slavery.‎

‎<p>12 lines in brown ink with paper seal on sheet of paper 34x21 cm 13½x8¼". Signed by Thomas Hamilton clerk. Remnant of seal old folds with splitting along them normal aging and browning some offsetting very good overall. Amazing little document relating to the enforcement of Pennsylvania's groundbreaking effort to begin the abolition of slavery "An Act for the Gradual Abolition of Slavery" passed by the Pennsylvania legislature in 1780. The Act prohibited further importation of slaves into the state required Pennsylvania slaveholders to annually register their slaves with forfeiture for noncompliance and manumission for the enslaved and established that all children born in Pennsylvania were free persons regardless of the condition or race of their parents. Those enslaved in Pennsylvania before the 1780 law entered effect remained enslaved for life. The present document seems to reveal non-compliance with the law by Hugh Neilly in part: "I hereby certify on application of Ralph Cherry that a careful search hath been made by me among the Records of Negro's sic entered on the Records of Westmoreland County and that on such search it doth not appear that any Negro's hath been registered in the name of Peter or any other name as his property by Hugh Neilly of Westmoreland County aforesaid under the laws passes for the gradual abolition of slavery.

An unemployed 20 year-old Massachusetts teacher who had left home the year before in "exceeding hard times" Edward had gone to Baltimore – where some 50 teachers were out of work – and taken a job working for a wealthy man who had 4 acres of farm land worked by slaves. "…he has given me the office of overseer to look after the blacks in their work. O but you ought to see me walk over the lot with my cane in my hand to see how my work is going on. Then you ought to see the darky when he wants anything of me come up and take off his hat before he speaks…" Praising the "fine folks live in this beautiful part of the world" Carter proves that even a Massachusetts Yankee could quickly adapt to Southern culture and make peace with slavery.

‎Chart of the world on Mercator's projection illustrative of the impolicy of slavery.‎

‎London Joseph Cross n.d. but c. 1825. . Hand coloured engraved map. The map shows the extent 30° north and south of the Equator in which sugar is grown. Australia is still shown as New Holland. 29.8 cm x 23.7 cm 11¾" x 9¼". Framed and glazed. Scarce colour-coded map concerning the sugar trade and its link to slavery. The section shaded yellow is the appropriate climate for the growing of sugar. The section shaded red is the area from which Britain may obtain sugar cheaply parts of South America and the West Indies under British rule. The blue section shows where Britain is unable to obtain sugar due to the devastating effects of the slave trade. The pink and green areas are those from which the sugar trade is limited by high duties and restrictions. The argument is that the duties and restrictions are there to protect the slave trade and ultimately damage the British economy. James Cropper was a successful and wealthy Quaker merchant philanthropist and disciple of Adam Smith. A major force in the anti-slavery movement he believed that eliminating tariff protections would lead to the end of slave labour in the West Indies. Cropper himself had interests in East Indian sugar and therefore stood to benefit from the reduction of tariffs which colored his role in the abolition movement. Nevertheless 'in Cropper's mind the intensity of Quaker Quietism had fused with the economic optimism of Adam Smith. Anti-slavery confirmed this union endowing laissez-faire with an immediate moral and spiritual purpose and enriching his faith in the inevitability of human progress' Davis James Cropper and the British Anti-Slavery Movement 1961.
