Abolition. Slavery
Reception of George Thompson in Great Britain. Compiled from Various British Publications
Boston: Isaac Knapp 1836. About very good. xvi13-238pp. 12mo. Original publisher's blue boards with black sheep spine gilt. Boards rubbed corners and spine moderately worn. Text lightly foxed. Scarce work addressing the anti-slavery work of George Thompson following his visit to America. Thompson 1804-1878 was British lecturer and reformer who worked as a commercial clerk.<br/><br/>"Thompson first came to prominence in 1831 when he was recruited by the London Anti-Slavery Society's Agency Committee as an itinerant lecturer. In the run up to the Emancipation Act of 1833 he became the most effective British anti-slavery lecturer since Thomas Clarkson. With the struggle against British slavery apparently won Thompson was instrumental in reorienting anti-slavery effort towards the Americas and particularly the United States. . In 1834 he encountered the charismatic American abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison. Recognizing Thompson's talent Garrison invited him to travel to the United States with his growing family to labour there on behalf of the enslaved people of America" - DNB. Thompson employed sarcasm and vitriol in his orations attacking anti-abolitionist sentiment across the northern states. In the process he failed to make very many friends or converts and alienated those with more moderate views.<br/><br/>"Opponents attacked him as a foreign interloper and an anti-American agitator. They also discovered a scandal in Thompson's past alleging that in 1829 he had absconded with £80 embezzled from his employer. His supporters angrily rejected this charge though Thompson later privately admitted it was true he eventually repaid the sum in full. Hostility increasingly turned violent and in fear of his life he was smuggled out of the country in October 1835 returning to a hero's welcome in Britain" - DNB.<br/><br/>This work is a rebuttal made by Thompson's American supporters aggregating information from British sources to defend his good name and abolitionist efforts after fleeing America for his homeland. It includes some of Thompson's speeches on slavery in America given before audiences in Scotland and England and discusses his work with the American Anti-Slavery Society. Though there are a handful of institutional copies the work is scarce on the market and does not appear in auction records over the pasty forty years.<br/> Sabin 9324. American Imprints 36449.

AFRICAN AMERICANA SLAVERY & ABOLITION ABOLITION WOMEN AUTHORS TAYLOR Emily
Autograph Letter Signed to Eliza Lee Cabot Follen including Manuscript Poem "For the Liberty Bell." 4pp dated August 10th 1843
Liverpool: 1843. Ephemera. English poet and hymnist Emily Taylor 1795-1872 was the author of more than twenty books including the book-length anti-slavery poem The Vision of Las Casas 1825. Though best-known as an author of historical works for children she was also a prolific hymnist contributing more than a dozen works to various Unitarian hymnals in the first decades of the 19th century possibly providing her connection to Follen also a well-known hymnist. The present letter is addressed to the prominent abolitionist author Eliza Lee Follen of Boston and opens: "My dear Madam Our mutual friend Harriet Martineau assures me of a kind reception from you and accordingly I transcribe for you a few lines written immediately on reading your Liberty Bell for 1843. If you are to enroll my name among those which I hold so holy & dear as your contributors in the Abolition cause please to accept them." The substantial 67-line poem which follows begins with the prologue: "To a friend who asked the author's aid and prayers for the slave;" and continues: "Pity & prayers and pleading for the Slaves! / Them thou didst ask and soon as ask'd I gave." The poem goes on to extend the by-then familiar argument that the institution of slavery makes slaves not only of its subjects but of its perpetrators as well. Taylor concludes as a postscript on the final leaf: "Would you dear Mrs. Follen forward the enclosed to Mrs. Chapman Maria Weston Chapman editor of The Liberty Bell .I am sorry but do not know Mrs. C's address." The poem was in fact published without revisions as "To A Friend" in the 1844 edition of Chapman's important anti-slavery gift annual The Liberty Bell; other contributors to this edition included James Russell Lowell Lydia Maria Child Harriet Martineau Amasa Walker William Llloyd Garrison and others. The recipient of the letter Eliza Lee Cabot Follen was herself a prominent and prolific abolitionist author scion of the Cabots of Boston and part of the Boston social circle that included William Ellery Channing Henry Ware George Ticknor and other patrician intellectuals of the period. An excellent and representative letter and manuscript involving three key women figures in the abolitionist movement during a particularly heady period for the cause. Quarto sheet folded once to make 4pp. Signed in three places "Emily Taylor"; marked "Private;" and "for Mrs. Chapman." Mild cover soil; small loss at right margin from opening; slight fading to ink. Very Good. Includes brief introductory followed by an anti-slavery poem of 67 lines "For the Liberty Bell" submitted for publication in the American gift annual of that name. Numerous ink corrections to the text in the author's hand. unknown

The author thanks his brother for some fly nets sent him "I have sold about half of them at some profit" later noting that "they are not only worn on horses but they are used to spread over the cradles of the Negro Children as a screen the Negro women also wear them to Church & on dressy occasions. I hope the Abolition Missionarys wont find it out before I can dispose of all that I have for frear that they will glut the market." Bemis goes on to describe the election of 1840 "the tightes sic election in the State that ever was it took place the 3d of this month in this County we elected the whig ticket throughout" and goes so far to mention that "The women say out with Van Buren & give us the credit system." Indeed the women had their way as Van Buren lost to Harrison in large part thanks to the efforts of the Whig Party.

Unused handbill announcing anti-slavery meetings held by the Western Anti-Slavery Society a splinter group from the Ohio State Anti-Slavery Society. This branch was led by the abolitionist Adam Brooke a member of the utopian community the Marlboro Association; and to a lesser extent Parker Pillsbury who attended and occasionally spoke at the annual anniversary meetings. The Society Garrisonian in its rejection of the Church stated that "We are not merely warring against the extension of new slave territory nor against any fugitive slave law constitutional or unconstitutional; nor for the writ of habeas corpus or the right of trial by jury for recaptured slaves but we are waging eternal war against the doctrine that man can ever under any possibility of circumstances hold property in man" cf. William M. Wiecek "The Sources of Anti-Slavery Constitutionalism in America 1760-1848" 1977 p. 252. The group reached its peak in 1847 when William Lloyd Garrison and Frederick Douglass both spoke at the annual anniversary meeting which drew several thousand attendees. However the group always struggled with funding and was defunct by 1861. The present broadside reminds the reader that "Three million of your fellow beings are in chains--the Church and Government sustains the horrible system of oppression. Turn Out!

Immediate Not Gradual Abolition; or An Inquiry into the Shortest Safest and Most Effectual Means of Getting Rid of West Indian Slavery
New-York: James V. Seaman 1825. First American Edition. Paperback. Attributed to the EnglishQuaker and abolitionist Elizabeth Heyrick a pamphlet first published in London the previous year and harshly criticizing the "gradualist" abolitionists who had quite erroneously argued that if the slave trade was abolished as it was in England in 1808 slavery would eventually die out as well. Heyrick's argument for complete and immediate emancipation was quickly reprinted in the United States as containing "some of the most persuasive appeals and powerful arguments which we ever met with in relation to slavery" p. 2. The author concluded that "abstinence from West Indian sugar alone would sign the death warrant of West Indian slavery" p. 24. Though unattributed at the time of publication the introduction to this edition also notes that the work is "said to be the production of a female in England" and the work "specifically targeted women and their emotions" Elizabeth J. Clapp and Julie Roy Jeffrey eds. "Women Dissent and Anti-Slavery in Britain and America 1790-1865" 2011 p. 113. DUMOND p. 65; SHOEMAKER 20877.

African American; Slavery Brown Carrie E.
Slave bill of sale between A. J. Brown and Carrie E. Brown of Negro Man George
1860. Very good condition. Manuscript slave bill of sale signed and dated the 12th Jan 1860 which reads: "Rec. of Jos. D. Brown Adm. of A. J. Brown the sum of Six hundred and fifty nine dol and 50/100 cts it being one half of proceeds of sale of Negro Man George. This 12th Jan. 1860. Signed Carrie E. Brown." This slave sale took place in early 1860 the year in which Abraham Lincoln won the election on a platform of halting the expansion of slavery. His win prompted 7 Southern slave states to declare their secession from the Union to form the Confederate States of America. Lincoln's 1860 election caused many to believe that Southern interests were losing control on the federal level and that the new government would eventually suppress slavery or abolish it completely. The reaction amongst slaves to Lincoln's election was jubilant: on a Virginia plantation slaves celebrated by proclaiming their freedom and marching off the plantation. Pale blue laid paper 7 1/2 x 4". With 1 original fold this a complete bill of sale no loss of text torn from a larger piece of paper. On the verso "C. E. Brown Recpt $659.50" <br/><br/> unknown

AFRICAN AMERICANA SLAVERY & ABOLITION ABOLITION WOMEN AUTHORS TAYLOR Emily
Autograph Letter Signed to Eliza Lee Cabot Follen including Manuscript Poem "For the Liberty Bell." 4pp dated August 10th 1843
Liverpool: 1843. Quarto sheet folded once to make 4pp. Signed in three places "Emily Taylor"; marked "Private;" and "for Mrs. Chapman." Mild cover soil; small loss at right margin from opening; slight fading to ink. Very Good. Includes brief introductory followed by an anti-slavery poem of 67 lines "For the Liberty Bell" submitted for publication in the American gift annual of that name. Numerous ink corrections to the text in the author's hand. English poet and hymnist Emily Taylor 1795-1872 was the author of more than twenty books including the book-length anti-slavery poem The Vision of Las Casas 1825. Though best-known as an author of historical works for children she was also a prolific hymnist contributing more than a dozen works to various Unitarian hymnals in the first decades of the 19th century possibly providing her connection to Follen also a well-known hymnist. The present letter is addressed to the prominent abolitionist author Eliza Lee Follen of Boston and opens: "My dear Madam Our mutual friend Harriet Martineau assures me of a kind reception from you and accordingly I transcribe for you a few lines written immediately on reading your Liberty Bell for 1843. If you are to enroll my name among those which I hold so holy & dear as your contributors in the Abolition cause please to accept them." The substantial 67-line poem which follows begins with the prologue: "To a friend who asked the author's aid and prayers for the slave;" and continues: "Pity & prayers and pleading for the Slaves! / Them thou didst ask and soon as ask'd I gave." The poem goes on to extend the by-then familiar argument that the institution of slavery makes slaves not only of its subjects but of its perpetrators as well. Taylor concludes as a postscript on the final leaf: "Would you dear Mrs. Follen forward the enclosed to Mrs. Chapman Maria Weston Chapman editor of The Liberty Bell .I am sorry but do not know Mrs. C's address." <br/><br/>The poem was in fact published without revisions as "To A Friend" in the 1844 edition of Chapman's important anti-slavery gift annual The Liberty Bell; other contributors to this edition included James Russell Lowell Lydia Maria Child Harriet Martineau Amasa Walker William Llloyd Garrison and others. The recipient of the letter Eliza Lee Cabot Follen was herself a prominent and prolific abolitionist author scion of the Cabots of Boston and part of the Boston social circle that included William Ellery Channing Henry Ware George Ticknor and other patrician intellectuals of the period. An excellent and representative letter and manuscript involving three key women figures in the abolitionist movement during a particularly heady period for the cause. unknown books

I hope the Abolition Missionarys wont find it out before I can dispose of all that I have for frear that they will glut the market." Bemis goes on to describe the election of 1840 "the tightes sic election in the State that ever was it took place the 3d of this month in this County we elected the whig ticket throughout" and goes so far to mention that "The women say out with Van Buren & give us the credit system."
