‎INJURED HUMANITY; BEING A REPRESENTATION OF WHAT THE UNHAPPY CHILDREN OF AFRICA ENDURE FROM THOSE WHO CALL THEMSELVES CHRISTIANS‎

‎New York: Samuel Wood 1808. Broadside 16 1/2 x 13 inches with main text printed in two center columns flanked on both sides by seven woodcut illustrations with descriptive text. The entire broadside surrounded by an ornamental border. Old folds minor chipping to edges short repaired tears small smudge in right column. Backed on acid-free tissue. Very good. A rare and powerful illustrated broadside describing in text and images the cruelties suffered by Africans in the West Indies slave trade. The main text is largely adapted from a work published in London in 1793 REMARKS ON THE METHODS OF PROCURING SLAVES WITH A SHORT ACCOUNT OF THEIR TREATMENT IN THE WEST- INDIES in support of an abolitionist boycott of West Indian goods with information gleaned from Parliamentary reports. It describes slave auctions and the "scrambles" by which sickly Africans are sold and gives details of the treatment of field and house slaves. The illustrations are horrifying showing slave families being separated at auction and then branded floggings at the hands of black overseers and various restraints to keep the slaves from eating or escaping including head-frames and mouthpieces neck braces weights leg spurs and shackles and yokes. The printer of this broadside Samuel Wood was a noted Quaker- reformist and the illustrations are credited to pioneering New York wood engraver Alexander Anderson. <br> <br> OCLC locates eleven copies and gives a publication date of 1802 though Pomeroy the American Antiquarian Society and Princeton give a date of 1805 to 1808 based on Samuel Wood's address as noted in the imprint. The Gilder Lehrman Institute also holds a copy as does the Rosenbach Museum. Rare and very interesting and a powerful manifestation of the growing abolitionist sentiment in the United States in the early 19th century. POMEROY ALEXANDER ANDERSON 169.

‎n.p. 1850. 16pp. Caption-title as issued stitched. Light spotting else Very Good. An anti-slavery pamphlet in German likely addressed to naturalized recently-arrived Germans. Nabob the slave-owner informs his friend "Gottlieb" who quotes often from Bible precedent against slavery that he is on his way to sell fifty slaves--menfolk womenfolk boys and girls "Mannsleute Weibsleute Buben und Maedchen"--who are all in tears; Gottlieb argues with him at length concluding that the entire nation bears responsibility for electing pro-slavery Representatives. Nabob concludes that indeed the slaveholders will face the judgment of God. The text refers to the English emancipation in the West Indies to the six to nine month residency requirements under slave transit laws likely putting this somewhere in the 1840s and to failed attempts to fund education for the poor in Ohio. unknown‎

In January this "memorial" was presented and in February it was answered with this "Report."

‎Some Observations on the Assiento Trade as has been Exercised by the South Sea Company; Proving the Damage which will accrue thereby to the British Commerce and Plantations in America and Particularly in Jamaica…‎

‎Pamphlet 8vo modern full calf in the style of an 18th century “Cambridge†binding 32 pp.Very slight aging; in excellent condition. This is a rare first edition of a work that presents a complaint by British planters in the West Indies concerning the Assiento or “agreement’ with Spain that gave Britain a virtual monopoly on the African slave trade. This agreement came out of the Treaty of Utrecht which ended the War of the Spanish Succession. This pamphlet indicates that the planters feared as a result of this agreement British slavers might be required to provide African slaves to the Spanish colonies which could result in insufficient numbers available for the West India plantations. The Assiento with Spain would mark the beginning of the Atlantic slave trade as a very powerful economic growth engine. Unfortunately this would translate into millions of Africans being taken from their homes. H. Whitridge unknown‎

‎The life of an African slave in eighteenth century Connecticut contained in a ledger apparently kept by one David Mack Jr.‎

‎The sparse ledger entries date from 1817 to the mid-1850s. Although they are not without interest they are routine along the lines of '4 bushels of apples 6 yards of cloth'. However the many blank spaces remaining have been put to much better use. Most of the large volume 405 � 165 mm 176 pages in original worn quarter roan and marbled papered boards has been used as a daily diary interspersed with lengthy reminiscences. Mack we presume commenced his diary in January 1869 and the last entry is dated 18 May 1877. He records a few pages earlier on 22 August 1876 that it was his 84th birthday. His 'Reminiscences of an Old Man' include a section on 'Peter the Slave'. Mack write that 'When I was a boy some 70 years ago I remember an old blind negro who lived in a family within a hundred rods of my father's house. He was then supposed to be nearly one 100 sic years old. No one knew his age he did not know it himself. He was kidnapped or stolen from Africa when he was a small boy supposed to be about seven and as he said the grandson of an African Chief. Being out one day to play with other boys on the sea shore he was seized by a band of kidnappers carried on board their ship brought to Hartford and sold as a slave. Slavery at that time was tolerated in all the States'. Peter must have been kidnapped in the first decade of the eighteenth century. hardcover‎

The authors of the text accuse the American Tract Society of "suppression" of anti- slavery sentiment by censorship of certain works it publishes that speak against the institution and an overall sin of "studied and persistent ommission" by not itself issuing "a direct condemnation of the most giant iniquity of our land."

‎Autograph letter signed to Member of Parliament Benjamin Hawes sending him the proposed resolution to establish the British African Colonization Society and on William Lloyd Garrison's opposition to the colonization movement‎

‎England 1833. 3pp. Scarce letter on the Liberian colonization movement by one of its founders.<br/> <br/>The letter begins with the 2-page text of a resolution to establish the British African Colonization Society: " . that Colonies composed of fare settlers of African race established on judicious principles on the Coast of Africa appear calculated beyond any other plan to put an effectual stop to the slave trade . Resolved that a Society be formed to be called the British African Colonization Society and that is objects be to cooperate with the American Colonization Society and with the several missionaries and other religious and charitable societies in Great Britain and the United States of America in such measures as may promote the total abolition of the slave trade and the establishment of Christianity and Civilization among the Natives of Africa chiefly by the employment of Free Persons of African birth or descent." The proposed Society was to be established under the patronage of the Duke of Sussex. In the letter which follows Cresson writes of William Lloyd Garrison's opposition to the colonization movement: " . I send the list of officers as far as accepted several others have not yet answered but I trust we shall present a bold front. I have just heard thro his Chaplain from the Duke. Garrison has written to poison his mind and probably will annoy our meeting. I trust that as the notice has been so short our friends will bring many with them . My letter to the Times in answer to Garrison they have not yet noticed so that it will be put in the Globe whose Editor has offered it a place in his columns." Cresson a noted Philadelphia businessman and philanthropist was among the most ardent supports of colonization the movement to relocate former slaves and free African Americans to colonies in Liberia. In 1832 he travelled to England to promote international support for the movement. The following year Cresson and the Philadelphia Young Men's Colonization Society a branch of the American Colonization Society founded Port Cresson in Liberia. However the colony was attacked in 1835 by Bassa tribesmen incited by Spanish slave traders and destroyed. Although initially in favor of colonization William Lloyd Garrison would change his mind decrying the efforts of the American Colonization Society as a perpetuation of slavery.
