Slavery Child Marriages in India
Groundbreaking Act Slaves Girls from Child Marriages in India 1929
This rare pamphlet "Act No. XIX of 1929 Passed by the Indian Legislature.An Act to Restrain the Solemnisation of Child Marriages" was a critical step in protecting girls. No other copies in OCLC Worldcat<br/><br/>Child marriage was historically prevalent in India where the International Center for Research on Women reported that 47% of Indian weddings in the early 20th century involved brides under the age of 18. Poverty was a driving factor in child marriage as families in financial straits could improve their economic standing by marrying their daughters to wealthier older men. Yet as other countries began making improvements for women and girls India too recognized the dangers inherent to girls' health and well-being when they were married and became mothers while still in their own childhoods. This pamphlet which is the only known copy according to OCLC Worldcat details the "punishment for male adult below twenty one years of age marrying a child punishment for male adults over twenty one years of age marrying a child and punishment for solemnizing a child marriage." While child marriage does persist in India its rates have gone down and modern India has joined the South Asian Initiative to End Violence Against Children SAIEVAC which adopted a regional action plan to enforce the marriage bans and end child marriage in and beyond its own borders. unknown books

A Sermon on American Slavery: Its Nature and the Duties of Christians in Relation to It
Detroit: J.S. and S.A. Bagg 1840. First Edition. Paperback. Uncommon Michigan abolitionist pamphlet the movement never fully reaching maturation in the state until the eve of the Civil War.

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.

Slavery and Abolition.
The Modern Democratic Creed! Letter of John Brodhead Democratic Candidate for City Treasurer…
Letterpress broadside 18 7/8" x 11 3/4" bold black type for highlighted words. Paper evenly toned some wrinkling considerable archival conservation and restoration with archival paper repair; despite the imperfections it is still a decent copy with a nice impression. This appears to fall into the political dirty tricks department in an election between John Brodhead and Henry Bumm for city treasurer in Philadelphia. The broadside is supposed to highlight a letter from John Brodhead to Jefferson Davis in 1860. It has strong racist overtones as Brodhead supposedly requests a position in Nicaragua so he can "help open it up to civilization and Niggers." He goes on to state he is "tired of being a white slave at the North and long for a home in the sunny South." These kinds of political tricks were not uncommon during the Civil War period perhaps that's still true today and the racist overtones would certainly not help one's chances in a Northern election.

SLAVERY NEWTON John
Ängelske Sid-Captenens federmera Predikantens Johan Newtons synnerligen märkwärdiga Rese- och Leswernes-Beskrifning. Pastoren Doctor T. Haweis.
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.
