Jay, William (1789-1858).
A VIEW OF THE ACTION OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IN BEHALF OF SLAVERY. Second Edition.
240 p. 12 mo. Foxed. XLib. Spine taped. **NOTE: A very curious feature of this copy is that the copyright notice is pasted over with a changed version. Jay, the son of the first Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme court, was a noted attorney and staunch abolitionist. He "castigated the federal government's complicity in the crime of slavery. by contrasting actual federal involvement in slavery with the constitutionally required minimal involvement. He also contrasted the gratuitous complicity with slavery with a vision of what the national government might permissibly do against slavery. Most of Jay 's positions on congressional or executive power were well within the mainstream of legal thought of the day." **PRICE JUST REDUCED! JUN2C/W148 Rear

Jesse Collings (1831-1920) of Birmingham, Liberal and Liberal Unionist politician, advocate of free education and land reform [B
Jesse Collings Liberal politician advocate of free education and land reform. Five Autograph Letters Signed to Bernard Piffard regarding opposition to Lords of the Manor over enclosures and 'Allotments and Small Holdings Associations'.
Between 27 July 1885 and 22 March 1886. All from Edgbaston Birmingham the second a letterhead. See his entry in the Oxford DNB. From the Piffard papers. A total of 9pp 12mo. The recipient is 'B. Piffard Esq.' and the letters are all signed 'Jesse Collings'. ONE: 27 July 1885. 2pp 12mo. He apologises for the delay in replying: 'I have been so over-pressed with Parliamentary and other work.' He will go into the matter of Piffard's letter at the 'Committee meeting of our Allotments & Small Holdings Association' that very day. 'We are waking up the Charity Commissioners to a great extent but it will be utterly impossible to do full justice to the rights of the people until the management of these charities and other mattes connected with the poor are placed in the hands of the new rural municipalities which I hope will be created as soon as a Liberal Government returns to power'. TWO: 10 December 1885. 3pp 12mo. The subject of the letter is 'the enclosures contemplated by Earl Brownlow' about which Piffard has sent him a newspaper cutting. 'If I could get a "brief" shortly stating the case I would see if there was any possibility of bringing the matter before Parliament': 'I do not know how I should raise the question but I would watch for some opening if I knew all the particulars of the case'. He informs him that 'The county elections are turning out exceedingly well and this means the beginning of the end of the power of the territorial Party. The action of our Allotments and Small Holdings Association is getting more and more powerful in the rural districts and we shall push it forward to the utmost extent.' THREE: 8 January 1886. 1p 12mo. Further thoughts on the subject of Letter Two. FOUR: 24 January 1886. 2pp 12mo. 'The matter seems a very unsatisfactory one and I should like to do anything within my power towards securing the popular rights if you could suggest anything. I have such an enormous amount of work on hand that it would be impossible for me to go through the matter and prepare a brief but if any short statement can be formulated bringing out the points I will ask some questions in Parliament on the subject. It seems monstrous that Lrods of the Manor should retain such powers while they have shuffled off all the obligations in which their supposed rights over land are founded.' FIVE: 22 March 1886. 1p 12mo. He is pleased to hear of the success which has attended Piffard's efforts both with regard to the Charity Commissioners and the enclosures.' He is returning Piffard's 'plan' and regrets that he is 'so fully occupied just now that I am sorry I am not able to take any special action in the matter'. Between 27 July 1885 and 22 March 1886. All from Edgbaston, Birmingham (the second a letterhead). unknown

Jesse Collings (1831-1920), Liberal and Liberal Unionist politician, advocate of free education and land reform:
‘It was a monstrous thing to make poverty a crime’: Jesse Collings Liberal politician. Autograph Letter Signed attacking the government over a bill which was meant to be ‘of no use to the people whom it affected’.
5 August 1888. Edgbaston Birmingham. See his entry in the Oxford DNB. 2pp 12mo. On first leaf of bifolium. Lightly aged and worn. Folded four times. Signed ‘Jesse Collings’. Addressed to ‘Messrs Smith & Kitching / Hon. Secs. Political Committee / Chelsea / London’. Minuted in pencil on reverse of second leaf: ‘Acknowledgment of Copy of our Resolution’. He has been ‘so much over-pressed with correspondence and other work’ hence the delay in replying. He asks them to ‘convey my best thanks to your Committee for the Resolution they have passed and copy of which you enclosed’. They will have seen that ‘the Bill has now become law in spite of the action of the Govt. who evidently wanted a Bill that should be of no use to the people whom it affected’. He continues: ‘The labouring poor have already enough to contend with and it was a monstrous thing to make poverty a crime to be punished by the loss of the rights of citizenship’. 5 August 1888. Edgbaston, Birmingham. unknown

Joachim Camerarius l'Ancien (Joachim Kammermeister), Bamberg, 12 avril 1500, Leipzig, 17 avril 1574 - Erudit allemand - Issu d'une famille dont le premier nom était Liebhard, et qui avait reçu le surnom de Camerarius, parce que plusieurs de ses membres avaient été chambellans. Il se fit de bonne heure connaître par des ouvrages érudits, enseigna le grec et le latin à Nuremberg (1526), et réorganisa les universités de Tubingue (1550) et de Leipsick (1552). Il joua aussi un grand rôle dans les affaires politiques et religieuses, embrassa un des premiers la réforme, se lia étroitement avec Philippe Melanchthon, l'aida à rédiger la Confession d'Augsbourg, fut chargé par le sénat de Nuremberg de plusieurs missions importantes, et jouit d'un grand crédit auprès des empereurs Charles Quint et Maximilien d'Autriche, ainsi que des ducs de Saxe Henri et Maurice.Bernard Salomon (v. 1506-1561 ?)

Jones, Henry Festing (1851-1928).
SAMUEL BUTLER - AUTHOR OF EREWHON (1835-1902). A MEMOIR.
Two volumes. pp. (xxx) 448; (x) 531 + Plates. 8vo. 22 cm. Original publisher's cloth binding. Rockwell Kent designed bookplate of Maxwell Steinhardt. The text includes: "A Short Bibliography of the W itings of Samuel Butler and of the Books and Articles Concerning Him". Samuel Butler was born in Langar, Nottinghamshire. The son of a clergyman and grandson of a Bishop, he was educated at Shrewsbury and St John's College, Cambridge. He emigrated to New Zealand in 1859, where he achieved success as a sheep-farmer. His letters home to his father were compiled to form 'A First Year in Canterbury Settlement' (1863), which later became the core of his most popular work, 'Erewhon'. He returned to England in 1864, having accumulated a small fortune, and settled in Clifford's Inn, where he stayed until his death. In 1872 he published 'Erewhon' (an anagram for nowhere) anonymously. It attacked contemporary attitudes on morals, religion, education, and science by describing a land where (among other things) illness is considered a crime. Sick people are thrown in jail, as their sickness is their own fault. Sad people are also imprisoned, for grief is a sign of misfortune and people are held responsible for the actions that made them unfortunate. People who rob or murder, on the other hand, are treated generously and taken to the hospital to recover from their affliction. No machines are allowed in Erewhon, as a philosopher once speculated that machines could rapidly evolve and would take over the world. Students study anything that has absolutely no practical purpose at the University of Unreason. The book was scintillatingly popular. It still can be read with great enjoyment and relevance today. During the next decade Butler wrote a series of controversial scientific works. They were distinctly anti-Darwin, and especially opposed to certain aspects of the theory of natural selection. He also began experimenting in musical composition, and collaborated with his friend (and later biographer) Henry Festing Jones on the oratorio 'Narcissus' (1880). In 1896 he published the biography of his grandfather, Bishop Samuel Butler. Today, his best-known work is probably 'The Way of Al l Flesh'. It was the thoughtful result of many years of hard labor, but did not appear in his lifetime. "I am the 'enfant terrible' of literature and science. If I cannot (and I know I cannot) get the literary and scientific big-wigs to give me a shilling. I can (and I know I can) heave bricks into the middle of them" - Samuel Butler, 'Notebooks' **PRICE JUST REDUCED! W140
