THE CONDITION OF LABOR. AN ADDRESS TO THE MEMBERS OF THE LABOR REFORM LEAGUE OF NEW ENGLAND; IN A SPEECH IN SUPPORT OF SOME RESOLUTIONS OFFERED AT THEIR LATE CONVENTION IN BOSTON. BY ONE OF THE MEMBERS
Boston: Published by the Author 1847. Original printed wrappers stitched 32pp. Wrappers chipped repair to front wrap no text loss else Very Good. An early scarce and unusual radical critique of American capitalism. Apologists for Negro slavery would echo this New England condemnation of the free labor system. The author says wage labor in America is "worse than things at the South." The League attributes "the evils which oppress and burden the men and women of New England" to "a vicious social organization." America is "but one remove from.the Feudal state. Labor and capital are in direct antagonism. Or rather that labor is passive while capital wages a ceaseless war a guerilla war at least upon it cutting off its resources whenever it is possible. Instead of standing upon an equal footing with capital and being able to treat with it upon an equal basis it stands in the market-place like a slave." The author and the League urge the "Organization of Labor and the Association of Laborers whereby they shall work for themselves and not for another and receive the Profits of their own Labor." Sabin 15187. Goldsmiths'-Kress Library of Economic Literature 35408.16. OCLC locates ten copies under several accession numbers as of January 2020. Published by the Author unknown

No marks or inscriptions to contents. No creasing to covers or to spine. Very clean very tight pages with bright slightly marked boards, minor bump to spine foot and no bumping to corners. 50pp. Biography of the Englishwoman and social reformer who went to America in 1818, appalled by the conditions she saw in Britain. Her activities shocked her contemporaries, as among other her many campaigns, she lost half her personal fortune in a venture for setting up a community for freed slaves.

Lasker Bruno 1880 1965 social reform advocate
LITERARY ARCHIVE. SOCIAL REFORM. Large archive of more than 1000 pages of typescripts manuscripts mostly unpublished; corrections and notations throughout
Together seven three-ring binder notebooks binders worn boards on vol. VI broken off -- retained by us as out of "respect du fonds" -- containing approximately 876 typescript and manuscript pages. TOGETHER WITH: 29 file folders of articles ideas proposals and miscellaneous publishing materials consisting of approximate 300 typescript and manuscript pages housed in a new Hollinger box. TOGETHER WITH: two of Lasker's passports 1921 and 1926 and a large b/w studio portrait photograph undated. An important discovery. This is the private largely unpublished literary archive of the noted social reformer Bruno Lasker 1880-1965 containing well over a thousand pages of typed and hand-written manuscripts. These writings date from 1923 until the year of his death in 1965. Lasker's social work is well known and concerned racial prejudice and justice trafficking and human rights immigration and immigrants' rights poverty in America and economic inequality. The present literary archive is hitherto UNKNOWN; without it a full and balanced assessment of Bruno Lasker's life and work cannot be undertaken. That the materials herein are mostly unpublished is attested by Lasker's own statement in the first of seven folio notebook diaries named "Reflections." In addition to the "Reflections" the archive also contains working typescripts of 29 essays speeches and proposals including 19 writings which were evidently destined for a collection to be entitled "Rational Sympathy" that never appeared. It is instructive to present the transcription of Lasker's handwritten "To My Executors" in its entirety which appears in the seventh and final volume of his "Reflections" diaries: "This is the seventh volume of what might be called a diary though entries never were made with the frequency suggested by that term. It consists of original reflections observations and discussions suggested either by experiences by reading or by verbal colloquies. Only a minute portion of this material therefore has ever entered into literary use i.e. publication and the bulk of it constitutes a continuous though not intentional progression of my major concerns sentiments and ideas over a large part of my life. Or rather it constitutes a collection which represents my un-professional pre-occupations sic. Those connected with my work are more likely to be embodied in memoranda articles prefaces book reviews reports and lectures. These are for the most part either on record as printed documents or in the parallel series of binders much larger in number which has now reached vol. XXX which I call my workbooks and which properly form an appendix to my recorded autobiography made for the Oral History Project at Columbia University and will be deposited with it in the archives of the Butler Library of that institution. NOTE: the 30 volumes were indeed deposited at Columbia University -- Bruno Laster Papers 1923-1951. "The present collection or diary therefore is unpublished literary raw material and on my decease may either be handed to some interested person to be mined for items worth preserving perhaps even for the production -- such as I contemplate myself if I should find myself with enough time energy and self-confidence for such a task -- of an unpretentious volume or two of short essays or may also be appended to my MSS autobiography at Columbia University. Seattle May 8 1957. signed Bruno Lasker." Lasker "Reflections" diaries were written for an audience of just one person: himself. It is clear that again and again Lasker turned to the writings herein for inspiration as is attested by other materials in the present archive SEE FINDING AID. As a social commentator Laske was erudite and penetrating. He observes and elaborates on an unusually broad array of topics SEE FINDING AID and have found ourselves continuously impressed by his intelligence imagination introspection and his command of the English language. The personal nature of the diaries is attested by just one poignant passage in Vol. I namely the entry dated July 26 1925 which in its entirety consists of 18 paragraphs: "Yet but two weeks ago everything seemed so plain; I had the sensation of knowing that all was right that I was encircled by an all-loving power that there was in the world an all-seeing eye comprehending everything comprehending everything there is from the beginning to the end of time that nothing was impossible and therefore nothing pre-determined. I must have known or at least I must have been overpowered by consciousness that the being of this overarching trinity of power was knowable even though I could only see a glimpse of it afar. And that consciousness did not come to me in a state of dreaming but in one of those rare states of unusual clarity when the mind leaps unimpeded over chasms of difficulty. For days after I walked as one who had seen as one who thought he saw -- and then gradually the light grew dimmer and I saw no more. "Yet even in this returning blindness I do not feel as one utterly lost neither worried nor sorrowful; for what I have glimpsed once I know I shall glimpse again and from that lighted cave I shall proceed to other caves as yet unexplored." A sample passage from the same volume of "Reflections" on a very different topic: "These suburban and small-town Negroes are magnificent. They dress well without garishness; their children are clean and well behaved; they are courteous without being abject -- above all they are available for any odd job that needs doing whether it be an extra hand in the kitchen on Jane's wedding day the cleaning of a gutter the hauling of a load of gravel or voting hansome sic Herman into office as overseer of the poor. The question is how long will they remain contented with the modest roles we have assigned to them How long will it be until their bank savings will make them independent of contractors and tradesmen who overcharge them of housewives who too openly and sneeringly despise them of landlords and industrialists who exploit them "Another question is how long will it be until the white Americans with their insane pride in an imaginary Nordic descent will realize that the annual addition to the population they have denied to east and south European peoples or part of it is being made by a race which they deem even lower in the scale of human values" FINDING AID: Reflections Vol. 1: January 24 1924 to September 8 1925.

NB: Lasker writes: "Pages 1 - 96 consisting of observations and reflections in Eastern Asia in 1935-1936 mainly China Japan Java but also including Malaya Indochina Philippines and sea voyages have been incorporated with the documentary material appended to the typewritten record of the tape-recorded autobiography made by the Oral History Project Columbia University and to be deposited in the archives of the Butler Library of that University 1957. No literary use has been made of that material; but since it is largely reportorial and perhaps rather unique because of its informal character and aesthetic as well as sociological appreciation of things seen it seemed more appropriate for preservation in that connection than for the possible implementation of future reflective lectures or articles. ~ BL."

An Old Man Speaks. Lasker defines and refines the fascinating history and sweeping contents of the "Reflections" series for some future reader on a typed "Advertisement" sheet laid into Vol. 1. It bears repeating in full: "This series of seven manuscript volumes - the fifth unfortunately mutilated apparently to provide the main substance for one or more projected volumes of essays "The Good Life" "Science and Religion" etc. - started as a journal or diary. But in the course of time the entries became fewer and longer; and it seems to me that the new title " Reflections" with which I am now relabelling these binders is more appropriate. "This series was preceded by other - handwritten - diaries one or two may inadvertently be preserved together with a thin paper cahier of carbon-copied early letters home from London in my green sailor's chest. These early diary entries are in part excessively sentimental and betray a highly emotional attitude toward my experiences and observations in my early twenties. And even up into the thirties for I distinctly remember a piece written on the birth of my daughter which I later have read with astonishment. "Although it began as a diary and continued as a more or less conscious endeavor to preserve some of my passing thoughts for potential further literary uses this series in the main has been in my mind a substitute for lacking opportunities to express myself in writing on matters of intensive though passing and unprofessional interest. I wrote each piece - usually late at night or in hours of uninterrupted leisure at home - as a sort of editorial addressed to just one reader my future self. The occasions which stimulated such writing ranged from personal experiences to things seen and heard but more and more came to be dominated by my reading in many fields. Many of them carry on a sort of dialogue with some author or other not always in stark disagreement with his views but more often in admiration for him but somehow feeling urged to stress some aspect of the matter which to me he seemed to have neglected or perhaps misinterpreted. In this way I have managed through the years to retain my status in my own eyes at any rate as a writer and social student fully conscious though I have been at all times of my lack of skill and literary grace. "This attitude on my part more fully revealed itself to me when I tried on various occasions spread over many decades to collect some of these minor essays for publication as contributions to some particular field of interest such as the change in moral standards the survival of a truly religious faith when all superstitions have been thrown out of one's conscious awareness of the personal relation to the cosmic forces and so forth. The task it always appeared was beyond my capacity - not because of insuperable technical difaculties but simply because these spontaneous and previously uncorrected entries were too clumsy too half-cocked and sometimes too dull and verbose to lend themselves to rewarding further manipulations - and to publication in any form. In part too intimate and in part roaming over too vast a region of concerns in which I needs must remain an errant amateur traveller these pages essentially remained either intellectual exercises of insufficient substance to be of interest to anyone but their perpetrator or else too way moody to represent even the writer's own thinking about the subject at issue under conditions other than those which had stimulated the initial effort at self-expression. "That the entries gradually peter out is not so much a result of lacking enterprise or mental energy as of the fact that in recent years I have used another outlet for many of my cogitations and reflections: the notes appended to my collection of abstracts on Prophetics - a theme so large as to invite comments on my part on the widest range of topics. -- July 1 1962 Bruno Lasker." The present archive contains Lasker's own design for a possible publication of selections from the "Reflections" SEE FINDING AID Hollinger box folder 13. The title of the proposed work is "Go and Sin No More: Pages from a Sociologist's Diary" alternate title: "Looking at Life: Chosen Leaves from the Diary of a Sociologist to 1950." A truncated version of Lasker's outline follows: Introduction I. Faith and Knowledge / On Human Worth II. Rational Sympathy / Family III. Conflict of Values IV. Contact and Conduct V. Moral Attitudes / Crime VI. Morals and Taste / Parables VII. Citizenship VIII. Social Reform. COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY BRUNO LASKER PAPERS: These were donated by Lasker himself in 1965 includes "further material on Mr. Lasker's history of his life career namely material covering the period 1957-1965 and material for his Study of Prophetics.

It comprises some 5000 pages in 33 binders of abstracts and comments; an index of abstracts by names topics and sub-topics; notes for a substantial bibliography; printed and manuscript materials; and the typed draft of an unpublished book 'Dates of Destiny'" SOURCE: Columbia University Columns XV:1 1965 pp. 40-41.

No literary use has been made of that material; but since it is largely reportorial and perhaps rather unique because of its informal character and aesthetic as well as sociological appreciation of things seen it seemed more appropriate for preservation in that connection than for the possible implementation of future reflective lectures or articles. ~ BL."

An Old Man Speaks. <br/><br/>Lasker defines and refines the fascinating history and sweeping contents of the "Reflections" series for some future reader on a typed "Advertisement" sheet laid into Vol. 1. It bears repeating in full: <br/><br/>"This series of seven manuscript volumes - the fifth unfortunately mutilated apparently to provide the main substance for one or more projected volumes of essays "The Good Life" "Science and Religion" etc. - started as a journal or diary. But in the course of time the entries became fewer and longer; and it seems to me that the new title " Reflections" with which I am now relabelling these binders is more appropriate. <br/><br/>"This series was preceded by other - handwritten - diaries one or two may inadvertently be preserved together with a thin paper cahier of carbon-copied early letters home from London in my green sailor's chest. These early diary entries are in part excessively sentimental and betray a highly emotional attitude toward my experiences and observations in my early twenties. And even up into the thirties for I distinctly remember a piece written on the birth of my daughter which I later have read with astonishment. <br/><br/>"Although it began as a diary and continued as a more or less conscious endeavor to preserve some of my passing thoughts for potential further literary uses this series in the main has been in my mind a substitute for lacking opportunities to express myself in writing on matters of intensive though passing and unprofessional interest. I wrote each piece - usually late at night or in hours of uninterrupted leisure at home - as a sort of editorial addressed to just one reader my future self. The occasions which stimulated such writing ranged from personal experiences to things seen and heard but more and more came to be dominated by my reading in many fields. Many of them carry on a sort of dialogue with some author or other not always in stark disagreement with his views but more often in admiration for him but somehow feeling urged to stress some aspect of the matter which to me he seemed to have neglected or perhaps misinterpreted. In this way I have managed through the years to retain my status in my own eyes at any rate as a writer and social student fully conscious though I have been at all times of my lack of skill and literary grace. <br/><br/>"This attitude on my part more fully revealed itself to me when I tried on various occasions spread over many decades to collect some of these minor essays for publication as contributions to some particular field of interest such as the change in moral standards the survival of a truly religious faith when all superstitions have been thrown out of one's conscious awareness of the personal relation to the cosmic forces and so forth. The task it always appeared was beyond my capacity - not because of insuperable technical difaculties but simply because these spontaneous and previously uncorrected entries were too clumsy too half-cocked and sometimes too dull and verbose to lend themselves to rewarding further manipulations - and to publication in any form. In part too intimate and in part roaming over too vast a region of concerns in which I needs must remain an errant amateur traveller these pages essentially remained either intellectual exercises of insufficient substance to be of interest to anyone but their perpetrator or else too way moody to represent even the writer's own thinking about the subject at issue under conditions other than those which had stimulated the initial effort at self-expression. <br/><br/>"That the entries gradually peter out is not so much a result of lacking enterprise or mental energy as of the fact that in recent years I have used another outlet for many of my cogitations and reflections: the notes appended to my collection of abstracts on Prophetics - a theme so large as to invite comments on my part on the widest range of topics. -- July 1 1962 Bruno Lasker."<br/><br/>The present archive contains Lasker's own design for a possible publication of selections from the "Reflections" SEE FINDING AID Hollinger box folder 13. The title of the proposed work is "Go and Sin No More: Pages from a Sociologist's Diary" alternate title: "Looking at Life: Chosen Leaves from the Diary of a Sociologist to 1950." A truncated version of Lasker's outline follows:<br/><br/>Introduction<br/>I. Faith and Knowledge / On Human Worth<br/>II. Rational Sympathy / Family<br/>III. Conflict of Values<br/>IV. Contact and Conduct<br/>V. Moral Attitudes / Crime<br/>VI. Morals and Taste / Parables<br/>VII. Citizenship<br/>VIII.
