Isaac Sharp (1806-1897), Quaker missionary [Henry Fell Pease (1838-1896) of Darlington, Quaker industrialist and Liberal MP; Aus
Isaac Sharp Quaker missionary in Australia. Long Autograph Letter Signed to Darlington MP Henry Fell Pease describing his doings on 'this far off Island-Continent' including a visit to the Melnbourne International Exhibition and other topics.
'Jameson Victoria Australia'. 1 February 1881. Sharp's entry in the Oxford DNB describes his extensive travels including eight visits to Norway and a tour in his eighty-fifth year 'visiting Constantinople India Japan and the interior of China'; and also notes that he was an 'excellent correspondent' who 'expressed himself as readily in verse as in prose'. The present letter was written during a seven-year-tour of the southern hemisphere 1877-1884 during which Sharp left Basutoland for Madagascar 'where an important station had been founded by the Society of Friends. He next travelled to Sydney Melbourne and other Australian towns then to Stewart Island and New Zealand and thence to San Francisco the United States and Mexico.' The letter – signed 'Isaac Sharp' – is addressed to 'My dear Friend' and the recipient is not named but a reference to 'Brinkburn' identifies him as Henry Fell Pease 1838-1896 of Darlington Quaker industrialist and Liberal MP who seems from the letter to have contributed to the financing of Sharp's tour. Sharp had been connected with the prominent north-east family since his youth. At the age of twenty-four he went to Darlington as private secretary to Joseph Pease 'succeeding afterwards to the management of the Pease estate near Middlesborough'. 8pp 12mo. On two bifoliums of thin grey paper bearing the watermark 'L-J D L & Co'. Around 180 lines of closely-written text at points difficult to decipher despite its neatness. In fair condition aged and worn. He begins by reporting that the recipient's 'kind letter and its enclosure' have reached him via Sydney. 'The days pass very rapidly by they seem ever the more to chase each other – I am well cared for in having a companion & fellow labourer who knows much of this far off Island-Continent the distances are great and the homes of many we visit lie wide apart the grass does not grow under our feet - & yet civilized railway speed is impracticable among the mountains – we crossed a ridge last week on horseback 6100 feet above the sea level & a little on our right was Feathercup Feathercap the highest land in Victoria shortly after paying a visit to a member of Darlington Monthly Meeting – At one Station where we halted for the night they told us that last winter they did not see a strange face for 4 months whisht! It is summer now -'. An extended passage follows in which he discusses his response of the call of 'the Master' to preach the gospel: 'Meanwhile my beloved friends who gave me a certificate for belting the earth have a right to its recall'. Sharp's is 'a joyful service but one of grave responsibility … And so while nearing 75 this is my song in the hour of my pilgrimage that in all the changes & chequerings of an earthly sojourn The Lord is good – yea in the height & in the depth “He knows all them who trust in Himâ€-'. He recalls that thirty-five years before his 'honoured Father copied out for me the 121st Psalm & gave it me with his Autograph'. Returning to his present situation Sharp writes: 'At 8 this evening we assemble with the people of this place Jameson; 37° South 146° east will serve as a finger point to the spot on the map - A Meeting at Mansfield to morrow evening then a jolting journey to reach the Rail – at Langwood for Melbourne where we hope to be on 7th day next - There is a good deal of prospective service in & about the City prior to embarking for Tasmania where at Hobart Town the Annual Meeting commences the second week and 35 month - Queensland will be probably taken in winter between 4th & 8 Months to avoid the heat & this prior to New Zealand – As to Calafornia sic &c they may be safely left for the present – for the visual ray the distance & sea journey would be more than a match for any known Telescope –'. He turns to meteorological matters: 'Dost thou still keep a rain gauge & heat record There has been much of drought where my lot has fallen for the three years last past – as to the heat – I sit at an open window without coat or vest & devoid of a neck handkerchief too & freely own it needs the spur of energy to wield the pen'. He gives six readings for the day of writing from the thermometer in his bedroom. 'We hear by Telegram of your severe winter – having generally a short summary posting us up to within a day or two of the latest London News – Parliamentary General Atmosphere & Foreign'. He turns to one of the previous groups he has encountered on his present journey: 'Alas! alas! for the poor Basutos more to pity than blame – my sympathy is with them & largely with the French Protestant Missions & Missionaries of British last word underlined Basutoland – As for the Transvaal –! I say nothing of the Annexation – save that it is a fact & as a fact the Boors sic with infatuated Paul Krugher sic at their head – in sowing the wind will too surely reap the whirlwind in which England will doubtless have her suffering shame.' Turning back to Australia he writes: 'We got a peep or two at the Melbourne Exhibition – wonderful in its danger & execution when we think that a trip thither on the attaining of the majority would have found thee in the midst of the where stately buildings rear their heads aloft & their notes of progress are sounded on all sides – we see the outcome of gold & wool – enormous the former & likely to be enormous still – as for the wool where is the limit – The next Census of the Australian Colonies that is to say the Sheep of Australasia is I am told numbered at Seventy Millions!! The Wool exhibition is very attractive – such fleeces & such quality – I do suppose no such an assemblage & quality & variety was ever seen in one focus before! - The Victorian and other wools at the Exhibition will be I doubt not while not as fine – a memory of many days -'. He begins the final paragraph: 'Thy allusions in thy letter to passing events could not fail to interest me – social civil and moral & religious – I often long for more'. He sends his love 'to Brinkburn to thyself thy Meetings & home circles' and ends by quoting from verses by F. R. Havergal. 'Jameson Victoria | Australia'. 1 February 1881. unknown

A Place for Memory: Baltimore's Historic Laurel Cemetery
Hardback. New. <p>Laurel Cemetery was incorporated in 1852 as a nondenominational cemetery for African Americans of Baltimore Maryland. It was the final resting place for thousands of Baltimoreans and many prominent members of the community including religious leaders educators political organizers and civil rights activists. During its existence the privately owned cemetery changed hands several times and by the 1930s the site was overgrown and garbage strewn from years of improper maintenance and neglect. In the 1950s legislation was adopted permitting the demolition and sale of the property for commercial purposes. Despite controversy over the new legislation local opposition to the demolition numerous lawsuits and NAACP supported court appeals the cemetery was demolished in 1958 to make room for the development of a shopping center. Prior to the bulldozing of the cemetery a few hundred gravestones and an unknown number of burials fewer than 200 were exhumed and relocated to a new site in Carroll County. Ongoing archival research has thus far documented over 18000 projected to be over 40000 original burials most of which still remain interred beneath the Belair-Edison Crossing shopping center property which occupies the footprint of the old cemetery.</p><p>This book highlights and historicizes underexplored and forgotten people and events associated with the cemetery stressing the importance of their work in laying the social economic and political foundation for Baltimore’s African American community. Additionally this text details the unsuccessful fight to prevent the cemetery’s destruction and the more recent grassroots formation of the Laurel Cemetery Memorial Project to research and commemorate the site and the people buried there.</p> hardcover
