LATE OF ANDALUSIA COUNTY OF BUCKS PENNSYLVANIA IN THE COURT OF OYER AND TERMINER HELD AT DOYLESTOWN FOR BUCKS DECEMBER TERM 1831 CONTINUED TO FEBRUARY TERM 1832. PREPARED FOR PUBLICATION BY. STUDENT OF LAW
Philadelphia: G.W. Mentz & Son 1832. Later cloth. 2 213 1 blank 11 pp. With the Supplement on the trial of Lino which as Cohen notes was sometimes excluded from the book. Scattered foxing lacks front free endpaper rear endpaper dirty light rubberstamp on title page Good. Lucretia "past forty and buxom" and Lino a young boarder who claimed to be the son of the Spanish governor of California became lovers; a decision was reached to rid themselves of Lucretia's inconvenient husband. "Five weeks after he arrived Lino purchased a quarter of a pound of arsenic from a Philadelphia druggist explaining that he used it in stuffing birds. The following day Mr. Chapman was taken ill; four days later he was dead." Soon thereafter the lovers "were quietly married in New York.Almost immediately the true character of the Spanish adventurer came out with the disappearance of the family silver and other obvious signs of his chicanery." His activities came to the attention of the police who decided to investigate Mr. Chapman's death. They discovered that "he was heavily dosed with arsenic" and arrested them both. This book contains all the material on Lucretia's trial. Lino was tried separately convicted and executed. Lucretia was acquitted. "It is difficult to tell whether they had acted in concert in the murder; at least the jury gave her the benefit of the doubt" quotations from McDade. McDade 169. Cohen 12416. G.W.

A SELECT BIBLIOGRAPHY OF THE NEGRO AMERICAN. A COMPILATION MADE UNDER THE DIRECTION OF ATLANTA UNIVERSITY BY THE TENTH ATLANTA CONFERENCE
Atlanta: The Atlanta University Press 1905. 711pp. Later grey buckram with original front wrapper affixed to the front board. Old dark stain in gutter throughout minor chipping in gutter of first five leaves moderate toning to text. Upper outer corner of last leaf chipped just touching the page number. Good. The third and greatly expanded edition of an early and important study of the history and literature of African Americans edited by noted educator editor and author W.E.B. Du Bois. It is almost certainly the first bibliography of African Americana compiled by an African American. This third edition was preceded by a first edition of only four pages in 1900 and a second edition of eleven pages in 1901 both published by Atlanta University in 1900. This bibliography was created and expanded by Du Bois at an early and highly productive phase of his long and distinguished career as a writer while he was researching and writing his seminal and highly-influential study THE SOULS OF BLACK FOLK published in 1903. The work opens with a short preface followed by a brief breakdown of the Tenth Atlanta Conference an annual academic event focused on African-American higher education the resolutions of said conference and a "Bibliography of Bibliographies of the Negro American." These sections are followed by the main two sections of the work. The first and most substantial portion is the titular "Select Bibliography of the Negro American" which runs thirty-six pages and lists notable African-American works alphabetically by author. The second major section lists prominent African-American periodicals also alphabetically. The final few pages are addenda to the two main sections. In his Preface Du Bois calls the work "imperfect" but thought it "better to print a poor bibliography of this great subject in the hope of bettering it in future editions than to wait longer for those better situated to do the work." The dedication reads: "To Keep the Memory of Phillis Wheatley David Walker Frederick Douglass William Wells Brown George Washington Williams and Paul Laurence Dunbar the Dead Pioneers." Another dedication lists Anthony Benezet Thomas Clarkson William Lloyd Garrison Benjamin Lundy Lydia Maria Child and Harriet Beecher Stowe "whose pens were mightier than the sword." Two much shorter editions preceded the present edition - numbering four and eleven pages respectively. This expanded work provides a much deeper selection of African-American literary and historical works. Though this expanded 1905 publication is the third edition of Du Bois's groundbreaking bibliography it is still the earliest of the three bibliographies of African Americans written by African Americans listed in Work's section titled "A Bibliography of Bibliographies on the Negro in the United States." It preceded both Schomburg's BIBLIOGRAPHICAL CHECKLIST OF AMERICAN NEGRO POETRY 1916 and Work's own NEGRO YEAR BOOK 1925. This third edition is the only edition of Du Bois's bibliography listed by Work. WORK p.632. The Atlanta University Press hardcover books

New York: Mainstream Publishers 1957-61. First editions of each of novel in the author's acclaimed Black Flame trilogy. Octavo original cloth three volumes. Association copy inscribed on the front free endpaper to his close friends and neighbors Thomas and Patricia Bell in volume one. Each are near fine in a very good dust jackets. First editions are uncommon especially signed. Du Bois called his epic Black Flame trilogy a fiction of interpretation. It acts as a representative biography of African American history by following one man Manuel Mansart from his birth in 1876 until his death. The Black Flame attempts to use this historical fiction of interpretation to recast and revisit the African American experience. The last book in this profound trilogy Worlds of Color opens when Mansart is sixty and a successful and established college president. Packed with political intrigue romance and social commentary the book provides a dark cynical view of the world and its relationship to the "Black Flame" or the potential of black civilization.

Signed by Du Bois on the front free endpaper. First published in 1935. Black Reconstruction in America is a history of the Reconstruction era by W. E. B. Du Bois 1868-1963. In this somewhat scarce title Du Bois offered a significantly different view of from the standard academic view of Reconstruction at the time the Dunning School which contended that the period was a failure and downplayed the contributions of African Americans. Du Bois argued directly against these accounts emphasizing the important role and blacks played during the Civil War and Reconstruction. He believed that this period held promise for a worker-ruled democracy to replace a slavery-based plantation economy.</p> S.A. Russell, books

Personal library marks a few marks in text in pencil small stain to upper edge of pages but overall very good due to an expert recasing job. Very Good. An uncommon signed first edition copy of Du Bois' first autobiographical work of three composed of essays originally written in The Atlantic the Independent The Crisis and The Journal of Race Development. We believe this to be from Du Bois' personal library arriving at auction with several other books bearing identical marks to the spines the other books had the Du Bois library stamp to front free endpapers this copy is signed by Du Bois in ink. There are a few marks in pencil to the contents in an unknown hand. Expertly recased in black cloth with the original cloth preserved where extant - we acquired it without a rear board - and quite presentable. Without definitive proof of his ownership we have priced it for what it is a very uncommon signed first edition copy attractively restored. New York unknown books
