When Mann took office as Secretary the free public school system was characterized by "short school terms dilapidated and unsanitary school-houses untrained and underpaid teachers and irrational methods of teaching. He brought to his new duties such a degree of courage vision and wisdom that during the brief twelve years in which he held office the Massachusetts school system was almost completely transformed" DAB. This first Report was significant for its "presentation and discussion of school problems of crucial importance. The needs and remedies growing out of these problems are set forth with convincing clearness and with the fervor of a prophet and reformer" Id.

In original tan paper wrappers printed on front; 160pp. Largely sound though front wrapper partially detached some losses to paper over spine minor staining to wraps scattered foxing: Very Good. Mann was Secretary of the Massachusetts Board of Education from 1837-1848. Though his only power as secretary was "to collect and disseminate information" he nontheless worked hard to improve the lacklustre public school system. "As a mean of informing the public . . . his twelve annual reports 1837-1848. . . were unsurpassed. Chock full of statistical data the reports-which were widely read and circulated-presented the problems of the common schools as well as possible solutions" ANB.

1850ref. 62509Boston: Redding and Company 1850. Opposing the Extension of Slavery in the Territories with Interesting Provenance Boston edition of a speech by Horace Mann before the United States House of Representatives in which Mann declares his opposition to the extension of slavery in the territories. Horace Mann 1796-1859 was an education reformer politician and abolitionist from Massachusetts. In 1848 following the death of John Quincy Adams Mann was elected to the U.S. House to serve out the remainder of Adams's term. For more than a decade Mann had fought for education reform as secretary of the Massachusetts State Board of Education and he hoped his seat in Congress would give him the opportunity to bring about reform at the national level. Instead however Mann found himself preoccupied with what was perhaps the most pressing political issue of the day: slavery and its extension in the territories. This is the subject of the present speech given on the floor of the House of Representatives on February 15 1850. In it Mann states his opposition to slavery and its extension on moral and legal grounds. Embracing "the epithet 'Free-Soiler'" Mann insists that he "will engage in any honorable measure most likely to secure freedom to the new Territories" and "resist any and every measure that proposes to abandon them to slavery." Mann goes on to adopt the rallying cry "No more slave Territories no more slave States." Given the South's ultimatum of extension or secession Mann closes with what turned out to be his most forceful – and most controversial – statement: "In conclusion I have only to add that such is my solemn and abiding conviction of the character of slavery that under a full sense of my responsibility to my country and my God I deliberately say better disunion - better a civil or a servile war - better any thing that God in his providence shall send than an extension of the bounds of slavery." Much to Mann's disappointment later that year saw the passage of the Compromise of 1850 which not only failed to prohibit slavery's extension in the territories but worse still Mann thought included the Fugitive Slave Act which required the return of escaped slaves to their owners while denying them the rights of habeas corpus and a trial by jury. Mann's outspoken opposition to the act as well as his criticism of fellow Whig Daniel Webster who helped broker the compromise cost Mann the party's nomination for his congressional seat in 1850. However in a turn of events that in retrospect made his comments from the previous February about being a "Free-Soiler" seem prophetic Mann managed to secure the Free Soil nomination before going on to win reelection by a landslide. This copy bears the bookplate of Walter L. Pforzheimer 1914-2003 a lawyer intelligence officer and book collector. Pforzheimer was one of the founders of the Central Intelligence Agency having served as an Army Air Force intelligence officer and worked on a number of operations for the Office of Strategic Services - the forerunner to the C.I.A. - during World War II. Among these was an operation called the "Yale Library Project" a mission for which Pforzheimer as a member of the Yale Library Associates used his role as a cover to launder money for the O.S.S. In 1956 Pforzheimer founded the C.I.A.'s Historical Intelligence Collection and went on to serve as the collection's first curator. The rear wrapper of this Boston edition notes other speeches on slavery published by Redding and Company including by Henry Clay John C. Calhoun and William Seward. Another edition of Mann's speech appeared the same year in Washington D.C. and the speech was reprinted the following year as part of a collection of Mann's speeches on the subject. A powerful speech attacking slavery from one of the most contentious legislative sessions in the history of the United States Congress. Original printed brown wrappers.
