Joshua Bradley was the pastor of churches in Rhode Island Connecticut Vermont and New York he first affirmed and later renounced freemasonry creating no small stir among his former masonic brethren.

At that time Bradley was a member of Newport Royal Arch Chapter and Grand Chaplain of the Washington Encampment of Newport. However about a decade later while preparing to defend freemasonry against the rising tide of antimasonry he altered his views and abruptly did an about face renouncing freemasonry in the light of the antimasonic movement then causing chaos in the country citing the murder of William Morgan as one reason. He became a vocal antagonist of freemasonry. Printed by G.J. Loomis & Co unknown books

As Morgaine and Gwenhwyfar struggle for control over the fate of Arthur's kingdom as the Knights of the Round Table take on their infamous quest as Merlin and Viviane wield their magics for the future of Old Britain the Isle of Avalon slips further into the impenetrable mists of memory until the fissure between old and new worlds' and old and new religions' claims its most famous victim.

réf. 9066Georgia 1873. Broadside 18" x 12.75" text in five columns. CONDITION: Good old folds light dampstaining one small stain in the second column one tiny puncture at right margin and a small puncture at center causing losses to three letters. A scarce broadside concerning two Federal court decisions that upheld the selection of African American jurors in Georgia per the 14th and 15th Amendments. This broadside was published a day after the decision of Judge Joseph Bradley Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the U.S. in the U.S. Circuit Court Southern District of Georgia regarding the mixed-race jury in the case of United States Vs. Appleton P. Collins of Macon Georgia "on indictment for violation of Enforcement Act." In 1872 Collins participated in a racially-fueled riot involving voter intimidation against African Americans at a Macon voting station that resulted in fatalities. Responding to "the argued motion to quash the indictment against Mr. A. B. Collins.on the ground of the illegal selection of the grand jury" Judge Bradley upholds an earlier decision delivered in Atlanta by Judge John Erskine of the U.S. Circuit Court in the Northern District of Georgia which calls for juries to be selected "without regard to race color or previous condition." The broadside reprints the decisions of Judges Bradley and Erskine both of which reject motions by white defendants arguing that the mixed-race juries in their respective trials were illegal. Prior to emancipation both enslaved and free African Americans were barred from testifying in court against whites an exclusion that the Black Codes passed by state governments across the South during Reconstruction sought to uphold by making it illegal for African Americans to serve on juries or testify against whites. These codes were countered by the Enforcement Acts 1870-71 which protected those contested rights and allowed Federal intervention in the event of states' failure to uphold them. Judge Bradley's recent decision is presented first. He opens by observing that U.S. courts are independent of state laws and that their processes and procedures are subject to the sole regulation of Congress and its courts. Bradley thus establishes the sovereignty of the Federal government over individual states in spite of the Black Codes. On the subject of selecting and empaneling jurors in the U.S. courts Bradley invokes the Congressional mandate that they be designated by lot "and that they should have the same qualification as required for jurors in the highest courts of the State"-a rule that has its precedent in the July 20 1840 Act of Congress 5 Stat. 394. Bradley states that conformity between Congress and state law concerning jury selection is required on two fronts: "first in reference to the qualifications and exemptions of jurors; secondly in reference to the mode of designating and empanelling jurors as by ballot lot or otherwise." In Georgia he continues the only qualifications of jurors are that "they shall be upright and intelligent jurors between the ages of 21 and 60" and-following an 1869 statute-that they be taxpayers. Officers-state or county officials-are to select from the body of the District 500 persons "without regard to race color or previous condition to serve as jurors" which is "in accord with the spirit of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the Constitution by which all persons born or naturalized in the United States are citizens and entitled to full equality before the laws." The broadside then reprints an earlier decision sustained by Bradley of Judge Erskine in the 1872 case United States vs. William Gardner on "indictment for violation of Revenue laws." Erskine writes: "Before the perusal of the panel comprised of six white persons and six colored the defendant challenged the array on the ground that the jury was illegally constituted and moved that it be quashed." By a rule of the U.S. District Court for this District that was adopted at the March term of 1871 the Marshal was instructed to select the "most upright and intelligent persons" without regard to race or color from the jury list of the county. Concerning the word "most" Erskine writes that the question is raised "by learned counsel on both sides" whether the word was "to apply to each class white or colored." He responds: "At most the word but expressed moral fitness as necessary to the end proposed." Of the nearly 1700 names forwarded to the Marshal 250 names were picked and "strange as it may appear every ballot drawn from the box contained the name of a white person." The ratio in this Judicial District of whites to Blacks is eight to five. Erskine comments: It is obvious to the common mind that that mode of designating or selecting these jurors cast the entire burden of jury service in the Federal Court upon one of the classes only- white citizens; thus released colored citizens who possessed the constitutional and statutory qualifications for jurors from the performance of a duty which they equally with the qualified white citizens owed to their country. Not only the Constitution of this State but the recent amendments to the National Constitution have made the colored man a citizen habilitating him with all the rights privileges and immunities enjoyed by the white citizen: therefore he should perform his part of the public labor. Erskine cites an 1872 amendment ordering that "each ballot shall be so rolled that neither the name nor the county can be seen. The ballots shall then be placed in the box and thoroughly mixed." It is noted that no property qualification is required in Georgia for an individual to serve as a juror. "To be 'white' was another qualification for a juror but this no longer exists-State Constitution supra." The broadside concludes with Erskine's examination of a number of other cases. The defendant in the first case Dr. Appleton P. Collins 1835-1886 was born in Macon Georgia and graduated from the Medical College of New Orleans immediately before the Civil War broke out. He enlisted in the 2nd Battalion Georgia Infantry Co. B in May 1861 and was discharged in September 1862 when he was approved to serve as an assistant surgeon for the Confederate Army. After the war he was appointed city physician for Macon. In 1872 the Georgia Weekly Telegraph Journal and Messenger reported a violent encounter between white and Black voters at a Macon voting station in which several people were killed. The white participants' intimidation tactics violated the Enforcement Act and evidently led to the case United States Vs. Appleton P. Collins. Witnesses quoted in the Telegraph article described the events as follows: The white and blacks had met and there seemed to be a great struggle at the polls as to which should vote. I called the attention of the gentleman to it and proposed to go down and draw away the blacks until arrangements could be made for voting. There were more blacks than whites-a great many more. The colored people were confined to the rear most of the morning but had made a sort of flank movement and were coming from two directions.The struggle between the men seemed to be to see which should get the polls .I was engaged at the time with a white man and a colored man who seemed struggling to see who should get on the terrace.That was Dr. Appleton Collins. He was in a fight with a negro.I saw a pistol between them. No examples recorded in OCLC but we find an example at the University of Georgia. A fascinating broadside offering insight into race relations as they pertained to jury selection for trials in Georgia during the Reconstruction era. REFERENCES: "Appleton P.

1933réf. 71212Oxford: At the Clarendon Press 1933. First edition in the earliest state of the original 125 fascicles plus the final Supplement Bibliography and Introduction contained in 14 blue cloth clamshell boxes. Large 4to wrappers some loose 2 back wrappers missing and cloth-backed boards many of the latter with dust jackets jackets often with nicks tears splits and some with occasional loss; with many prefaces prefatory notes titles half titles and assorted ephemera etc. most not included in the book edition; a complete set in the most desirable state. This copy belonged to Fitzedward Hall 1825-1901 the American Orientalist and philologist and the author of several works on Sanskrit and Hindi who was "with another US citizen Dr. William Chester Minor the 'professor' in The Professor and the Madman one of the most important and most obsessive collaborators the OED Project's director Sir James Murray 1837-1915 had and is recognized as such in many of the prefaces to the Dictionary itself" Wikipedia. The first fascicle A-ANT is inscribed to Hall by the editor A. H. Murray three days prior to its publication date of February 1 1884. "To F. Hall Esq. D.C.L. / With Compliments and very special Thanks of / James A. H. Murray / 29 Jany. 1884." The second fascicle ANT-BATTEN is also inscribed: "To Fitzedward Hall Esq. D.C.L. / with the deeply grateful regards of / James A. H. Murray / Oxford 12 Nov 1885." Says Murray in the introductory matter to A-ANT: "Henry Hucks Gibbs Esq. M.A. and Fitzedward Hall Esq. D.C.L. who have given general help in every direction .Mr. Gibbs and Mr. Hall have read all but the earliest proof-sheets supplied deficiencies and given valuable literary criticism." Later Murray noted: "Time would fail to tell of the splendid assistance rendered to the Dictionary by Dr. Fitzedward Hall who devotes nearly his whole day to reading the proofs.and to supplementing correcting and increasing the quotations taken from his own exhaustless stores. When the Dictionary is finished no man will have contributed to its illustrative wealth so much as Fitzedward Hall. Those who know his books know the enormous wealth of quotation which he brings to bear upon every point of English literary usage; but my admiration is if possible increased when I see how he can cap and put the cope-stone on the collections of our 1500 readers." After his death in February 1901 when the dictionary was up to the letter 'J' "Murray corresponded with Hall's son to try to find and reference the supplies of quotations his father had noted but not submitted with unclear results." There are perhaps a couple of hundred or so annotations in the early fascicles by Fitzedward Hall. They are written in a tiny hand and are often in abbreviated or shorthand form and frankly difficult to read let alone parse. "In 1919-1920 J. R. R.
