An Authentic Account of the Conversion and Experience of a Negro

1795ref. 7213London: T. Wilkins 1795. First British edition. First separate edition. Measuring 205 x 120mm and complete in 4 pages. A Fine example. Scarce in all formats it was first printed in Vermont in 1793 and also contained a"faithful narrative.towards Polly Davis" one copy survives at AAS; soon after an edition was released from Maine containing "a poem on Christian Experience" only two copies survive both at NYPL. The present first British edition is also the first separately printed edition recorded by ESTC at only 9 libraries. It has come to auction on only five occasions with the present being the only example currently in trade. An Authentic Account records a brief encounter between a white Englishman and an enslaved Black man on a plantation in New York. Focusing their dialogue on the word of God and on salvation the white narrator asserts that the two men could find common ground as "children of God.equally effectual with him" despite their diametrically opposed positions within the social power structure. "Neither the color of his body nor the condition of his present life could prevent him from being my dear brother in our dear saviour." Despite this argument for the spiritual equality of men of all races the white narrator in An Authentic Account never questions nor seeks to subvert a power structure that would empower him while violently debasing Black people. Rather he passively participates in the Evangelical attitude so common of the era which considered enslavement an opportunity for saving the souls of uncivilized peoples who otherwise could not access the word of God. It was a position which abolitionist Evangelicals including William Wilberforce and Hannah More would decry as the height of hypocrisy in their own work during the period calling upon Christians not only to see Black people as spiritual equals but also as humans deserving equal liberty and dignity.

EH Consignment. References: ESTC R21850; Sabin 98500. Henry Vane 1613-1662 emigrated from England to New England in 1635. A member of the most radical wing of the Puritans he was elected governor of Massachusetts in 1636 but returned to join the Long Parliament in 1637. Vane's stay in Massachusetts was tempestuous and he returned to England in 1637 to become a member of the Long Parliament though his interest in New England continued. After the Restoration he was imprisoned for two years convicted of treason and executed. The present text authored by a partisan in favor of Vane includes the speech Vane intended to give from the scaffold but was barred by the court. The speech argues for parliamentary sovereignty and other radical political ideas that proved influential among American colonists. 1381629. Special Collections - Downstairs. [s.n.] hardcover

Untitled Gerusaleme

ref. NL-02380Quite likely the only surviving example. From time to time we encounter works that despite our best efforts resist definitive identification. Such is the case with this fascinating 17th-century engraved view of Jerusalem. The sheet which survives in excellent condition appears to have been designed for inclusion in a larger publication. However the absence of editorial data institutional records or market parallels makes it impossible to determine the intended work or its creator with certainty. A somewhat schematic bird's-eye view of the fortified ancient city of Jerusalem dominates the center of the composition. Among the recognizable landmarks are the large enclosure of the Temple Mount Haram al-Sharif and the Roman amphitheater below it. Mount Zion with the palaces of David and Solomon appears as a small walled cluster near the bottom of the scene. Outside the city walls crosses mark the site of Golgotha — locus of the Crucifixion. Above the city view virtually dominating the composition is a large circular panel depicting the crucified Christ flanked by the Virgin Mary and Mary Magdalene. Hovering above this scene God the Father looks down with open hands offering a gesture of blessing. The triangular halo symbolizes the Trinity and his presence completes the Trinitarian theme complemented by the dove of the Holy Spirit and the Son depicted in the panel below. The entire composition is framed by an elaborate architectural border in the ornate Baroque style typical of the period. At the base a large blank cartouche—meant to hold editorial information—is held by two monks. Above two additional monks support the circular panel of Christ. While the monks serve as generic emblems of sacred authority and devotion the frame's four corners include identifiable saints: at the top St. Bernardino of Siena left and St. Francis of Assisi right; at the bottom St. Bonaventure left and St. Anthony of Padua right each flanking a second pair of empty cartouches intended for annotation. Census We have not been able to identify the publication for which this engraving was intended. Indeed we do not even know if that publication ever came to fruition or who was behind it. From our extensive descriptive and pictorial searches we have found no parallels or bibliographic references allowing us to conclude that this view is very rare.
