1733réf. 85126, 1733-1736, in-4, 8-8 p, Demi-toile chagrinée noire postérieure, titre doré en long, Réunion de deux pamphlets démontrant la posture des autorités médicales et religieuses à propos des miracles et des possessions : le premier, relatif aux convulsionnaires, a été produit l'année de l'interdiction des réunions sur la tombe de François de Pâris ; le second copie une pièce produite en 1662 au sujet des possessions des Ursulines d'Auxonne. 1. La Lettre d'un confesseur [...] (sans nom, ni lieu. Datée du 25 mars 1733) pose la question de la responsabilité des médecins face aux miracles et convulsions opérés au cimetière de Saint-Médard de Paris et de leur rôle à déterminer s'il s'agit de réalités ou supercheries. Le médecin Philippe Hecquet (1661-1737) publia la même année une Réponse à cette lettre, plus connue et moins rare. 2. Le Jugement [...] sur la prétendue possessions des filles d'Auxonne (Suivant la copie imprimée à Châlons-sur-Saône, 1736) rapporte l'opinion des médecins et ecclésiastiques (archevêque de Toulouse et évêques de Rennes, Rodez et Châlons-sur-Saône) sur le cas des possessions démoniaques survenues dans le couvent des Ursulines d'Auxonne près de Dijon entre 1658 à 1663. Ce jugement fut fait à la suite de la visite, en 1661, de l'évêque de Chalon-sur-Saône. À l'instar du couvent de Loudun, trente ans auparavant, le couvent d'Auxonne fut le théâtre de retentissantes possessions diaboliques de 1658 à 1663. Avec force tapages, délires et convulsions, les religieuses se disaient habitées par les démons ; l'épidémie se rependit sur la ville, et des femmes laïques, jugées responsables, furent condamnées au bannissement ou massacrées par la population. En octobre 1660, la soeur de Sainte-Colombe, Barbe Buvée, fut accusée de magie, de sortilège et d'infanticide et, reconnue comme la principale coupable, mise aux fers au couvent, avant d'être innocentée quelques mois plus tard par le parlement de Dijon (Calmeil, De la Folie.., 1845, t. 2, p. 132 : cite cette pièce).

Miller 730; Smith Friends' Books I p. 240. For "Observations": Sabin 4676; Evans 8542. Boards a little dried and scuffed with a couple of small stains text variably toned because of colonial paper quality perhaps a fifth of the text rather browned dampstaining in the upper margin in the middle part of the volume mostly unobtrusive but darker and extending downward on a few leaves. The texts in the kind of problematic condition expected with early American imprints but the binding much better than is normally seen. This is a presentation copy of an important published collection of Quaker texts that includes four works printed by Benjamin Franklin as well as an early significant abolitionist tract that delivers a powerful condemnation of the slave trade. The collection title page lists nine tracts in total six of which were issued with separate title pages comprising: "An Extract from the Spirit of Prayer" by W. Law; "A Discourse on Mistakes concerning Religion" by Thomas Hartley; "Christ's Spirit or a Christian's Strength" "The Stumbling Stone" "The Doctrine of Baptism" and "The Trial of Spirits" all by William Dell; "The Liberty of Flesh and Spirit Distinguished" by J. Rutty; and "Observations on Enslaving Importing and Purchasing of Negroes &c." followed by "The Uncertainty of a Death-bed Repentance" both by Anthony Benezet. Miller asserts that "the first fifth sixth and seventh had previously been printed by Benjamin Franklin and David Hall all in Caslon type. The remainder had been printed by Christopher Saur who owned no Caslon letter." The volume title also in Calson type is attributed to the press of Franklin and Hall for the same reason. According to Miller Anthony Benezet put together this collection of Quaker material in the spring of 1760 in an edition of 500 copies with the hope of reaching those living "in ye back Parts of Maryland Virginia & N. Carolina . . . and Connecticut." First printed in 1759 Benezet's forceful denunciation of the slave trade is notable for using eyewitness accounts from people actually involved with the trade recounting the horrific practices and conditions that were realities of the system. Citing various lines of scripture Benezet argues that slavery runs contrary to Christian teachings and Mosaic law and that those who purchase and keep slaves bear as much guilt as the traders themselves. Born in France to Huguenot parents Benezet 1713-84 was a Quaker abolitionist educator and writer who became one of the earliest and most outspoken advocates against slavery in colonial America. He emigrated to Philadelphia by way of Rotterdam and London in 1731 where he founded Pennsylvania's first secondary school for girls and later opened one of the first schools to welcome black students. ANB says that "Although Benezet is recognized as the most prolific antislavery propagandist of the eighteenth century throughout his lifetime he supported and wrote about a wide variety of causes and topics including assistance for Acadian refugees temperance peace fair treatment of Native Americans religion educational reform and poor relief." His wife Joyce Benezet d. 1786 née Marriott was a preacher in the faith herself. According to Waldstreicher Franklin maintained a "lifelong friendship with Quaker politicians merchants and scientists. . . . He admired Quakerism because of its affirmation of simplicity frugality anti-slavery and humanitarianism." Franklin also saw the possibility of profit in printing for the considerable Quaker population of his colony. Hall 1714-72 came to Philadelphia from London in 1744 to work for Franklin and became a partner in the firm in 1748. As a considerable mark of his regard for Hall Franklin drew up a contract whereby his partner would over an 18-year period buy him out. It is a further sign of Franklin's regard for Hall that the printer is buried beside Franklin and his wife. As to contemporaneous provenance we can speculate with some degree of certainty that our William Anderson was the person of that name who was a Quaker preacher from Haverford near Philadelphia. His wife Margaret--like Benezet's wife Joyce--was also a preacher and these two husband-and-wife teams are dealt with in Rebecca Larson's "Daughter of Light: Quaker Women Preaching and Prophesying in the Colonies and Abroad 1700-1775" 1999 Appendix 2. .
