1780Best.-Nr. 57363London: G. Kearsly 1780. First Edition. 8vo pp.4 91 1. Includes the half title removed from a bound volume. Very good. Not in Adams nor Sabin. Refers to the Gordon Riots also called No-Popery Riots that took place in London in June 1780. The Anti-Catholic agitation was instigated by Lord George Gordon. From Wikipedia: "The Gordon Riots of 1780 began as an anti-Catholic protest in London against the Papists Act of 1778 which intended to reduce official discrimination against British Catholics. The protest evolved into riots and looting. The Gordon Riots by Charles Green. The Popery Act 1698 had imposed a number of penalties and disabilities on Roman Catholics in England; the 1778 Act eliminated some of these. An initial peaceful protest led on to widespread rioting and looting and was the most destructive in the history of London. Painted on the wall of Newgate prison was the proclamation that the inmates had been freed by the authority of "His Majesty King Mob". The term "King Mob" afterwards denoted an unruly and fearsome proletariat.The Riots came at the height of the American War of Independence when Britain was fighting American rebels France Spain and the Dutch Republic. They led to unfounded fears that they had been a deliberate attempt by France and Spain to destabilise Britain before an imminent invasion similar to the Armada of 1779. G. Kearsly unknown books

1863Best.-Nr. 66742New York NY: P.W. Derham Printer and Stationer 15 Nassua Street Corner of Pine 1863. Folio broadside 48 x 29.5 cm. text in two columns beneath the title in display type. Old folds with slight damage; some foxing. Professionally rebacked. This broadside printed ca. 1863-4 offers a political analysis of the options for reconciliation with the Confederacy and a denunciation of the statements of Gov. Horatio Seymour. Printed by P.W. Derham a stationer from New York whose other surviving works include an 1862-4 broadside reprint of a pre-secession speech by Alexander H. Stephens Vice President of the Confederacy in which Stephens argues for preserving the Union Hummel 542: notes this is a "forged speech for the political campaign; 1864". The author of the broadside presents four scenarios for reconciliation with the South and examines the Confederate response to each by quoting several Southern newspapers including the Richmond Dispatch the Atlanta Intelligencer the Richmond Enquirer and the Charleston Mercury among others. The author proposes several solutions including applying for foreign intervention surrendering and appealing to the South to rejoin the Union and recognizing the independence of the Confederacy though invariably Confederate viewpoints making each option impossible are presented. For example the author proposes to "Hold out the olive branch confess our error in having resented the bombardment of Fort Sumter propose Peace and Union and with becoming dignity await the answer which the South cannot fail to give its faithful ally the Democratic Party" but then notes "that answer we have already." The author goes on to provide several quotes in which zealous Southern newspaper writers declare that they can never rejoin the Union again under any circumstances. The author also quotes several statements from Horatio Seymour who was running for re-election as governor of the state of New York implying he was a Southern sympathizer. Ultimately the author of the broadside in satirical style is unable to reach any convincing conclusion for the best method of attaining "Peace and Union" but represents an early rejection of the Peace Democrat or Copperhead positions which were to become so frequent 1862-64. Two listings found on OCLC: Lib. of Congress; NY Hist. Society. The New York Historical Society notes that the printer P.W. Derham was listed in New York City directories as at this address from 1863-1877 and that this broadside's purpose was "opposing the Democratic Party platform and the reelection of New York Democratic governor Horatio Seymour." Seymour 1810-1886 who had been elected governor of New York in 1852 and again in 1862 was running for re-election in 1864. He supported the Crittenden Compromise of 1860 in an effort to keep the South from seceding but supported the Civil War once it commenced. According to his biography in the DAB he continued to oppose some of Pres. Lincoln's policies during the war and "insisted that the extra-constitutional powers assumed by the Lincoln administration were the most serious problem arising from the Civil War." For his actions in re-establishing order after the New York Draft Riots Horace Greeley characterized Seymour as a temporizing "Copperhead." Seymour lost his bid for re-election. P.W. Derham, Printer and Stationer, 15 Nassua Street, Corner of Pine unknown books
