The Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society was founded in 1835 but it appears to be the successor to the New England Anti-Slavery Society founded a few years earlier in 1831. This installment gives a glimpse of the organization's membership and finances. The pamphlet also presents some of the group's resolutions including their strong rejection of the Colonization Society which wanted to send slaves back to Africa. Interestingly the society discusses "the women question" which appears to have been settled by a vote to include women as members. Isaac Knapp,

1862rif. 127191862. The Detroit Free Press April 12 1862 reports House passage of legislation abolishing slavery in the District of Columbia one of the first major federal emancipation measures enacted during the Civil War. The bill preceded the Emancipation Proclamation and applied directly to the national capital where slavery remained legal despite Washington's position as the seat of the federal government. The issue records the congressional process behind the measure through detailed debate and proposed amendments preserving contemporary political arguments over federal authority emancipation and slavery during the second year of the war. The Detroit Free Press. Detroit Michigan. April 12 1862. Two pages measuring 19 × 26 inches. The front-page headline reads "The Bill Abolishing Slavery in the District of Columbia Passed the House." Coverage provides a blow-by-blow account of debate among House members and the various amendments considered with the bill concluding "The bill was passed 93 agains 39." The issue also contains local national and international reporting including a section headed "News From the South." Congressional passage placed the District of Columbia on a distinct path toward emancipation before Lincoln issued the preliminary Emancipation Proclamation later in 1862. Because the newspaper records both the vote and the legislative arguments surrounding the measure it documents emancipation as a contested act of federal lawmaking rather than solely as a presidential policy. Small tears at the left margin do not affect the text. A diagonal crease crosses the upper half of the paper and a small piece of yellow tape is adhered to the top margin. Very good condition overall. unknown

1836rif. 175381836. This pamphlet is a return to an Address of the House of Commons from March 25 1836 whereby the Agent of Jamaica William Burge protests against the unilateral abolition of slavery in the British Empire. Ordered to be printed by the House of Commons in London April 1836. 13 pages. 13" x 8.25" inches. Included within is a copy of three letters from the Agent to Lord Glenelg the British colonial secretary as well Burge's protest to Glenelg. Burge states: He is desirous that His Majesty's Government should understand that this Protest is made not as the performance of a formal act of official duty but from his conviction that the proposed legislation for Jamaica is a direct violation of the constitutional rights of that Colony rights coeval with its establishment and which have hitherto been respected." The Agent was a colonial official who was the official representative of a British colony who was based in London and acted as lobbyists and trade negotiators for the affairs of the colony. While Burge had at other times claimed to "hate" slavery he employs the British analogue of the "states rights'" argument that many moderate politicians in the United States used to signal personal distaste for slavery but to nonetheless protect the institution's existence on the basis of constitutionality. When the institution of slavery died out in the British Empire after 1836 the abolitionist movement in the US gained tremendous momentum despite the protests of our own William Burge's. This piece is overall in very good condition. unknown

1881rif. 505Paris, Guillaumin et cie, 1881. Seule et unique édition. Plaquette in-8, 14 x 22 cm pour 92 pp. Reliure postérieure demi-chagrin tabac, dos à trois nerfs, nom d'auteur, titre et année en caractères dorés sur la reliure, plats marbrés chocolat, tranchefile. Couverture préservée, en partie coupée et montée sur un papier plus récent. Publié quelques années avant l'abolition définitive de l'esclavage au Brésil, ce document est le fruit d'un débat entre deux personnalités de l'époque : Louis Couty, professeur polytechnicien en poste à Rio de Janeiro, et Victor Schœlcher, sénateur anti-esclavagiste. Le second s'étant montré particulièrement virulent contre un empire brésilien à qui il reprochait d'avoir encore des esclaves sur ses terres, Couty, connaisseur et ami du Brésil, tient à défendre les efforts du gouvernement brésilien pour l'abolition. En creux, il dessine l'une des premières sociologies en français du pays. La défense de Couty est suivie d'une lettre de Victor Schœlcher. Un document rare et qui marque un jalon en termes d'histoire brésilienne vue de France.
