1835réf. 60564New York: Printed by William S. Dorr No. 70 Fulton Street 1835. 8vo. 87 1 pp. Printed blue-green publisher’s softcovers contents on back cover punch-sewn at gutter margin as issued minor edgewear slight chipping to spine 1 closed tear w/ minor archival repair on inner back cover still VG- copy. First edition of this surprisingly uncommon report of the second meeting of this pioneering American abolitionist society founded by William Lloyd Garrison editor of The Liberator magazine and Arthur Tappan while also featuring contributions by Frederick Douglass and William Wells Brown an African-American freedman. The society was very controversial as by the mid-1830’s slavery was ensconced into the American economy feeding wealth not only to Southern planters but also Northern merchants textile factory owners and shipowners. The first meeting and later misrepresentation had set off violent the violent Farren riots in New York where abolitionists homes and properties were attacked. The 1835 meeting not only agreed on the Society Constitution but also used fundraising to sponsor a great postal campaign to flood the South with Abolitionist literature. White supremacists responded by seizing and destroying the mail and on July 29 1835 3000 people gathered to burn Abolitionist writings and burn three in effigy. The speeches detail the progress of the result of Great Britain freeing 800000 slaves encouraging continued efforts to enroll African-American children and freed slaves into schools and declared that “prejudice which excludes our colored brethren from the rights and privileges of Men the Society lays the axe at the root of slavery. It removes the final bugbear that ‘the Slaves will be worse off when emancipated.’” This also features the extended interview and discussion with Abolitionist former slaveholder James Gillespie Briney 1792-1857 who freed his slaves joined the American Anti-Slavery Society and founded The Philanthropist in Cincinnati OH in 1835 after selling his plantation.

1836réf. 13107East Baton Rouge Parish LA: October 25 1836. 1p. on a single folded sheet integral blank docketed on verso. Old folds moderate toning and foxing short closed tear along one fold line a few small instances of ink burn. Overall good condition. An interesting document of legal testimony involving numerous named slaves in Louisiana in 1836 ranging in age from one year to almost thirty years of age and including seven children. According to the docketing the document is effectively a "Title to Slaves." The deponents were two local citizens John Bills and Andrew Black who had "personal knowledge of the fact that James D. Stuart and his wife Mary Gayle are now and have been for the last ten years & upwards the bona fide owners and possessors of the following named slaves: Juba Aged 25 and Sicily his wife aged 22 to whom have been born the children Braxton aged six years and Dan aged 3 years. Also the negro woman Celia aged 28 years and her children Mary 11 years Margaret 8 years Charley 6 years Sarah three years which slaves Juba Sicily & Celia were acquired by inheritance from the estate of Christopher Gayle. And they further depose that the negro woman Rachel aged 17 years was inherited by the said Stuart from the estate of his deceased mother.and that the said Rachel has now a child named Jacob of the age of one year." The document is signed by Black Bills and the Justice of the Peace Daniel D. Avery. Documents involving slave inheritance of and subsequent ownership by not one but both members of a marriage are exceedingly rare. October 25 unknown
