In-8 (220 x143 mm), broché sous couture, 32 p., non rogné. Edition grenobloise à la date de l’originale parisienne. Important texte théorique lu le 26 septembre 1791, par l’abbé Grégoire, devant la Société des amis de la Constitution qu’il présidait et qui deviendra le club des Jacobins. Alors que l’Assemblée constituante se séparait pour faire place à la Législative, Grégoire analyse avec sévérité les travaux de l’Assemblée durant sa session de vingt-neuf mois et en appelle à un nouvel élan révolutionnaire. Il revient sur la question de l’inviolabilité du roi et s’interroge sur la validité des institutions, notamment le régime monarchique. D’importantes pages sont consacrées à la question de l’esclavage dans lesquels Grégoire constate l’échec de ses tentatives abolitionnistes et attaque violemment le lobby pro esclavagiste ainsi que les colons blancs des îles. WorldCat ne recense qu’un unique exemplaire de cette édition grenobloise dans le monde. Quelques piqûres éparses. Bon exemplaire, non rogné, tel que paru.

1862réf. 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
