1861rif. 156211861. Beecher Henry Ward circa 1860s carte-de-visite portrait depicts the Congregationalist minister and abolitionist during the decade in which the national conflict over slavery culminated in the Civil War and emancipation. The Library of Congress identifies Beecher as an abolitionist author and Congregationalist clergyman with the bulk of his surviving papers dating from 1840 to 1865. As pastor of Plymouth Church in Brooklyn Beecher opposed the Fugitive Slave Law encouraged resistance to slavery supported Free-State settlers in Kansas and used his pulpit to raise money to purchase enslaved people from bondage. His association with antislavery rifles sent to Kansas also produced the widely used term "Beecher's Bibles." Albumen print carte de visite circa 1860s. 2½ x 4 inches. Sepia-toned image showing Beecher formally dressed and seated presented as a head-and-shoulders portrait. The small photographic format dates from a period when Beecher was nationally prominent as a clergyman and antislavery speaker. His abolitionist activity immediately preceding the Civil War included opposition to the Compromise of 1850 and Fugitive Slave Law and support for antislavery settlement in Kansas; in February 1860 he used Plymouth Church to raise the purchase price required to free a ten-year-old enslaved girl known as Pinky. The portrait dates to the decade in which Beecher's antislavery advocacy became connected to the Civil War itself. At the April 1865 flag-raising ceremony at Fort Sumter following the Union victory Beecher delivered an address condemning slavery after Robert Anderson raised the United States flag over the fort. The carte de visite is in excellent condition. A contemporary photographic portrait of one of the nineteenth century's prominent abolitionist clergymen dating from the period encompassing the Civil War and the abolition of slavery in the United States. unknown

rif. 20451In-8, broché, couverture papier moderne, tranches rouges, 48 p. Paris, Imprimerie Nationale, [1790].
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.

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
