1805réf. 21055261805. London: Whittingham for Hatchard. 1805. 8vo. Recent marbled wrappers; pp. 20 printed in two columns; one corner of title-page clipped light browning; a good copy of a great rarity.This combined offprint opens with a first-hand report by 'Leo Africanus' of a journey recently made on a slave ship from West Africa to the West Indies. On board the ship the Captian told the visitors and traveller 'that a slave ship was a very different thing from what it had been represented. We should find the slaves rejoicing in their happy state' p. 3. The truth however showed the sheer horror of this crime against humanity at high sea. This is followed on page ten by a discussion of a Hatchard-published pamphlet on the abolition of the slave trade. The present pamphlet is concluded by the refutation of the printed Letter to the Right Honorable W.Pitt containing some new Arguments against the Abolition of the Slave Trade in which the author Britannicus had argued 'if we give freedom to the negroes we shall ourselves indubitable become slaves of Bonaparte' p. 13. Post-truth over two hundred years ago. unknown

1860réf. 63532New York: Published and for sale at 5 Beekman Street 1860. First Edition. 12mo. 20th-c. binding of tan calf over paper-covered boards; marbled page edges; 951pp. About fine and complete; the pamphlet appears to have been offered without cover wrappers in any case not noted by Blanck. Uncommon first edition of this late tract by the important abolitionist and feminist Lydia Maria Child 1802-1880. Child's intention with this work was to make a direct case to southern slaveholders based not on any moral grounds but purely on business hoping that the Caribbean example would convince southerners that abolition could be achieved without wrecking their economy. "Child suggested to Samuel B. May the publisher .that the title page omit any mention of the American Anti-slavery Society giving only an address but no publisher. She even considered issuing the tract anyonymously but decided that her notoriety would probably help rather than hinder its circulation" see Karcher The First Woman in the Republic: a Cultural Biography of Lydia Maria Child. Durham 1994; p.428ff. Blanck notes two editions in 1860 as well as a reissue in 1862; this with verso of the final leaf unprinted is the first. Rarely encountered in commerce. BAL 3189.

1863réf. 101890Letterpress broadside 18 7/8" x 11 3/4" bold black type for highlighted words. Paper evenly toned some wrinkling considerable archival conservation and restoration with archival paper repair; despite the imperfections it is still a decent copy with a nice impression. This appears to fall into the political dirty tricks department in an election between John Brodhead and Henry Bumm for city treasurer in Philadelphia. The broadside is supposed to highlight a letter from John Brodhead to Jefferson Davis in 1860. It has strong racist overtones as Brodhead supposedly requests a position in Nicaragua so he can "help open it up to civilization and Niggers." He goes on to state he is "tired of being a white slave at the North and long for a home in the sunny South." These kinds of political tricks were not uncommon during the Civil War period perhaps that's still true today and the racist overtones would certainly not help one's chances in a Northern election. books

1858réf. 9866Washington 1858. Unbound. near Very Good binding. Octavo. 16 pp. First edition. Unbound folded sheet forming 8 leaves. Old folds with some closed tears/silverfishing along a couple the creases; staining to the bottom margin of a a few leaves not touching text; otherwise generally a very good copy. Circumstances surrounding Kansas's Lecompton Constitution brought the tension surrounding the confluence of statehood and slavery to a new level. A pro-slavery document the Lecompton Constitution and subsequent votes on it were a fraught and dishonest affair complete with subterfuge false choices boycotted votes and more all in service of establishing a pro-slavery constitution in a state that's populace had a clear and before the end demonstrable antislavery majority. This report before the House by Georgia's Alexander Stephens soon to be Vice President of the Confederate State of America defends a December election that was widely boycotted by antislavery voters because the options presented to the electorate both allowed for slavery to persist in Kansas despite the misleading language of the referendum. By August of this same year 1858 a new vote would be held to keep or toss out the Lecompton Constitution. In a vote that demonstrated the antislavery sentiment of Kansas residents the Constitution would be thrown out by a 7 to 1 margin. Leaving space for a constitution to be drafted and ratified prohibiting slavery in Kansas. Krdlicka James F. Colonists Citizens Constitutions: Creating the American Republic. Sabin 91261. unknown
