1836réf. 1691Boston: Isaac Knapp 1836. About very good. xvi13-238pp. 12mo. Original publisher's blue boards with black sheep spine gilt. Boards rubbed corners and spine moderately worn. Text lightly foxed. Scarce work addressing the anti-slavery work of George Thompson following his visit to America. Thompson 1804-1878 was British lecturer and reformer who worked as a commercial clerk. "Thompson first came to prominence in 1831 when he was recruited by the London Anti-Slavery Society's Agency Committee as an itinerant lecturer. In the run up to the Emancipation Act of 1833 he became the most effective British anti-slavery lecturer since Thomas Clarkson. With the struggle against British slavery apparently won Thompson was instrumental in reorienting anti-slavery effort towards the Americas and particularly the United States. . In 1834 he encountered the charismatic American abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison. Recognizing Thompson's talent Garrison invited him to travel to the United States with his growing family to labour there on behalf of the enslaved people of America" - DNB. Thompson employed sarcasm and vitriol in his orations attacking anti-abolitionist sentiment across the northern states. In the process he failed to make very many friends or converts and alienated those with more moderate views. "Opponents attacked him as a foreign interloper and an anti-American agitator. They also discovered a scandal in Thompson's past alleging that in 1829 he had absconded with £80 embezzled from his employer. His supporters angrily rejected this charge though Thompson later privately admitted it was true he eventually repaid the sum in full. Hostility increasingly turned violent and in fear of his life he was smuggled out of the country in October 1835 returning to a hero's welcome in Britain" - DNB. This work is a rebuttal made by Thompson's American supporters aggregating information from British sources to defend his good name and abolitionist efforts after fleeing America for his homeland. It includes some of Thompson's speeches on slavery in America given before audiences in Scotland and England and discusses his work with the American Anti-Slavery Society. Though there are a handful of institutional copies the work is scarce on the market and does not appear in auction records over the pasty forty years. Sabin 9324. American Imprints 36449.

1857réf. 23389.07Rare New York Senate Print of Proposed State Law to Combat the Dred Scott Decision "Every slave … who shall come or be brought or be involuntarily in this state shall be free." SLAVERY AND ABOLITION—NEW YORK STATE. New York Senate. "An Act To secure Freedom to all persons within this State" Edward M. Madden April 9 1857 Passed the Assembly on April 17; failed in the Senate. Printed with numbered lines for the use of the Senate. 1 p. 6.5 x 11.5 in. Excerpts "Neither descent near or remote from an African…nor color of skin shall disqualify any person for being or prevent any person from becoming a citizen of this state; nor deprive such person of the rights and privileges of a citizen thereof." "Every person who shall hold or attempt to hold in this state in slavery…under any pretence or for any time however short shall be deemed guilty of felony and on conviction thereof shall be confined in the state prison at hard labor for a term not less than two nor more than ten years." Historical Background In 1799 the New York legislature passed "An Act for the gradual abolition of slavery" that indentured and would eventually free slave children born after July 4 1799. In 1817 it passed a law freeing those slaves in 1827. But non-residents and part-time residents could still bring their slaves into the state temporarily. On March 14 1857 New York Assemblyman Samuel A. Foot introduced resolutions declaring that the U.S. Supreme Court through its decision in Dred Scott v. Sanford "has in effect declared slavery to be national" and calling for the creation of a joint committee of three senators and five assemblymen to "consider and report what measures if any the Legislature of this State ought to adopt to protect the constitutional rights of her citizens." The resolution passed by a vote of 49-24 and the Senate concurred on April 2. On April 9 Edward M. Madden introduced this bill in the Senate. Simultaneously Foot introduced this bill #24129 and three resolutions #23389.08 in the Assembly. Eight days later the Assembly with 81 Republicans 38 Democrats and 8 American Party members passed the bill 72 to 38. In the Senate with 17 Republicans 9 American Party members Know Nothings and 4 Democrats attempts to move the bill to the Committee of the Whole were evenly divided. Lacking the two-thirds majority required for this procedure the bill died. Very similar language appeared in an 1859 bill which also failed; New York passed no new Personal Liberty Law during the decade before the Civil War. The New York Senate had thirty-two members in 1857 so it is likely no more than fifty copies of this bill were printed for Senate consideration. We can find no evidence that any other copies have survived. Edward M. Madden 1818-1885 was born in Orange County New York and began work at a cotton factory at age nine. He worked as a merchant and then opened a saw factory in Middletown. He entered politics as a Democrat and was a delegate to the 1852 Democratic state convention. He joined the new Republican Party and served as a member of the New York Senate in 1856-1857 1872-1873 1875 and 1880-1881. He also served as a delegate to the 1864 and 1876 Republican National Conventions. books

In-8, broché, couverture papier moderne, tranches rouges, 24 p. Edition originale de ce rapport historique dans lequel Barnave résume les fondements de la politique coloniale de la Constituante: accorder une large marge d'initiative aux Assemblées coloniales, en particulier sur la question du maintien ou de l'abolition de l'esclavage, tout en affirmant que les colonies sont partie intégrante de "l'Empire français". Contient, en fin, le projet de décret de Barnave qui fut adopté sans changement. (Cf. analyse in Pluchon, 'Histoire de la colonisation française', p. 816 sq.). (Martin & Walter, 1750). Très bon exemplaire, très frais, entièrement non coupé.

"Le député de la Somme propose qu'aucun règlement sur l'état des personnes ne puisse être pris par le Conseil législatif sans la demande précise et formelle des assemblées coloniales. A la suite des interventions de Pétion, Destutt et de Grégoire cette initiative avorte" (Pluchon, 'Histoire de la colonisation', p. 880). Le rapport est suivi du projet de décret en 16 articles.

1993réf. 193629Gallimard Paris, Gallimard, 1993. In-8 broché de 265 pages illustrées de planches couleurs hors-texte. Collection Bibliothèque des Histoires; Dans cette étude concise mais d'une grande densité documentaire, Bernard Lewis s'attaque à un sujet longtemps occulté ou idéalisé : l'esclavage et les préjugés de couleur dans les sociétés islamiques. Bernard Lewis fut l'un des plus grands spécialistes occidentaux du Moyen-Orient, professeur à la School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) de Londres puis à l'Université de Princeton. Si ses analyses géopolitiques tardives ont suscité d'intenses débats intellectuels (notamment sa controverse célèbre avec Edward Said), ses travaux d'historien de l'Empire ottoman et de l'Islam médiéval, basés sur une maîtrise absolue des archives en turc, arabe et persan, demeurent d'une grande valeur académique.
