Henry Ward Beecher seated beside a small table with printed caption below image reading "Rev'd Henry Ward Beecher." Verso imprint: "Published by E. Anthony 501 Broadway New York from photographic negative from Brady's National Portrait Gallery. Light wear and toning; very good. A Civil War-era carte de visite portrait of Henry Ward Beecher the Brooklyn minister abolitionist and one of the most famous American clergymen of the nineteenth century. Beecher was pastor of Plymouth Church in Brooklyn and a prominent antislavery speaker before and during the Civil War. His public reputation made him a natural subject for Brady and Anthony's commercial portrait trade which circulated images of political military literary and religious figures in CDV format. Beecher's wartime significance was tied especially to abolition and Union propaganda. He helped raise money for antislavery causes supported the Union war effort and in 1863 traveled to Britain to speak in favor of the Union cause at a moment when British public opinion and elite sympathy remained contested.

Provenance: Fernand Gaulthier armorial bookplate. A rare Lyonese edition of a popular pocket guidebook for priests. A succinct survey of every aspect of the priesthood the text opens with the meaning of sacerdos priest a definition of the job: the care and salvation of human souls and the requirements for fulfilling this office: basic literacy and the ability to express oneself correctly. From abstract concepts to practical applications the fundamental tenets of the Christian Church are methodically reviewed: the articles of faith seven deadly sins cardinal and theological virtues three keys of the church three parts of penitence etc. as are the different kinds of sacraments the materials used for them and their meanings and the various clerical offices. The telegraphically short entries with abundant use in this small format edition of abbreviations permitted the inclusion of a vast amount of indispensable knowledge for the practicing priest. The last third of the text is devoted to an equally condensed introduction to the Computus with headline Abbreviatio compoti the all-important calculation of time based on the yearly date of Easter; it includes mnemonic verses and syllables. “The Cura clericalis reflecting the received wisdom on the subject defined four rules for the priest. He was to be a celebrant of Masses and so needed to understand the basic texts and to be able to pronounce the Latin grammatically and clearly. He must be a minister of the other sacraments and so needed to know what and how many they were to grasp the essential matter of the sacrament and be able to distinguish it from the peripheral features and to know the proper mode of administration. He was to be a confessor and so must above all be able to distinguish venial from deadly sin . Finally he was to be a ‘plebis doctor’ the teacher of his people able to instruct them in the articles of faith and the other precepts of God” E.

1883Best.-Nr. 12658Newark: Starbuck & Dunham Book and Job Printers 1883. 24pp. Octavo. Original printed wrappers. Moderate wear and soiling some tape residue along spine of upper wrapper spine chipped. Ex-General Theological Library with small ink stamp in upper margin on verso of title page. Overall still very good. Following swiftly on the heels of the Suwanee Convention of Southern Bishops in late July 1883 a large gathering of clergy and laymen met in New York City to organize the work of the Afro-American clergy of the Protestant Episcopal Church. It was a historic moment and "of the forty-two Colored Clergy of the United States only four had responded to the call in the negative and three others had failed to respond." A Committee was formed chaired by Alexander Crummell to draft a statement to the Church in America. Here the Committee calls attention "to the moral disasters which have come to our race through slavery – how family life parental authority and marriage integrity have been broken down by servitude" and issues a call for "an extraordinary effort for the erection of Churches throughout the South" especially in the large urban centers. In addition to the proceedings the work includes a "Sermon on Church Work by the Colored People" by Rev. Thomas A. Starkey the Bishop of Northern New Jersey a brief Finance Committee Report and concludes with the "Regulations of the Women's Auxiliary of the Convocation of the Colored Clergy." The latter is comprised of five articles and an addendum plus a listing of twenty women belonging to the New York and Newark branches of the organization. A scarce work with just over a dozen institutional copies. Not in Blockson. Library Company Afro-Americana 8507A. Starbuck & Dunham, Book and Job Printers unknown books
