1843 ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT PAIR 2 OF FOLDED STAMPLESS AUTOGRAPH LETTERS HANDWRITTEN BY A MISSIONARY TO HIS FRIEND IN WATERLOO NEW YORK WHILE HE TRAVELS TO BE ONE OF THE FIRST MEN IN INDIA PREACHING CHRISTIAN GOSPEL

1843réf. 0001770Baltimore Maryland MD - at Sea Aboard the Charles 1843. On offer are two 2 super original manuscript relics of Christian outreach and missionary work handwritten by Reverend Walter Gunn one of the first missionaries to India addressed to Frederick Schott of Waterloo New York. Bio notes follow. The first is a one 1 page letter written by Gunn dated 1843 while in Baltimore. The second letter is written by Rev. Gunn while on the boat "The Charles" heading to India in 1844. He has been at sea for 138 days. This is a 3¼ page letter. Here are snippets: 1 "Baltimore May 24 1843 Dear Brother in the Lord I should like to write a long letter to you and enter into many particulars but I have but only a few moments to spare as Bro Selmser is soon to leave B. and I have a press of business on hand. Well how do you do. How is your family and how do your souls prosper. Is Christ precious are you actively engaged in his service. O my brother watch your heart your words and your actions and strive to live so that the flame of love may burn brightly in your heart to God. How pleasant it would be for me to enjoy the hospitalities of your table again to bow with you again around the family altar to walk to the house of God in company but instead of walking the street of Waterloo I shall soon be walking the deck of the vessel that bears me to the heathen land. But shall I ever forget you and the beloved brethren of W. No. Even now while going from house to house among the brethren in imagination the tears fall upon the paper and bedew these lines I write.Your brother in Christ Walter Gunn." 2 "Ship Charles Indian Ocean March 25th 1844 Dear Brother Shutt While penning these lines I am sailing up the Indian Ocean towards the shores of Hindustan. I have crossed the equator twice doubled the Cape of Good Hope and shall in a few weeks I trust reach my field of labor. But though I am separated from you by a distance of so many thousand miles I have not forgotten you no in imagination I often walk the streets of Waterloo visit the houses of the brethren and join in your acts of worship in the congregation. The different articles of apparel that I wear at this moment remind me of you and many others in W. While contemplating the interesting scenes that transpire in your place one year ago my eyes often fill with tears. Were not those precious and heavenly seasons when you and so many of your associates and friends took a stand on the Lord's side. Though I am now denied the privilege of witnessing such glorious displays of the power and grace of God in the conviction and conversion of sinners I do not on that account conclude that I am out of the path of duty. True it would be a pleasing task for the minister of Christ to be engaged daily in the work of directing the inquiring to the Savior and strengthening those who had just commenced running the Christian course. But that privilege at present is denied me. From no one for the last few months have I heard the inquiry "What must I do to be saved." Except the missionaries who are going with me to the heathen. I am surrounded by those who seem to think but little of their undying souls.You will undoubtedly wish to know how I feel now that I am so far away from kindred friends and natives land with but little prospect of ever seeing them again. To answer for the most part I feel cheerful contented and happy. Often have I seen the ocean all lashed into commotion the vessel at one moment raised upon the top of a mighty billow and the next plunged into the fearful chasm below; at such a moment it seemed as though we must all be engulfed beneath the troubled ocean but even then my mind has been calm and unruffled.Tell your sister Mrs. Bean that the pantaloons she made me became very spotted by the damp weather around the Cape of Good Hope but that the spots did not make them any the less comfortable. Tell Jackson that I hope and pray that he may become a minister. Tell Mrs. Mayer that my wife often speaks of her and the pleasant time that they spent together in Johnstown and Whitesboro. Tomorrow or next day we expect that our vessel will anchor in the harbor of Amherst in Burmah. One hundred and thirty eight days I have been tossed upon the billows of the ocean without setting my feet on land and many more anxious days will pass before I reach Guntur the field of my labor. Pray for me and my companion that we may be preserved from the temptations to which we are exposed and that we may be the faithful servants of Christ among the heathen. Yours in the bonds of Christian love Walter Gunn. Near the shores of Burmah April 3rd 1844." BIO NOTES: "The Rev. W. Gunn. The Missionary was a graduate of Union College N.Y. in 1841; studied theology at Gettysburg; was ordained by the Hartwick Synod in 1843 at Johnstown; appointed missionary to India in the same year; arrived at Guntur on June 18th 1844 and was a faithful and an indefatigable colleague of the Rev. Mr. Heyer until 1851 when after a period of seven years service in the cause of Jesus he departed this life at Guntur esteemed and loved by all who knew him. He is spoken of as a good man full of zeal for the Lord so much so that on one occasion in the Guntur bazaar he became so indignant at some idolatrous performances of the heathen that he lifted up his voice in great earnest against the idolaters who became exasperated at him and consequently proceeded to pelt him with stones. But he prudently withdrew from the enraged rabble only to return on subsequent occasions to continue publishing the message of salvation to them. His remains rest in the Guntur Cemetery until the day of the resurrection. He died while in Guntur in 1851 from Tuberculosis." "Reverend Adam Long went to India almost immediately after being ordained. The Lutheran mission to India was still in its early phases when Long arrived it have been started in the Andhra region by Rev. John Christian Frederick Heyer in 1842 who at 48 and widowed was an anomaly compared to other missionaries. He was joined by the Rev. and Mrs. Water Gunn another Gettysburg College and Seminary graduate in 1844 and by Rev. George Martz in 1849. There these men and Gunn's wife Lorena began the task of educating and converting Indians. In a country that is dominated by the polytheistic Hinduism and Mohammedanism this was not an easy task. Traveling from village to village these men and women counted their accomplishments by the individuals that they could convert and the schools and churches that they built. .

An Historical Geographical and Philosophical View of the Chinese Empire

1796réf. 007817Philadelphia : Re-printed for Richard Lee by Dunning Hyer and Palmer - Printers 1796. First American Edition. Hardcover. This complete two-volume first U.S. edition of 1796 is bound in contemporary marble calf. The bindings feature gilt ruled spines with rectangular gilt-printed burgundy spine labels and circular gilt-printed black spine labels. Condition is good plus. The period bindings remain fully intact the boards still firmly connected. As might be expected the bindings show age and wear the boards and spines variously scuffed the corners worn through. The text blocks have a slight swell the boards a slight outward warp. The contents of both volumes are notably clean the endpapers browned the contents less so. Spotting is minimal appearing substantially confined to the endpapers and page edges. The same single clearly vintage owner name is inked to the upper right corner of each title page. This U.S. edition RE-PRINTED FOR RICHARD LEE in Philadelphia in 1796 by DUNNING HYER AND PALMER PRINTERS followed the British edition of 1795 J. Ridgeway London. This work was the product of the incarceration of the author - Reverend William Winterbotham 1763-1829. Winterbothams prosecution was a celebrated instance of overreaction by the authorities through nervousness in the wake of the French Revolution. The sixth of fifteen children Winterbotham left school after an argument with the schoolmaster and thereafter apprenticed to a silversmith. He eventually started in business for himself as a silver buckle-maker but illness forced a temporary return to his parents. His early dissolute life changed when he underwent conversion. In 1787 he began to preach and in 1789 became a Baptist. In this newly found zealous life he ran afoul of the politics of the day. In a sermon on 5 November 1792 on the double anniversary of the 1605 Gunpowder Plot and the revolution of 1688 Winterbotham made reference to the French Revolution and to contemporary abuses as he saw it of the contract between king and people. This aroused local feeling and a prosecution was talked of. In an attempt to put matters right he preached a sermon on 18 November but on 25 and 26 July 1793 he was tried at the Exeter assizes for both sermons and found guilty. The result was a significant fine and imprisonment most of which he spent at Newgate prison. It was in Newgate that Winterbotham wrote An Historical Geographical and Philosophical View of the Chinese Empire as well as An Historical Geographical Commercial and Philosophical View of the American United States. Upon release from Newgate in November 1797 Winterbotham returned to preaching. He was publicly ordained in 1801. He was frequently invited to preach around the country and in 1812 was one of the signatories to the formation of the Baptist Union.

1837 - Letter regarding the separation of previously established Episcopal churches and missions from the Diocese of Michigan after Wisconsin became its own territory in 1836

1837réf. 010705Menomoneville Wiconsin Territory 1837. Envelope or Cover. Very good. This two-page stampless letter sent from the Reverend Daniel E. Brown at Menomoneville to the Reverend Philander Chase "near Peoria / Illinoise" measures 16" x 9.75" unfolded. It is datelined "Mission Buildings Green Bay / April 3rd 1837" and bears an especially scarce manuscript postmark "Menomoneville Apr 5" of which only one other example is recorded by the Wisconsin Postal History Society. In nice shape In this letter Brown requests clarification as to whether the few churches that had been established in Wisconsin would remain part of the newly formed Diocese of Michigan or form into a separated organization. It reads in part "I have presumed to address you upon a subject of much interest to the religious community of Wisconsin which . . . is of serious importance to the Church. It is presumed that the question whether Wisconsin is yet a part of the Diocese of Michigan as claimed by the worthy Prelate of that Diocese . . . or are we separated & no longer for and integral part thereof. . . This question is now assuming a very serious aspect for the Vestry of Christ's Church Green Bay. . . There are now four resident Clergymen in this Territory . . . three in the employ of the Board of Domestic Missions. We have but one organized Church who has no Rector the Rev R. F. Cadle having resigned. . . It is also anticipated that . . . a church will be organized at Milwaukee & also that the Garrison at Fort Winnebago will organize themselves into a Parish. I have felt . . . as if it was unwise to agitate the question in our present situation & particularly as it regards questions of jurisdictions with Michigan but I would wish your advice. For if we are fully separated from Michigan & have the right to form a new Diocese . . . it would be prudent to do so. . . Will you be kind enough my Dear Father to give me your views upon the claim set forth by the Rt Rev Prelate of Michigan & whether . . . it is right now expedient to organize at this time. . ." . When Wisconsin was part of the Michigan Territory from 1818 until 1836 Episcopalian fell under the purview of Missionary Bishop of the Northwest. Its first mission the Oneida Duck Creek Mission originally under the Diocese of New York at Green Bay was the beginning of Church work in the MIdwest. After the Diocese of Michigan was formed in 1834 Wisconsin activities were place under the temporary supervision of the Bishop of Ohio and did not come under the oversight of the Bishop of Michigan until 1836 after which he maintained that the establishment of the Wisconsin Territory had should not divide his diocese successfully thwarting the establishment of a Diocese of Wisconsin until 1847. For more information see Ford's A Brief History of the Diocese of Michigan and "Oneida History" at the Milwaukee Public Museum website. A first-hand document attesting to the religious competition that sprang into being with the establishment of the Wisconsin Territory. At the time of listing nothing similar is for sale in the trade nor has appeared at auction per the Rare Book Hub. OCLC shows no similar items held in institutional collections. We have another lot for sale regarding the Oneida Duck Creek Mission. . unknown

Primeira edição rara e muito importante para a parenética Vieiriana que se dá como o 16.º volume da sua coleção de sermões. A Biblioteca Nacional apenas tem um exemplar incompleto e sermões soltos. Obra constituída por 12 Sermões cada um com folha de rosto própria sendo que algumas destas folhas nomeadamente as dos sermões 4 6 e 7 não são incluídas na paginação. Os três primeiros são datados de 1753 e os restantes de 1754. Nos rostos dos Sermões de 1753 o editor literário assina é identificado só pelas inicias do seu nome D. T. A. não vindo mencionado nos rostos dos de 1754.

Os sermões de Vieira publicaram-se ainda em sua vida muitos deles soltos até que principiou a formar-se a conhecida coleção em 1679 data em que saiu o seu primeiro volume. Até 1696 publicaram-se onze volumes. Depois seguiram póstumos entre 1699 e 1748 outros quatro perfazendo um total de quinze. Ainda em 1754 apareceu um volume com doze sermões de Vieira pregados todos em louvor de Santo António e que se dá como tomo décimo sexto da coleção embora já tivessem sido impressos nos quinze volumes anteriores. Estes sermões foram muitas vezes reimpressos mas sem se lhes dar o carácter de edição nova reimprimindo-se sem se alterar a data dos volumes que iam escasseando já muito no mercado. PADRE ANTÓNIO VIEIRA Lisboa 1608 - Salvador Brasil 1697 considerado por muitos como o maior escritor português é autor de uma vasta obra em português latim e italiano sendo definido lapidarmente por Fernando Pessoa como o «Imperador da língua portuguesa». Ao mesmo tempo desenvolveu com brilhantismo visão e coragem atividades políticas e diplomáticas na defesa de Portugal durante a Guerra da Restauração tendo entrado em conflito aberto com a Inquisição que venceu com o apoio do Papa. Mais importante ainda foi a sua prolongada e dedicada atividade missionária em que se distinguiu pela defesa da liberdade dos índios e pela condenação da escravatura dentro dos moldes possíveis na sua época pelo que chegou a ser expulso pelos colonos que tratavam mal os escravos oriundos de Ãfrica e queriam escravizar os índios apesar das leis régias em contrário que obteve de D. João IV e de D. Pedro II. Vieira conseguiu conciliar um grande realismo político com uma crença arraigada no Sebastianismo começando por identificar D. João IV como o «Desejado» do mito Sebastianista que havia de ressuscitar. Apesar de Vieira dar grande valor e se ter dedicado prolongadamente às suas obras teológicas e proféticas foram os sermões que o consagraram como grande orador e escritor. A sua forte personalidade e capacidade oratória atraíam multidões para ouvi-lo pregar mas foi a possibilidade de rever e acompanhar a publicação dos sermões que os tornou obras literárias de grande valor e não apenas o frio registo das suas capacidades oratórias. Em 1614 Vieira foi para a Baía com a família e ingressou no Colégio da Companhia de Jesus onde segundo uma lenda superou inesperadas dificuldades de aprendizagem destacando-se pelas suas habilidades intelectuais e linguísticas o que lhe valeu em 1625 aos 17 anos a tarefa de redigir o relatório anual evento conhecido como o «Estalo de Vieira». Em 1623 iniciou o noviciado familiarizando-se com a cultura e a língua tupi e em 1625 fez os primeiros votos começando a ensinar retórica em Olinda. Ordenado sacerdote em 1634 tornou-se conhecido como orador realizando a sua primeira pregação oficial na Baía. Em 1641 acompanhou a Lisboa o filho do Vice-rei do Brasil iniciando uma fase como conselheiro político de D. João IV e missões diplomáticas na Europa. Em Roma reviu os seus sermões publicando o primeiro volume em 1679 e recebeu isenção da Inquisição. Regressou ao Brasil em 1681 onde se dedicou até à sua morte à revisão dos sermões e à redação da sua obra teológica «Clavis Prophetarum». DIONÃSIO TEIXEIRA DE AGUIAR c. 1720 - foi familiar do Santo Ofício e mostra uma grande admiração pelo padre António Vieira e pela Companhia de Jesus. Casou com Feliciana Teresa Francisca em Oeiras em 5 de Agosto de 1746. Nada mais se conhece da sua vida e o seu nome não é referido por Barbosa Machado. É autor do prólogo e da dedicatória de outra obra de Vieira: Cinco discursos morais fundados nas cinco pedras de David Lisboa 1754 e de duas pequenas obras sobre o Milagre de Ourique publicadas em 1753 e 1757. ANTÓNIO MARTINS fl. 1690 - 175 Ainda não foi possível obter dados biográficos sobre o dedicatário deste livro e que subsidiou as despesas da impressão identificado na folha de rosto como: homem de negócios nesta Corte. Na dedicatória Dionísio Teixeira de Aguiar destaca as suas virtudes morais e religiosas a caridade para com os mais pobres a devoção às imagens sagradas e em especial a Santo António e os gastos em Missas e outros sufrágios pelas almas do Purgatório o que lhe aumentou os bens e restituiu a saúde segundo afirma na dedicatória.

History of my Life and Work: Autobiography RARE TRUE 1ST

1903réf. 250806003Raleigh North Carolina: Self-published Reverend Morgan Landon Latta 1903. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. Rare true first edition of the controversial autobiography of Reverend Morgon London Latta. IMPORTANCE Born into slavery from a background of poverty from which he successfully emerged Latta is a polarizing historical figure. In some circles Latta is recognized in as an important leader in Black education during post-Reconstruction. For others he is a fraudulent schemer whose autobiography was found to be filled with falsehoods and exaggerations of the truth that were used to exploit Northerners into donating to fund his university Latta University donations largely misappropriated for personal use - a scandal which ultimately shut down Latta university and tarnished his image. Condition- VG - ex-library. Note: I rarely sell ex-library but a true first edition of this infamous and fascinating "autobiography" rarely comes up for sale. All other copies I currently see listed as of this posting as first editions are actually the 1923-24 reprint. This copy would be a $3-5k book if not ex-library. ABOUT THE BOOK Self-published in 1903 by the author in Raleigh North Carolina. True first edition first printing as indicated by green cloth with brown black and gilt pictorial decorated top cover with the central image of a rural cabin scene and the correct 371 total pages the reprint of 1923-1924 with the 1903 copyright was significantly expanded to 600 pages. Octavo 8 3/8" x 6" 371 pp. Black and white photo illustrations. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Rev. Morgan London Latta L.L.D. 1853 -1937 was an African American educator who operated a fraudulent scheme to solicit and misappropriate funds. He founded Latta University in Raleigh North Carolina and used it to exploit the goodwill of Northern donors during the post-Reconstruction era. Despite the exposure for his criminal misconduct which brought an end to his school and standing Latta's legacy continues to be commemorated in Raleigh as a pioneer in Black education. Latta founded Latta University in Oberlin Village an antebellum enclave established by free Blacks in West Raleigh. Latta University received its official incorporation on February 15 1894 following the acquisition of land in Oberlin Village and fundraising efforts to finance its construction a process spanning three years. Latta traveled across the North making speeches and fundraising for the university. Despite numerous primary accounts and documents revealing his autobiography to be false it played a crucial role in his fundraising efforts and decades later in establishing his legacy. In 2019 Morgan Latta was inducted into the Raleigh Hall of Fame stating "Reverend Latta's history and legacy continues to inspire children from all backgrounds through programming by the City of Raleigh and the Latta House Foundation." CONDITION REPORT VERY GOOD - ex-library. Library numbering stamp on spine stamp on bottom of introduction page and rear pastedown with the library card and pocket for Hartford Public Library in Connecticut. The book was donated to the library by Henry J. Belden. His name appears on the gift bookplate of the library and his name is signed in pencil on the introduction page. Front board a bit loose. Sun-faded spine. Rubbed extremities. Corners bumped several large stains on back board and top text block edge. Mildly rubbed top cover. Lightly toned pages. Darkening and cracked gutter between two pictures preceding title page. Some creasing a few bent page corners. Text block is clean and bright. Only a few light finger smudges along the margins. All in all a very scarce example of the true first edition an important and controversial historical book. Self-published, Reverend Morgan Landon Latta hardcover
