1837rif. 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.

1822rif. 6312-volume set 1822 first editions John Campbell 1766-1840 was a Scottish missionary and traveler. He was passionate about Christian philanthropy which led to his founding of the Magdalene Society in 1793 and the Missionary Magazine Edinburgh in 1796. He travelled to preach in neglected villages promoting the establishment of Sunday schools. The Magdalen Asylum to help prostitutes in England and Glasgow founded by Campbell was one of several societies he created to help those in need. He opposed the slave trade and became involved in the Society for the Education of Africans. Through collaboration with James Alexander Haldane he brought 30-40 African children to England to be educated. In 1812 he was sent by the London Missionary Society to inspect mission stations at the Cape. His account of the trip was published in 1815 on his return titled "Travels in South Africa undertaken at the request of the Missionary Society". Campbell returned to the Cape in 1819 this time to improve those mission stations that had fallen into neglect. In 1820 he travelled north from Cape to Mosega in Barotseland and the Kaditshwene settlement near the Limpopo River. He left Cape for England in 1821 and published two further volumes covering his journey. Francis Westley hardcover

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.

1903rif. 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."

Matching full dark green morocco the spines lettered and decorated in gilt in compartments all sides decorated in gilt and blind; all edges gilt; covers a little bumped and lightly worn at the corners; leather a little scuffed and marked; scattered foxing and minor signs of handling more so in the first volume which is inexpertly reinserted in its binding with a rear endpaper that would be greatly improved by removing and replacing it and a front free endpaper that appears to be original but salvaged from the rear and amateurishly lined with tissue; overall a decent set which certainly presents well on the shelf. Provenance: John Michael Skipper 1815-1883 artist solicitor and South Australian pioneer with his ownership initials on the engraved title page of the first volume and his signature and most interesting inscription of the front free endpaper of the second volume: 'J M. Skipper from Mrs. Thomas March 14th. 1841' his mother-in-law. Skipper was born in Norwich the son of a solicitor; 'he was intended for the law but was more interested in art in which he was encouraged by his uncle. In 1833 he abandoned his studies to become a midshipman in the East India Co.'s "Sherbourne" bound for Calcutta. On his return deciding to migrate he arranged to be articled to Charles Mann the new South Australian advocate-general and sailed in the "Africaine" arriving at Holdfast Bay on 6 November 1836. He sketched scenes on the voyage and met Frances Amelia eldest daughter of Robert Thomas; he married her on 28 December 1839' 'Australian Dictionary of Biography'. Accordingly these volumes not only date from the foundation years of British settlement in the colony they also come from two of the first settlers. They are offered together with a copy of 'The Diary and Letters of Mary Thomas 1836-1866. Being a Record of the Early Days of South Australia. Edited by Evan Kyffin Thomas' Adelaide 1925 revised and enlarged third edition/ 1915. It is an account of the Thomas family's journey to South Australia on the 'Africaine' in 1836 and the fascinating early years of colonization as described in Mary's letters to her brother in England. Her husband Robert was the first newspaper publisher in South Australia and important details of the practical difficulties involved in the printing business are included. This is one of 300 unbound copies of the original 1925 edition discovered in the family attic in 1985; the entire cache has now been attractively bound in full reconstituted morocco. It comes in a slipcase with a fine copy of the first edition of a companion family volume 'Maisie. Her Life in her Letters from 1898 to 1902' edited by Joan Kyffin Willington Adelaide 1992.
