1895réf. 178171895. Reverend L.E Keith Feelix Feeler. Female Filosofy Fished Out and Fried. Cleona P.A.: G. Holzapfel Publishing 1895. First edition with original pictorial cloth boards and fifty illustrations of pro-suffrage political cartoons. An uncommon text. 336 pages. Keith's tone is often tongue-in-cheek but his purpose is to promote women's suffrage. As he argues in the preface: "Is it not the man that is unwomanly ans unmanly too in strutting about as if he were the lord of creation . Where is the consistency in allowing a woman to own property and take care of men's childrne and not giving her the power to protect either of them" While some countries extended minor voting rights to women in the year of this book's publication full suffrage would not be granted to American women until almost decades later. Boards toned and lightly soiled but the front cover remains attractive and the design is still bold. Spine sunned and bumped at head and tail spine titles faded; front hinge worn through for 3.5" inches. One-inch chip on spine shows shelfwear. Internal text block tight and the pages are clean and bright. Overall in good condition. As of March 2022 less than 15 copies held by libraries and institutions worldwide per OCLC Wolrdcat.

1843réf. 4025Berkeley: T.R. Marvin 1843. First edition. Very Good . Original publisher's cloth binding with gilt to front board. Minor loss of cloth to crown of spine. Faint residue of removed library label to spine and front board. Peach endpapers. Light scattered foxing as is typical of the period. Inscribed on the front endpaper by Ward's husband the compiler: "Reverend Mr. Ellingwood with the respects of J.W. Ward." Bookplate on the front pastedown reveals that the recipient Rev. Ellingwood went on to donate the volume to the Theological Seminary of Bangor Maine. A scarce and important example of a published American elegiac volume produced in this case by an eminent family to mourn the loss of an educated woman. Memoirs is unrecorded by OCLC and has never appeared at auction. In their marriage James Wilson Ward and Hetta Lord Hayes Ward united two prominent Northeastern families. A senator and Congregationalist minister James descended from the founders of Plymouth and had attended Andover and Amherst. Hetta the daughter of a judge and niece of a Dartmouth president was herself a graduate of Miss Grant's Seminary Academy. The present volume released "exclusively for private circulation among the friends of the deceased" is a testament to Hetta's value not as a daughter who married well or a wife who effectively managed a house but as a companion an intellectual and an individual. In this sense it deconstructs the period's expectations of separate spheres or hierarchy between sexes. With an opening letter by Susan Hayes Hetta's mother as well as a copy of the eulogy conducted by her husband the book reveals vast details about who Hetta was as a person. Both describe her as tender and affectionate; but time and again emphasis is placed on her mind. Though Hetta was skillful with a needle as a child according to her mother "her numberless questions interested and surprised me.She acquired a fondness for poetry.She became as much interested in the in the study of the exact sciences as in the works of imagination making herself acquainted with the higher branches of Mathematics Algebra Geometry etc." James similarly eulogizes his wife. What becomes clear is that he is grieving the loss of a companion and equal. "If we have found a friend of distinguished excellence and for years rejoiced with that friend in mutual interchange and warm affections it is natural when death intervenes and separates us from the dear object of our love to contemplate their virtues.First characteristic which I would notice which she possessed in an eminent degree is an ardent love of truth.She possessed great powers of abstraction.She saw with great clearness the point of an argument and was quick to distinguish between sophistry.She loved to trace the workings of the human mind." Not satisfied simply to have their own testaments to Hetta's extraordinary mind the compilers included to the last half of the book a collection of her own poetry and prose. A scarce work in a genre underappreciated in American literature and history. Such coterie publications of intimate mourning were uncommon for the time particularly for a woman.

Hannah L. daughter of Ezekiel Moore in the 16th of her age. On wensday sic preceding her death the writer of these lines was called upon to visit her and it proved to him both a profitable and pleasing visit". After this the letter is primarily focused on the More's condition and her acceptance of death "I found her in a state of uncommon resignation to the will of God patiently waiting the hour of her departure. I want the the sic will of the lord to be done whether I live or die". Heathcote writes that More asked him to preach at her funeral and for two hymns to be recited "Come humble sinner in whose breast a thousand thoughts resolve" and "When thou my righteous Jude shall come". Heathcote documents More's interactions with her family and friends before commending her on her devoutness to God. He writes finally that he is happy to have gotten to see her and finishes with "Let me die the death of the righteous that my latter end may be like his". Reverend Charles John Heathcote was born in Middlesex England in 1796 and followed in his father's footsteps by becoming a reverend. He wrote one book of sermons and hymns Last Sermons: Late Incumbent of St. Thomas and passed away at the age of 77 after practicing as a reverend in his home town for the duration of his life.

A highly presentable signed first edition of the work of Civil Rights icon Reverend Al Sharpton. ABOUT THIS BOOK: Bestselling author Reverend Al Sharpton brings to light the stories of the unsung heroes of the Civil Rights movement drawing on his unique perspective in the history of the fight for social justice in America "This is the time. We won't stop until we change the whole system of justice."-Rev. Al Sharpton While the world may know the major names of the Civil Rights movement there are countless lesser-known heroes fighting the good fight to advance equal justice for all heeding the call when no one else was listening often risking their lives and livelihoods in the process. Righteous Troublemakers shines a light on everyday people called to do extraordinary things-like Pauli Murray whose early work informed Thurgood Marshall's legal argument for Brown v. Board of Education Claudette Colvin who refused to give up her seat on a segregated bus months before Rosa Parks did the same and Gwen Carr whose private pain in losing her son Eric Garner stoked her public activism against police brutality. Sharpton also illuminates the lives of more widely known individuals revealing overlooked details historical connections and a perspective informed by years of working on the front line of the social justice movement to provide a behind-the-scenes look at the wheels of justice and the individuals who have helped advance its cause.Publisher.
