1859réf. 28994Columbus Ohio 1859. Caption title as issued. 16pp untrimmed. Margin-foxing Good. The occasion was a celebration of German Democrats "whose thrifty and pleasant homes are mostly in the Fifth Ward." In this scarce pamphlet Cox lauds the German opposition to tyranny their love of "Constitutional government and law;" and their distrust of anarchy and disorder particularly those annoying "Woman Rights Free Love and Abolition Conventions." Most recently such destructive "egotistical faith" has shown itself in the John Brown Invasion and in the doctrines of the Republican Party. "When Brown shoots down the citizens at the Armory he appeals to the God of the oppressed as his judge and all the Ismatics of New England and Ohio applaud the murderer as a martyr." And when Republicans deny the right of territories to decide whether to permit slavery "they deny to majorities the right to rule." OCLC 34559434 3- OH Hist. Soc. U TX Heinz Hist.

Barclay had a weakness for the ladies and was charged with having attempted to seduce several of them; as well as lying horse stealing baptizing a horse and "of inhumanely beating his 'negro wench' Chloe." Though exonerated he was nevertheless "admonished and his pastoral connection was dissolved." Kerr who was a member of Barclay's congregation appealed and though rebuffed continued to press his case so persistently "that he was barred from attending church." He wrote this book in order to vindicate his position. FIRST EDITION. Felcone 820. Cohen 11959. AI 31861 2. Sabin 37628. Printed for the Author, by R. and P. Canfield unknown books

WRITTEN ON THE BOTTOM EDGE OF THE VOLUME: "De astrolog: divinatrice. Erasti.Disputation. / De medicina Paracelsi.Pars I." VERY RARE. First edition. THOMAS ERASTUS' DISTPUTATIONS CONCERNING ASTROLOGY AND THE NEW MEDICINE OF PARACELSUS. First Editions. bound with: DISPUTATIONUM DE MEDICINA NOVA PHILIPPI PARACELSI PARS PRIMA: IN QUA QUAE DE REMEDIIS SUPERSTITIOSIS & MAGICIS CURATIONIBUS ILLE PRODIDIT PRAECIPUE EXAMINANTUR. . . This is one of two books written by Erastus concerning divining astrology especially directed to certain persons named in the letter of Erastus in this case the primary being Christopher Stathmion whose last letter is dated from 1559. A second part was issued for the DE MEDICINA not present here. Thomas Erastus 1524-1583 Swiss Protestant theologian a physician whose original name was Luber Lieber or Liebler. As a follower of Huldreich Zwingli he supported the Swiss leader's view of the Lord's Supper at the conferences of Heidelberg 1560 and Maulbronn 1564 and in a book 1565. In spite of his vigorous opposition to the Calvinist doctrine Presbyterian Church discipline and government were introduced in Heidelberg in 1570. In 1574 Erastus was excommunicated by the Heidelberg consistory but a year later the edict was removed. . .The term Erastianism has come to represent approval of the dominance of civil authority in all punitive measures and by extension complete dominance of the state over the church though Erastus himself never held such an extreme view. Erastianism achieved its definitive expression in the Leviathan of Thomas Hobbes. / ". . .On his return from Italy to Germany Erastus was shocked at the extent to which men were addicted to vain predictions of astrologers and at the astrological restrictions under which medical practice labored. . .as an antidote to the superstition poisoning Germany he had made a translation from the Italian into German of the book of Savonarola against astrologers. This aroused some opposition among German astrologers and the aforesaid physician of Coburg Chrsitopher Stathmion had contended that Savonarola's work did not apply to divination or astrology which was based on natural causes. . .He adopts the usual theological position that divination is the work of demons. He joins Pico and Savonarola in their wholesale onslaught upon astrology to which he would appear to leave almost no field of activity. . .In the first volume of his Disputations Concerning the New Medicine of Paracelsus . . . Erastus has more to say against astrology. It holds first place in magic of which he utterly disapproves and is the offscouring of all impious arts. . .Erastus denied the possibility of natural magic. Nor would he admit that the Magi of ancient Persia had been priests or sages. Their magic too he regarded as diabolical. He showed himself even more incensed at Pomponnazzi for his favorable attitude toward magic in De incantationibus than at Paracelsus. . . Astrology he condemned as the foundation of all other magic arts. He censured Paracelsus for speaking approvingly of augury prodigies geomancy pyromancy and necromancy and for condoning the receiving from demons' remedies to be employed for good ends." Thorndike V5 pp. 652-660 FURTHER: Regarding the second tract the Disputations "concerning and against the new Paracelsan medicine composed by Erastus illustrate on the one hand his opposition to the medical views of Paracelsus and his followers and on the other hand his opposition to various occult arts and sciences most of which he accuses Paracelsus of countenancing." "Erastus commends Paracelsus for one thing namely his careful preparation of medicines and revival of distillation." p. 657.

Nazareth Hall 17521929 was the Moravian school in Nazareth Pennsylvania. It was established by master mason Melchior Rasp in 1754. In 1759 it became the central boarding school for sons of Moravian parents. Later it attained wide fame as a "classical academy." This eventually led to the founding in 1807 of Moravian College and Theological Seminary at Bethlehem PA. The original school was divided into "rooms"; each contained only fifteen or eighteen pupils; these pupils were under the constant supervision of a master; and this master who was generally a theological scholar was the companion and spiritual adviser of his charges. Jacob Cist graduated at the school and worked with the post office department Washington D. C. 1800-08 when he removed to Wilkes Barre PA. There he was appointed postmaster and retained the position until his death 1825. He devoted much of his time to painting and literature contributing for years to The Literary Magazine The Portfolio and to the local papers of Pennsylvania. He invented and patented a mill to grind colors for paints and in 1808 secured a patent for manufacturing a mineral black for printer's ink from Lehigh anthracite coal as a substitute for India ink. For many years he was interested in the mining and the uses of anthracite coal. In 1815 published a pamphlet on the subject. Ludwig Schweinir has evaded the historical record. unknown books

réf. 4243Boston: John P. Jewett and Company 1859. 8vo printed gray wrappers. viii 280 pp. CONDITION: Good moderate stain to the front-cover minor losses to head and foot of spine. First edition. An exhaustive account of the actions and legal proceedings surrounding the Oberlin-Wellington Rescue Case of 1858 an important event in abolitionist history. On 13 September 1858 a federal marshal in Oberlin Ohio detained the runaway slave John Price from Kentucky in accordance with the Fugitive Slave Law of 1850. Seeking to skirt conflict with Oberlin locals-many of whom were abolitionists-the officer transported Price to Wellington Ohio. Oberlin residents learned of the officer's actions and met the men in Wellington in an effort to free Price. After first attempting to liberate him peacefully with the assistance of fellow abolitionists from Wellington the party ultimately seized him by force-first returning him to Oberlin and then escorting him to Canada. Tragically however Price died shortly after his arrival. In the wake of the rescue thirty-seven of those involved in rescuing Price were indicted by a federal grand jury-although only two were actually tried in federal court. Ohio authorities for their part arrested the federal marshal and those who assisted him in apprehending Price. The conviction of the two rescuers occasioned fervent protests among Ohio abolitionists and the divisive effect of the case had a significant impact on Ohio politics in the years immediately following. Boston publisher John P. Jewett 1814-1884 was the original publisher of Uncle Tom's Cabin 1852 as well as various anti-slavery publications such as Kazlitt Arvin's Our Duty to the Fugitive Slave 1850 Henry Chase's The North and the South : A Statistical View of the Condition of the Free and Slave States 1856 and A North-side View of Slavery: The Refugee 1856.
