Octavo modern half brown sheep burgundy morocco spine label. $3600.First edition of this important work on the legal aspects of slavery in the United States one of the earliest digests on the subject.Wheeler's Practical Treatise is one of the earliest digests of virtually all American court decisions on slavery including cases from both the North and South. This book was initially intended for use by slaveholders and other interested parties but it became an important tool of abolitionists who used it for its incidental descriptions of slavery and its attendant cruelty. ""The work bears marks of haste in its preparation but it is a valuable compilation of decisions on practical questions arising under the Law of Slavery in the United States. It will be serviceable to the Profession as a comprehensive digest of authorities on this branch of law and it will afford much instruction to philanthropists and statesmen interested in reconciling the welfare of slaves with the integrity and just operation of Constitutional Law"" Marvin 729.

Revolutionary-era sermon dedicated to George Washington in which Duché urges the people of Philadelphia to stand fast despite the unnaturalness of being in conflict with their fellow British subjects. "We venerate the Parent Land from whence our progenitors came.But if we are to judge from the late ungenerous and ill-digested plans of policy which have been adopted by those whom she hath entrusted with the powers of Administration we cannot but think that they began to be jealous of our rising glory and from an ill-grounded apprehension of our aiming at independency were desirous of checking our growth." Jacob Duché 1737-98 was born in Philadelphia and educated there before studying at Cambridge University. He returned to Philadelphia and eventually became rector of Christ Church. His early zeal for the revolutionary cause was such that he was appointed chaplain to the Continental Congress. After the Declaration of Independence and the capture of Philadelphia by General Howe Duché had a change of heart and wrote George Washington asking him to urge Congress to recall the Declaration and negotiate a peace. He was branded a traitor by his former followers and went into exile in Great Britain before returning to his beloved Philadelphia in 1792 to live out his final years. This sermon first published in Philadelphia in 1775 the same year as this first British edition.

1963réf. 82862New York: Terry Dintenfass 1963. First Edition. Original lithographed poster with text and illustrations printed in dark red and black on thick cream laid paper measuring 48cm x 66.25cm 18 7/8" x 26 1/8". Mild handling a few faint creases from being rolled with a half-dozen foxed spots; unbacked; Near Fine. A striking poster by Lawrence designed to promote his first solo exhibition at Terry Dintenfass Inc. in New York. The illustration was derived from Lawrence's 1963 tempera painting "Two Rebels" "showing four white policemen carrying two black men. The heads of some fifteen witnesses crowd in. In the poster that number was reduced to ten heads that float like moons of light above a protester and his police handlers with their billy clubs dangling from their wrists" Over the Line: The Art and Life of Jacob Lawrence pp.174-175. Paintings like "Two Rebels" "Soldiers and Students" and "Four Students" were almost certainly triggered by news photos and television images of the immediate events of 1960-62 in the South. The poster is not separately listed in OCLC though a signed and numbered lithograph of the image edition of 50 is held at the LC. 82862. Terry Dintenfass unknown books
