1823rif. 281351823. A three-page manuscript letter from Ephraim Smooth to Bloomfield McIlvaine exhorting him to follow the tenants of meditation and balance inherent in the Quaker tradition. A dance was held at the home of Obediah Sears and Ephraim Smooth writes at length about Quaker tradition of contemplation rejecting "ill-judged indulgence of riot & gaiety" refering to Bloomfield's education he graduated from the College of New Jersey later Princeton in 1812 and his power to influence the youths and finally offers a curative silent meditation with Simon Pure Obediah Broadbrim and himself to "cheerfully join in the dance of the spirit". Dated 5th day 7 month 1823 5 July 1823. Reference is made to the flute and fiddle made in Edenton North Carolina we assume; and addressed to "Bottany Bay" which we assume is the one on Edisto Island South Carolina. Bloomfield McIlvaine 22 Feb 1797- 18 Aug 1826 died at 30 in New Jersey. He married Henrietta Maria Banker in June 1824. His father was Joseph McIlvaine who died a couple hours after his son aged 58. Joseph was a US senator for New Jersey. Bloomfield was a lawyer - his extensive library takes four pages in his will just the books valued at $939.35. He is buried in Saint Mary's Episcopal Churchyard in Burlington New Jersey. unknown

1715rif. 21205London 1715. 4pp. Printed in two columns. Disbound. Small folio. Early folds and early stab holes in left margin. Some foxing. One of Two Known Copies A rare and expansive appeal to Parliament against the 1715 bill to renew the Quakers' right to the "solemn affirmation" in place of the legal oath. In 1696 after experiencing decades of exclusion and imprisonment for conscientiously refusing to take loyalty and court oaths Quakers were granted the right by an act of Parliament to take a "solemn affirmation" in legal situations in place of an actual oath. In 1715 a bill was under consideration in Parliament to renew that act indefinitely. Significantly longer than most lobbying documents from this time this petition asks that Parliament only extend the act if the affirmation be made "of no Force where they are concern'd in Interest but where they only Affirm as Witnesses between others there being no Temptation for them to Lye when it brings no Profit to them." Many Quakers by this time had achieved significant prosperity in manufacturing and commerce adding fuel to their enemies' resentment. The author of this pamphlet charges various Friends with hypocrisy greed and swindling and reprints an earlier petition describing six widows of commanders of two "Guinea ships" allegedly defrauded by Quakers including one Quaker from Maryland.

1715rif. 21197London 1715. Broadsheet. 1p. plus printed docket title on verso. Dbd. Early folds and early stab holes in left margin. Moderate toning and foxing. Very good. Quakers seek relief on affirmation. In 1696 after experiencing decades of exclusion and imprisonment for conscientiously refusing to take loyalty and court oaths Quakers were granted the right by Parliament to take a "solemn affirmation" in legal situations in place of an actual oath. Over the next two decades numerous Quakers objected to the invocation of God's name in the official affirmation and refused it as they had the oath. In 1715 a bill was under consideration in Parliament to renew indefinitely the Quakers' right to the affirmation. The Quaker authors of the present petition support the bill but ask that it be amended with a revised affirmation that does not include the name of God. ESTC lists copies at four institutions: the British Library the Library of the Religious Society of Friends the National Library of Scotland and Oxford.

1800rif. 11885New York: Printed by Isaac Collins 1800. Hardcover. Very good. First edition. viii 141 pages. Evans 37474. Printed on heavy paper with one or two leaves bound between each of the chapters. According to a note following the introduction "The book is printed with blank pages for the purpose of making future additions which are to be inserted in the manner and in the page in which they will be directed to be placed by the yearly meeting. No other additions are to be made.". The present copy is annotated and corrected in various ways presumably by someone who attended this annual meeting. On the first free endpaper there is a contemporary annotation: "Abraham Barker Lives in Ohio Huron Co. Town of Brunson." On the blank leaf following p. 50 there is the note: " To the monthly Meeting of . . . Dear friend We the subscriber A B son of . . . . do propose taking each other in marriage between us which we submit to your approbation then dated AB / CJ"; the inscription is somewhat illegible owing to some soiling; however it follows the chapter on "Marriages" and reproduces in part the "Form of Marriage Certificate" that appears on p. 49. In the next chapter "Removals and Certificates" at the top of the page the following annotation is added: "it shall be the duty of such monthly Meeting to accept the same unless there be some manifest objections." On p. 123 in the chapter "Queries" the following annotation appears at the bottom of the page: "B. Are the answers to the Queries introduced to the Quarterly and Yearly Meetings the substance of and founded on the answers from the prepositive Meetings." On the preceding page three lines of text have been x'ed out and an "a" has been inserted before the word "priest" in the second line from the bottom and the words "or magistrate" have been crossed through. And on p. 124 the last page of this chapter the entire ten lines of text have been crossed out. Similar crossings have been made to the chapter "Meetings of Ministers and Elders". It would appear that these annotations and corrections were made by one of those attending the Meeting in New York presumably perhaps Abraham Barker. The chapters in the book cover the following topics which however do not appear in the order given in the Table of Contents: Appeals Apprentices Books Burials Certificates Civil government Children Dealing with offenders Differences and Arbitrations Diversions Defamation and detraction Days and times Distilled spirits &c. Donations Elders Gaming Meetings for worship for discipline of ministers and elders for sufferings; Ministry Meeting-houses and ground Marriages Memorials Overseers Oaths Poor Plainness Priests wages or hireling ministry Queries Requests to be received into membership Removals Scandal publick Slavery Schools Sufferings Subscriptions Scriptures of the Old and New Testament Taverns Trade and commerce Women's meetings War Wills. In the short chapter on "Slavery" it is stated: "No friend is to import buy or sell negroes or other slaves; or hire any that are held in bondage; or wake any that are young or others by indenture or otherwise unless they are first set free. Any friend disregarding the advice above expressed after deliberate dealing with except satisfaction be given is to be disowned. . . ."
