In nur 200 Exemplaren hergestellte Prachtausgabe der englischen Verssatire, die als "schärfste und derbste Verspottung des Puritanismus jener Zeit" (KLL) gelten kann. Mit seinen Illustrationen zu Butlers Knittelversen machte sich William Hogarth erstmals einen Namen als Kupferstecher. "Hogarth hat zu diesem Gedicht zwei verschiedene Folgen von Illustrationen gestochen: 12 große, sorgfältiger ausgearbeitete Kupferstiche, die er selbständig, unabhängig von einem Verleger geschaffen und im Februar 1726 herausgegeben hat, und 17 kleinere, die mehr Holzschnittcharakter haben und vermutlich früher entstanden, aber erst im darauffolgenden April in einer Gedichtausgabe erschienen sind. Diese folgen dem Verlauf der Handlung, während die großen Blätter nur die entscheidenden Szenen mit einem gekürzten Textauszug als Legende wiedergeben...Epos und Bilder sind eine antiheroische Satire auf Puritanertum und Sektenwesen" (Margrit Bachofen-Moser in Hogarth-Katalog Zürich, 1983, SS. 25 ff.). - Splendid edition of the English verse satire, produced in only 200 copies, which can be considered the "sharpest and crudest mockery of Puritanism of that time" (KLL). Hogarth first made a name for himself as an engraver with his illustrations of Samuel Butler's doggerel verse. "Hogarth engraved two different sets of illustrations to this poem: 12 large, more carefully executed engravings, which he created independently, unaided by a publisher, and published in February 1726, and 17 smaller ones, more woodcut in character, which were probably made earlier but did not appear in an edition of the poem until the following April. These follow the course of the plot, while the larger sheets reproduce only the decisive scenes with an abbreviated text excerpt as legend...Epic and pictures are an anti-heroic satire on Puritanism and sectarianism" (Margrit Bachofen-Moser). "200 copies printed, some with the plates in red, others in black. An elegant edition edited by Dr. Nash, the historian of Worcestershire, who has added a variety of entertaining notes" (Lowndes, The The Bibliographer's Manual of English Literature, S. 313).

[African Americana]: New England Freedmen's Aid SocietyBiblio.com

Second Annual Report of the New England Freedmen's Aid Society Educational Commission. Presented to the Society April 24 1864

1864rif. 12679Boston: Published at the Office of the Society 1864. 86pp. Original printed wrappers bound into modern quarter morocco over marbled boards gilt spine titles. Light chipping and soiling to wrappers. Contemporary notation to header of title else internally clean. Very good plus. An account of the second year of the activities of the New England Freedmen's Aid Society NEFAS an activist group formed to assist emancipated Black Americans in may aspects of life especially with gaining academic and practical educations following the Civil War. The present work is especially important for the long section titled "Condition of the Freedmen" which occupies pages 11 to 51 about half of the total work. This section details the population state of education labor and industry opportunities general condition and more of free African Americans in several regions of the country namely the Military Department of the South Key West and the Tortugas Military Department of Virginia and North Carolina the District of Columbia the Mississippi Valley Middle Tennessee Western Arkansas and Louisiana. Interestingly a substantial subsection of the section on the Department of the South is devoted to a discussion of arable lands available to freed slaves around Beaufort and Port Royal known to modern audiences as "Forty Acres and a Mule." Regarding the land in this area the report states that "It was a matter of course that the lands should all be taken for those blacks who did not wish to turn cultivators were perfectly aware that they could sell their 40 acres for many times the government price." The organization was also notable for its mission specifically aimed at education and for the critical role women played in its work. "The New England Freedmen's Aid Society was founded in Boston in 1862 in response to an appeal.on behalf of 8000 formerly enslaved people at Port Royal SC. Originally named the Educational Commission its mission was to provide teachers and other aid for 'the industrial social intellectual moral and religious' advantage of freedmen" Massachusetts Historical Society. As was the case with many abolition and aid groups women were in the vanguard of the NEFAS. They recruited trained and even served as educators in the program. For much of the twentieth century if historians wrote about the first teachers among freed people at all they characterized them as foolish even dangerous women.who bore a heavy responsibility for the racial tension after the Civil War and whose work caused Southern educators to avoid Black education" The Freedmen's Teacher Project. Yet scholars in the 1960s and after -- particularly women and Black researchers -- have returned to the documents of the Society to uncover the serious and often intersectional work being done by both white and Black activists in Port Royal reframing "the freedmen's education movement as not primarily a gift of northern largess.but as autonomous actions of hundreds of Black communities across the South demanding access to literacy and numeracy" The Freedmen's Teacher Project. In this sense those "dangerous" women were troubling because they heard the call of Black peoples took their needs seriously and reacted accordingly. The movement was thus "largely Black-inspired abetted by female missionary teachers" whose shared goals were to prepare "former slaves for lives of freedom in a democratic America" The Freedmen's Teacher Project. The present Annual Report shows the early efforts of this Society including fundraising allocation of funds educational programs and educational gains and future goals. Included in the list of Officers are eleven white women in leadership roles; indeed women were the majority in the Committee on Teachers and the Committee on Clothing and Supplies. Among them are more well-known activists who appear in American Abolitionists and Antislavery Activists i.e. Ednah Cheney and Sarah Barrett Cabot who had raised her daughter to become a leader in the movement. Most however are lesser or unknown denoted largely by their husbands' names rather than their own. Even less visible but even more important were the unlisted Black women who were members of the group and contributors to the grassroots work. "Nearly one-fifth of the Northern teachers were Black.Black teachers were fifteen times more likely to give a few years of their lives to Southern Black education.the rest of the recruited teachers were native to the South; many had been enslaved while others were Southern free Black women and other men of color" The Freedmen's Teacher Project. The accomplishments in the report -- fundraising equipment educational gains -- can largely be attributed to their efforts. The report for the first year of the organization is exceedingly rare with only one example listed in OCLC; twelve copies of the present report appear in OCLC though no copies have appeared in modern auction records and no other copies are currently in trade. An important and scarce historical document preserving the accomplishments of a fairly short-lived intersectional activist group with vital reports on the activities of freed slaves throughout the southern part of the country.

A very handsome set some hinges starting the textblocks clean fresh crisp and unpressed. RARE FIRST EDITION COMPLETE OF THIS IMPORTANT HISTORY OF ENGLAND FROM THE FIRST INVASION OF THE ROMANS PRESENTED IN HANDSOME CONTEMPORARY BINDINGS. John Lingard 5 February 1771 – 17 July 1851 was an English Roman Catholic priest and historian the author of The History of England From the First Invasion by the Romans to the Accession of Henry VIII an eight-volume work published in 1819. Lingard was a teacher at the English College at Douai and at the seminary at Crook Hall and later St. Cuthbert's College. In 1811 he retired to Hornby in Lancashire to continue work on his writing. The principal object of his major work The History of England is to emphasise the disastrous effects of the Reformation. The book was later expanded by the author and the title changed to reflect the period covered. As each additional volume appeared the History's reputation increased while Lingard continued to revise and improve the whole work. Lingard himself argued that one of his chief duties as an historian was: "to weigh with care the value of the authorities on which I rely and to watch with jealousy the secret workings of my own personal feelings and prepossessions. Such vigilance is a matter of necessity to every writer of history . Otherwise he will be continually tempted to make an unfair use of the privilege of the historian; he will sacrifice the interests of truth to the interests of party national or religious or political." J. Lingard "History of England" vol 1 6th edition London: Charles Dolman 1854 p. 6. Lingard adopted a non-controversial and sober approach to history with the emphasis on incontrovertible fact and using primary rather than secondary sources. Lingard's History is also an apt demonstration of the advantages a Catholic historian of the time may have had in terms of impartiality. Lingard's religion had to a large extent isolated him from the mainstream nationalism which surrounded Protestant historians as well as from the growing "providentialist" concept of history. Lingard's strength of argument however continued to be popular and the influence of Protestant animosity for Catholic apologetic also led him to develop a keen critical judgment. He was devoted to absolute accuracy and detail and the History was a groundbreaking work in its use of primary sources. Lingard made extensive use of Vatican archives and French Italian Spanish and English dispatches document collections and state papers – the first British historian to do so. The peripheral nature of English Catholicism put him in a position of "outside observer" to much of English intellectual culture and this is reflected in his historical works. Despite this distancing effect however Lingard maintained an active interest in politics all his life and was a noted pamphleteer. History of England is a substantial scholarly work which gave full treatment to the history of England. From 1811 until his death in 1851 Lingard spent most of his life in the village of Hornby near Lancaster where he devoted himself to his study and writing. A quiet gentle man he was well liked by the residents. Lingard's popularity as an historian had its day but his contribution to historical method came at a critical point in British intellectual history. Printed for J. Mawman in Ludgate Street; Printed for Baldwin and Cradock, Paternoster-Row and Joseph Booker, New Bond Street hardcover
