Autograph letter signed by Emma Maynard Dow Gould William Gould's wife to John likely John Mead Gould William's brother regarding the broadside and Garrison letter offered here. Probably Boston 2 May 1892. 1 p. 7.75" x 4.875". CONDITION: Very good old folds. with Half plate daguerreotype of the Gould family. Portland Maine 1853. Housed in a thermoplastic case. CONDITION: Very good image clear and un-touched mat tarnished case fully intact and attractive. An exceptionally rare broadside relating to one of the most notorious moments in the history of abolitionism accompanied by a letter of William Lloyd Garrison providing an account of events and referring to his "ruffianly seizure" by the pro-slavery mob with a related family letter and Gould family daguerreotype. In 1835 one of the leading British abolitionists George Thompson 1804-1878 traveled from the United Kingdom for a lecture tour of the United States in response to an invitation from William Lloyd Garrison whom he had met in 1832 in Scotland where the two became friends. In the 1877 ALS included here Garrison recalls the events surrounding the broadside: "On the 21st of October 1835 the Boston Female Anti-Slavery Society attempted to hold its annual meeting. At that time George Thompson the eloquent and successful advocate of British West India Emancipation was laboring here with the Abolitionists and by their invitation to effect a similar deliverance for the Southern slave population. To intensify the popular pro-slavery spirit against him he was falsely and maliciously branded by the press as a British emissary who had been sent here by the British Government with his pockets lined with British gold 'for the purpose of overthrowing our Glorious Union' etc etc." The broadside explicitly intended to incite a mob yet attempting to characterize its purpose as patriotic calls for the pro-slavery supporters to seize and tar Thompson: That infamous scoundrel THOMPSON will hold forth this afternoon at the Liberator Office No. 48 Washington Street. The present is a fair opportunity for the friends of the Union to snake Thompson out! It will be a contest between the Abolitionists and the friends of the Union. A purse of $100 has been raised by a number of patriotic citizens to reward the individual who shall first lay violent hands on Thompson so that he may be brought to the tar kettle before dark. Friends of the Union be vigilant! Aware of the gathering mob Thompson did not attend the meeting as scheduled and Garrison instead went to speak to the Society. Garrison continues with his description of the events unfolding including fascinating details of the author and publisher of the inciting broadside: "It was deemed prudent by ladies for his own personal safety that he should not attend the meeting aforesaid; nevertheless it was rumored that he was to be present and this led to the issuing of the mob-exciting placard which you have copied in your letter and about which you express a wish to be further informed. That placard was written by James L. Homer editor of the Boston Gazette and printed in his office and distributed throughout the city!" Garrison concludes with his own experience on the day: "The result was the gathering of a mob of five thousand persons the breaking up of the ladies meeting my ruffianly seizure and being dragged through the streets finally rescued by the city constabulary and incarceration in Leverett Street jail to save my life." Garrison was indeed seized by the pro-slavery mob and was dragged through the streets with a rope around his waist with the intent of tarring and feathering him or worse. Boston Mayor Theodore Lyman II intervened and confined Garrison for his own safety. The example of the broadside offered here at one time owned by Reverend C. C. Mason of the Methodist Episcopal Church was subsequently given to William Gould whose curiosity regarding events surrounding it led him to write to Garrison. Gould's letter penned from Portland Maine on November 14th 1877 is in the Boston Public Library's Anti-Slavery Collection MS A.1.2 v.39 p. 154A. He writes in part: "I have copied upon the page annexed a sheet sent me by an old minister. It is so very different from the state of things today that I want to frame it for my Library & I would be very glad to frame also any reply you may be pleased to make to me when I now ask you if you will. Kindly tell me what year this was. What was the result of the appeal and if it is known who was the author of the document." Also included here is an 1892 letter from Gould's wife Emma 1836-1918 to his brother John offering the collection of items to him: "Edw. has framed a relic which he thinks you may like. It is a placard printed in Boston in Feb. sic 1835 intended to incite a pro-slavery mob at the time of an anti-slavery meeting with it is an autographed letter from Wm. Loyd sic Garrison explaining it which he wrote Edw. in reply to one from him asking information about the affair. If you would like it perhaps Theo will come for it. I am breaking up and packing and it will be one thing out of my way. If you do not come for it he will give it to the Historical Society." Emma refers here to her husband by his middle name Edward. Lending additional interest to this lot is a half plate daguerreotype of the Gould family of Portland Maine. Edward Gould 1805-1894 and his wife Althea Chase Gould 1808-1894 are seated at center surrounded by their six children. William E. Gould the eldest son stands at the center his hand resting on his father's shoulder. To the left of William is his brother John Mead Gould who would go on to achieve distinction in the Civil War. Although often cited in accounts of the abolitionist movement the Thompson broadside is exceptionally rare. We locate just two copies in institutions at The National Museum of African American History & Culture and the Massachusetts Historical Society. OCLC records a copy at the Library of Congress dated 1851 in the record but it is pictured on the LC site and appears to be a reproduction of some sort. An important group of items documenting the conflict in Boston surrounding abolitionism in the 1830s and a wonderful example of private historical preservation. Provenance: Reverend Charles C.

1885réf. 42031Philadelphia: W.H. Butler n.d. ca 1885. 1885. TRADE CATALOG. 5 11/16" x 12 3/4" color sheet folded to 6 panels. Illustrations. Among the successful shoe-machines invented by the Globe Buffer company was the “Globe Buffer” a machine for “buffing” or sandpapering the bottoms of boots and shoes. The first “ Globe Buffer" was set up in November 1881. The company also manufactured the “Globe Heel Scourer” for smoothing or scouring the edges of heels of boots and shoes. The company also introduced the "Globe Insole" an invention the promised to replace the flexible leather that was currently in vogue for insoles to shoes. It was invented and patented by Mr. George A. Fullerton and consists of a substance very similar to leather but which is stronger and much more flexible. To test the merits the shoes thousands of pairs were produced and worn and in not a single pair of them did a stitch give out. The material for the insoles is stronger than any leather of the same thickness. It is preserved while leather is destroyed by perspiration. The edges are smooth which prevents them from cutting the stitches. Shoes made of it will not squeak. The brochure offers one cover panel showing 2 cherubs one holding a woman's boot and the other the "Globe Flexible Insole; one panel offering the company's guarantee; and one panel offering information about their insoles. "Remember that the INSOLE is the foundation of the shoe and that Glove Flexible Insole" is superior in every particular to leather or any other known substance. That the stitches and tacks are all beneath the surface thus contributing a smooth soft cushion." Opposite 3 panels offers a beautiful color sailing scene showing a yacht race and with "Compliments of the Globe Buffer co. only Manufacturers of Globe Flexible Insoles at the bottom of one panel. One panel has been separated and neatly reattached using cellophane tape. W.H. Butler, n.d. [ca 1885]. hardcover

réf. 3727267Boston; New-England Printed by Green & Russell at their Office in Queen-street MDCCLVII. 1757. First Edition. 27 1 blankpp. Small 8vo. In contemporary homemade two-piece coarse paper cover with annotations; hand-stitched. Ownership inscriptions: on upper homemade cover “Lydia Studley Her Book” and on verso of final leaf “Lydia Studley.” Cover and all pages with rounded corners; foxing and minor soiling; without half-title else very good. Colonial Boston sermon given on the occasion of the installation of the Reverend Samuel Baldwin 1731-1784 as pastor of the First Congregational church in Hanover Massachusetts. At the foot of page 27 is an interesting provenance: “Lydia Studley Her Book. Given to her by the Reverend Mr. Samuel Baldwin.” She is likely Lydia Studley 1748–1828 of Hanover Plymouth County Massachusetts: Baldwin became a fervent American Revolution patriot. A Harvard College graduate “he carried his arms to church; and on one occasion while the British were lying at Boston and infesting the coast he thanked the Lord ‘that there was hemp sufficient to hang all the Tories.’”¹ The author Rev. William Cook was born in Hadley Massachusetts in 1696.
