A scarce work issued to celebrate the abolition of slavery in British colonies with the Slavery Abolition Act passed in 1833 and going into effect on 1 August 1834. "On the memorable day when British Colonial Slavery ceased the 'Peckham Negro's Friend and Instruction Society' held a special meeting with a view to 'signalizing the day of Negro Emancipation by some act of Christian benevolence" and accordingly came to the unanimous resolution of undertaking 'the charge of an Adult School to be established in the island of Jamaica. The necessary steps were taken to effect this design; and it is the hope of aiding the the extension of its practical usefulness which has prompted a few individuals who have long felt deeply interested in the Negro's cause to collect into a small volume such poems as may be within their reach written for the most part in special commemoration of the abolition of Slavery and to apply the profit if any to the furtherance of the object before described." The authors of most of these poems have signed with their initials only. This is the first edition. LCP 2587. Published by Edmund Fry unknown

Of particular note is a printing of the Treaty of New Echota a treaty that a small minority of members of the Cherokee Indian Tribe signed and that sold their land east of the Mississippi River to the US government. This treaty led directly to the forced removal of the Cherokee people from their land infamously known as the Trail of Tears. Also present is a lengthy account of the trial of the Prophet Matthais for murder. This trial also accused Sojourner Truth who at the time worked as a servant for Matthais under the name Isabella of murder. Matthias alias of Robert Matthews was a pseudo-religious figure in the early to mid 1800s establishing a cult like following in New York. He even had a meeting with Joseph Smith at one point although both denounced each other as Satanic according to Wikipedia. Another notable articles is present discussing a racially integrated school established in Canaan New Hampshire the Noyes Academy.

ref. 018984No Place: No publisher. Pamphlet. Good. No publisher place or date. Perhaps circa 1864. Pamphlet. Lacking any wrappers that may have been issued. 16 pages. A work relying heavily on quoted scripture to discuss the will of God and people especially as it relates to politics and government. It appears this was a long-winded way for Mr. Halsted to assert that the New York City politicians associated with Tammany Hall were being victimized by the Albany Regency politicians who were apparently using their positions as politicians to gain personal wealth. Historical perspective suggests this letter now seems somewhat ironic. While not in Sabin the bibliography indicates Halsted wrote then published letters to presidents Pierce and Lincoln. Good condition. Faint dampstain to the lower foredge margin. Alphanumeric pencil notation to the upper front page. Minor soiling and foxing. No publisher unknown

1859ref. 017039Washington DC: Gales and Seaton 1859. Tabloid. Good. Side folding large tabloid newspaper. A single issue of this long running newspaper published in Washington DC first published in 1800 and publishing until 1870 with an eventual bias toward conservative Whig policies. Besides the usual ads and political news this issue contains two "Was Committed" notices last page bottom right one pertaining to Mary Norris George Park and Sally King the other pertaining to Lewis West. All four were African-Americans with Mary Norris George Park and Lewis West being enslaved people from enslaver Robert E. Lee. According to the US National Park Service website devoted to Robert E. Lee's Arlington House Memorial Mary Norris George Parks and another man Wesley Norris believed they were free based on a provision in the will of George Washington Custis. Based on this knowledge the three emancipated themselves traveling to Pennsylvania. They were all captured in Maryland. According to contemporary newspaper accounts New York Tribune in June 1859 Lee had the re-captured African-Americans whipped. Wesley Norris himself wrote an article in the Anti-Slavery Standard in 1866 which provides his account of the whipping. Early historians and biographers dismissed both accounts considering them to be accounts used for anti-slavery propaganda. Lee himself was silent on the subject with many of his contemporaries and historians taking his silence as a denial. However modern research suggests the accounts of Wesley Norris and others were true dispelling the myth of Lee as benevolent enslaver perpetuated by earlier historians. The first notice states that Norris Park and West were committed to jail on May 26th and that "George and Mary say they belong to Col. Robert Lee of Fairfax County Virginia." The complexion and height of all three are given as well as descriptions of the clothing they wore. Sally King asserted that she was free living in Washington with a Mrs. D. Bread. According to the piece they all initially left Washington on May 22nd 1859. The second notice contains the same information as the first although it appears Lewis West was jailed on May 27th but also asserted he "belongs to Col. Robert Lee." Both notices request that the "owner or owners" come forward and pay all charges due. Also present is a notice of "young servants for sale" indicating the availability of several girls from ages 11 to 15 as well as young men from 21 to 25 years old. All were apparently located in Georgetown. The newspaper is in GOOD condition. Paper split chipped and deteriorating along the spine with very slight loss of letters to some of the "was committed" ads. Horizontal and vertical fold creases present. Moderate toning along the spine edge. Small hole worn through at the intersection of the fold creases. Some wrinkling and creasing to the paper. Several small tears along the extremities.
