1848ref. List3729Corning New York 1848. Two autograph letters signed from C. H. Berry. Each 3 pp measuring 8 x 10 inches. Very good plus. A pair of letters from C. H. Berry of Corning New York who was apparently both a schoolteacher and active in Free Soil circles in the area. The earlier letter written in 1847 provides an unexpected look at corporal punishment in the classroom. Berry writes: "I am in my school yet. I have four weeks or nearly that to keep yet. I storm round like an old sailor have my hands full but enjoy the pleasure of seeing the little 'varmints' learn. I had a speck of variety today. Several boys stayed out this forenoon after recess. This afternoon I called them up & after talking a spell told them I should punish them for staying out. One fellow squared himself & said he should not be punished! He was a huge fellow with a boxer's ring on his fingers weighing one or two ounces. He swore flat in my face when I began to talk with him. I told him in consideration of his being saucy he must take off his coat. I took the young man by the collar with one hand and applied a strap of harness leather to his legs with the other. He flourished his tongue his arms & legs in a furious way till finding my own was too long for him to reach me he dove for the poker. I just laid him out a couple of times & then plied my straps till his coat came off with a rush & numerous apologies followed it. He said he swore because he was mad he always did so & thought it very unfortunate that he had such a habit. I then punished him for staying out and told him to take his seat which he did very quietly." The second letter written during the immediate aftermath of the election of 1848 shifts dramatically toward national politics. Berry offers a frank assessment of the political future of anti-slavery organization: "In 'Free Soil' matters we have done up all we expected to here and are perfectly satisfied. Our party is firmly organized. Our cause has the sympathy of honest men of all parties and as Taylor is elected let me tell you just what I think of it: Cass has showed his hand and that party can not claim to be free soil men in 1852 or at any time hereafter. Taylor is in a position where he will be obliged to declare himself also. Now if Taylor disappoints the South and comes out a freedom man it will be in consequence of this Northern movement and we have attained all we wanted. But if which is more likely he goes for the South his supporters in the free states will be without the least color of excuse in 1852 and they must join our party & there will not be a grease spot of their organization left. The case then is this: Nothing but 'liberty' will satisfy the people of the north. The Hunkers can not stand on this platform for they have repudiated it; the honest ones will be with us. The Whigs must come on to our ground and join us as a party by the acts of their Executive or declare against liberty which will destroy their party here and bring them to us in a disorganized mass. Then with 'repeal' as our motto we will teach them the error of their ways. We can not fail to succeed in my view of the case. Free soil forever." Written before the formation of the Republican Party and more than a decade before secession the letter captures anti-slavery political sentiment at a transitional moment when Free Soil activists believed sectional political realignment increasingly inevitable. An unusually readable pair balancing ordinary rural life with emerging sectional politics in antebellum New York.

One plate with small skillfully repaired tear at fore edge a few leaves and a dozen plates with sprinkled foxing isolated light offsetting and minor stains and soiling in the text but AN EXTREMELY FINE SET THE LOVELY BINDINGS UNUSUALLY BRIGHT AND VIRTUALLY UNWORN and internally very fresh and clean. This lavishly illustrated and handsomely bound set documents the very long and meaningful life of a spinster devoted to her father and her sister—and to literature. Mary Berry 1763-1852 grew up in a family of modest fortune yet she knew a great many important people including Princess Caroline of Wales the estranged wife of the Regent their daughter Princess Charlotte and the author Mme. de Stael who described Mary as "by far the cleverest woman in England." Mary met Lord Byron and Napoleon but her greatest friend was Horace Walpole the society wit letter-writer and builder of the neo-gothic extravaganza Strawberry Hill. Walpole who met Berry and her younger sister Agnes when they were in their twenties became so fascinated by their wit and wisdom that he persuaded them to settle with their father near him at "Little Strawberry Hill" which he bequeathed to them in his will. He left them his manuscripts as well and Mary Berry became the editor of his works. She also authored a play and a study of English and French society but our collection of her journal entries and letters put together by Lady Theresa Lewis 1803-65 is Mary Berry's most enduring legacy. The journal begins when Mary at 20 sets out with her father and Agnes for a tour of Holland Switzerland and Italy where she looks at paintings attends plays and records the ups and downs of stagecoach travel. The letters and entries in her journal written until her death give a rare picture of her times and her clever and endearing personality. At the same time some entries are melancholic in which she attributes falling short of achievements commensurate with the level of her abilities and never experiencing marriage and motherhood. Besides charming portraits of the Berry sisters the illustrations in our expanded set depict the authors they read Dryden for example the painters whose works they viewed the many notable figures they met or gossiped about royalty politicians actresses people of fashion and views of the places they visited. Our lovely set was produced by the London bindery of W. T. Morrell established about 1861 as successor to the firm begun by Francis Bedford who in turn had taken over the famous bindery of Charles Lewis. Prideaux in her "Modern Bookbindings" published in 1906 says that Morrell at that time had a very large business that supplied "all the booksellers with bindings designed by his men" bindings that were "remarkable for their variety and merit." The six volumes here look remarkably attractive on the shelf. Longmans, Green, and Co unknown
