ref. 21299Dated from Versailles. 1789. 2pp 4to. On leaf tipped-in onto a piece of light-green card from an album at head of which is attached a printed slip: 'BARENTIN C. L. F. de P. Born 1738. Died 1819. KEEPER OF THE SEALS TO LOUIS XVI.' The letter is undated but the year '1789' has been added in pencil in a nineteenth-century hand. That same year following the Storming of the Bastille Barentin was dismissed by the king. Nineteen lines of closely-written text. Addressed at bottom left of first leaf to 'M le P Gl' Monsieur le Procureur général. The hand is difficult but the letter would appear to concern a 'crime' committed by 'Gièvna' and Barentin's desire to appeal to the king for clemency. Towards the end he requests 'un detail des faits que je puise mettre aussitot sous les yeux de sa majesté' the 'malheureux' being 'digne de pitié'. Dated from Versailles. [1789] unknown

1972ref. 206841972. SEALS Howard E. After "-Yuh Mamma". Chicago: Howard Seals 1972. First Edition. A sequel to the pamphlet "You Ain't Thuh Man Yuh Mamma Wuz" published in 1969 which made the central claim: "NOT ONE Black man is known to have sex-murdered a baby girl. THOUSANDS of white men have committed this crime!" Seals notes the bizarre coincidence that "shortly after the pamphlet was advertised by posters and was distributed on Chicago's South and West sides there began a series of murders of young Black girls in Chicago that appeared to directly contradict the assertion." Seals goes on to examine the history of "ritual murder" in the Black community noting its absence is informed by the fact that "in Africa such crime is so completely unknown that there is no adequate language with which to talk about it" and deducing "A number of policemen some of quite high rank probably have direct knowledge and complicity in these staged murders." An interesting artifact of the Black Power movement. Very good condition overall. unknown
