1858ref. 000378Boston: Little Brown and Company 1858. First Edition. . Hardcover. See Description. First Edition in book form. 8vo. pp. 79 1. Bound in a well preserved green blind stamped publisher's cloth. The front cover contains an area of fading or discoloration. A mild water stain line is visible on front end papers; pages are generally clean but lightly age-toned. George Lunt 1803-1885 was the U.S. district attorney for Massachusetts during President Zachary Taylor's administration. In 1857 he became editor of the conservative "Boston Courier." DAB. Lunt's book collects four anti-liberal essays which were originally published in the "Courier." Among them are the following - a diatribe against reformer Theodore Parker a refutation of a lecture given by Ralph Waldo Emerson a refutation of a pro-suffrage lecture given by Georg W. Curtis and an article entitled the "Philosophy of Abolition." PROVENANCE: Inscribed by Rev. Luther Farnham to Rev. Thomas Smyth on front blank page. A three page letter written by Farnham dated "Boston Feb. 2 1858" is also attached to the verso of the front free end paper. The letter is addressed to "Rev'd dear Sir" presumably Smyth. Rev. Luther Farnham 1816-1897 authored a booklet survey entitled "A Glance at Private Libraries" 1855 "the first study of its kind to be done in the United States." See Basbanes "A Gentle Madness" p.155-56. Farnham was also Secretary of the Southern Aid Society a missionary organization which preached the Gospel to poor whites and blacks down south. The letter concerns Farnham's intent to write a series of articles on the history agriculture religion and education of the southern states in the hopes of promoting better feelings between north and south. Rev. Thomas Smyth was presumably the well known Presbyterian theologian who lived in Charlestown South Carolina. He is mentioned in Farnham's library survey as possessing about 17000 books. for G.

Index to Appendix. Exhibits. Cover has slight wear and soiling. Newton Leroy Gingrich born June 17 1943 is an American politician and author representing Georgia in Congress and ultimately serving as 50th Speaker of the United States House of Representatives from 1995 to 1999. He represented Georgia's 6th congressional district from 1979 until his resignation in 1999. Gingrich won election to the United States House of Representatives in November 1978 the first Republican in the history of Georgia's 6th congressional district to do so. He served as House Minority Whip from 1989-95 and Speaker of the House from 1995-99. Gingrich was a major leader in the Republican victory in the 1994 congressional election. In 1995 Time named him "Man of the Year" for "his role in ending the four-decades-long Democratic majority in the House". He received a reprimand from the House for Gingrich's ethics violation. Eighty-four ethics charges were filed by Democrats against Gingrich during his term as Speaker. All were eventually dropped except for one: claiming tax-exempt status for a college course run for political purposes. On January 21 1997 the House officially reprimanded Gingrich in a vote of 395 in favor 28 opposed and "ordered him to reimburse the House for some of the costs of the investigation in the amount of $300000". It was the first time a Speaker was disciplined for an ethics violation. Additionally the House Ethics Committee concluded that inaccurate information supplied to investigators represented disregard of House rules. The full committee panel did not agree whether tax law had been violated and left that issue up to the IRS. In 1999 the IRS cleared the organizations connected with the "Renewing American Civilization" courses under investigation for possible tax violations. U. S. Government Printing Office paperback

1997ref. 606This book is in very good condition. There is a little wear on the front back spine and edges of the cover. The pages are white crisp and clear of any markings. "The question at issue. We have always had the ability to commit suicide or request euthanasia in times of serious illness-that is intentionally to take our own lives to end our pain and suffering or to have others do this for us. Yet the acts have been prohibited within the Christian tradition from early times. Is there reason to change this prohibition today This question in turn engages a larger one: How can we help one another to die a good Christian death" - Introduction from Assisted Suicide and Euthanasia: Christian Moral Perspectives: The Washington Report Morehouse Publishing paperback
