187717899Edinburgh & London 1877. Hand-coloured lithograph by Day & Son. Sheet size: 22 3/8 x 16 7/8 inches. A very fine plate from Ravenscroft's 'The Pinetum Britannicum. A Descriptive Account of Hardy Coniferous Trees'<br/> <br/>Ravenscroft's work is the third in order of publication of the three great coniferous iconographies of the nineteenth century following Bedford and Lambert. The very fine plates fall into two categories: botanical studies of details of the needles and fruit of the individual trees and landscape studies of examples of individual trees in their natural habitat. This plate is an outstanding example of the latter group here by and after William Richardson.<br/> <br/>Cf. Nissen BBI 1588; cf. Great Flower Books 1990 p.127; cf.

Pages are otherwise very clean and clear. Binding is tight. Burgundy cloth boards with gilt spine lettering; red black and white dj mylar cover; xvi 312 pp. "Historians overwhelmingly have blamed the demise of Reconstruction on the South and on white Americans' persistent racism. Heather Cox Richardson argues instead that class along with race was critical to Reconstruction's end. Northern support for freed blacks and Reconstruction weakened as growing labor interests critiqued the economy and called for government redistribution of wealth." "Using newspapers public speeches popular tracts Congressional reports and private correspondence Richardson traces the changing Northern attitudes toward African-Americans from the Republicans' idealized image of black workers in 1861 through the 1901 publication of Booker T. Washington's Up from Slavery. She examines such issues as black suffrage disfranchisement taxation westward migration lynching and civil rights to detect the trajectory of Northern disenchantment with Reconstruction. She reveals a growing backlash from Northerners against those who believed that inequalities should be addressed through working-class action and the emergence of an American middle class that championed individual productivity and saw African-Americans as a threat to their prosperity."--Jacket.

183228565Charlestown MA: Published by Wm. H. Wheldon 1832. Original plain wrappers stitched 38pp. A pleasing untrimmed copy in its unsophisticated state. Toned with scattered foxing else Very Good.<br/><br/> The pamphlet is a tale of religious persecution in Massachusetts against a lady of sterling character who failed to accept the divinity of Christ but who regarded him as the Messiah and human Son of God. It exposes the ill treatment of those with Unitarian sympathies and the dangers of insistence upon religious orthodoxy. Two editions were evidently published in 1832. <br/> Mrs. Richardson sought admission to the Second Congregational Church in Charlestown where she had recently moved. Its minister sought information about her from her previous church in Reading. The First Congregational Church in Reading had expelled her for turning toward Unitarianism. Its minister explained that his Church had "withdrawn all Christian watch and fellowship" from her for "violation of her own covenant vows" and her "departure" from orthodoxy. This pamphlet describes the First Church's disgraceful treatment of Mrs. Richardson: its minister and elders had frequently quizzed her closely about her theological beliefs accused her of denying Christ's divinity scolded her for poor church attendance and for propagating "pernicious statements" to Church members and called her to account at Church meetings. <br/>OCLC records seven locations under several accession numbers as of July 2015.

1757027964London: Printed and Sold By Luke Hinde 1757. Octavo. vi 236 pages. The remarkable story of an English boy raised in a Shepherd's home by a Quaker father who died when he was 12 leaving his mother to manage the farm with its sheep. The boy had an aversion to the Quakers because of their strict religious ways. He became converted to the Quaker faith at age 16 and became a well known preacher. He visited America to expand the faith among the Friends from Virginia to New York. He spent two years in the early 18th century preaching and debating with Baptists Episcopalians and others. He jointed with William Penn as they told the Indians about God the great Father. When asked about taxes that might be used to support the military he argued that in America where already there was more freedom than in England there was more of an obligation to avoid cooperating with anything that involved making war. The names John Richardson and Nathaniel Richardson are on the front pastedown and typical of late 18th century writing but after the death of the author. The front board is nearly detached.
