1800List2802London United Kingdom 1800. Single four page letter measuring 4 ½ x 7 inches. Near fine. Frances Anne “Fanny†Kemble 1809–1893 was a British actor writer and later abolitionist. After her initial retirement from acting she married Pierce Mease Butler maternal grandson of American Founding Father Pierce Butler. Butler and Kemble lived in Philadelphia but Butler had been deeded three large plantations—and the people enslaved on them—on Butler Island in Georgia. Kemble finally saw the plantations for herself several years into their marriage and during this time wrote Journal of a Residence on a Georgian Plantation in 1838–1839 which was critical of the conditions of the enslaved people. Butler forbade Kemble to publish the Journal; the two divorced but it was not published until 1863.<br /> <br /> Offered here is a letter from Fanny Kemble to a publisher or newspaper editor about printing her response to a statement in an article about American slavery likely written following her return to London in 1877. Kemble is frustrated about not having received a reply to her initial note to the publisher which was:<br /> <br /> “in consequence of an article which appeared to me extremely likely to the public judgement upon the subject of American slavery – I was extremely anxious to offer some reply to the statement in that article & wrote to you to beg you could tell me whether you would receive & publish such a communication from me . it contained some references to my own private circumstances which I intended for you & no one else.â€<br /> <br /> Of interest to scholars of the abolitionist movement especially women abolitionists. unknown

II. Second edition substantially revised and corrected of this sweeping history of the Hieronymites monastic orders of monks and nuns of the Poor Hermits of Saint Jerome Pisa first established near Pisa in 1377 and would eventually grow to fifty houses of which two still survive in Rome and Viterbo Italy. Sajanelli was a general director of the Hieronymite Poor Hermits of Blessed Saint Jerome Pisa and doctor of theology of Padua who has carefully assembled all of the related documents along with detailed indices and chronologies together with Papal Bulls and monastic orders chronicling the origins and ongoing mission of the this order. Convents with extensive documentation included by Sajanelli include those of the Convent of the Most Holy Trinity founded in 1380 near Montebellum the Convent of Saint Jerome outside of Ariminum and that of Saint Mary of the Annunciation in the town of Saint Anthimum founded originally in 1490. Originating in Spain the monastic order was recognized by Pope Gregory XI in his Papal Bull dated Oct. 18 1373 recognizing the religious order to operate under the Rule of St. Augustine and both monks and nuns adopted the religious order habits of white tunics with brown scapulars similar to the Carmelites. The first nunnery convent began in Toledo Spain led by Maria Garcia near Toledo and perhaps the most revered and well known was Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz of the convent of San Jeronimo y Stanta Paula in Mexico City considered the “Tenth Muse.†See: Perennes Dicionnaire de Bibliographie Catholique Vol. III 1839 p. 933-934; Besse Hieronymites Catholic Encyclopedia 1910.
