Wright circa 1830-1880 a farmer and laborer in Westfield Chatauqua County New York. Westfield is in the section of western New York State popularly known as the "Burnt Over District" it is also a dozen miles from Lily Dale the birthplace of the modern Spiritualist movement. The Wright's were presumably one of the many families caught up in the religious fervor sweeping the area. The diary notes attendance on several occasions at Spiritualist meetings. Our diarist John R. Wright and his father James were two of about twenty-five people from Westfield that signed a petition in 1854 for the Spiritualist Newspaper asking Congress to appoint a "Scientific Commission to investigate certain physical and mental phenomena of questionable origin and mysterious import that have of late occurred in this country and in Europe." Wright's diary with its memoranda and cash account sections as well as in its entries helps to document the everyday life of a laborer and farmer in the "Burnt Over District" in the mid-nineteenth century. Particularly in the economic and social network of small town life in western New York State at this time. <br /><br /> paperback books

Corners lightly bumped very slight scattered foxing nineteenth-century ink stamp of H.J. Jones and penciled signature of Samuel Jones on front free endpaper; very good or better. According to the Preface this collection was commissioned by the American Anti-Slavery Society for use by "those who have been accustomed to meet to pray for the Emancipation of the Slave." Hatfield a Presbyterian minister and student of hymns selected and liberally edited 291 hymns songs and poems--including three credited to John Greenlead Whittier--and organized them thematically into sections titled "The Cause of the Slave" "The Slave Comforted" "The Slave Exhorted to Patience and Hope" "The Rights of the Slave" "Appeals in Behalf of the Slave" subdivided into appeals to masters freemen women and Christian "Slaveholders Admonished" "The Friends of the Slave Encouraged" "The Friends of the Slave Assembled" and "Emancipation." As scholar Cheryl C. Boots argues Freedom's Lyre stands out from the hundreds of collections of hymns published in the nineteenth century because the performance of these hymns "helped connect their secular cause with a sacred one" and "functioned within the ranks of the abolitionists as a commonly held language of identity and protest that engaged singers' emotions as it affirmed the humanity of blacks" Singing for Equality the American Antislavery and Indian Rights Movements 1640-1855.

A scarce account by the last man jailed in the United States for blashemy. Abner Kneeland 1774-1844 was a former Universalist minister who became a popular freethinker and reformer in the 1830s. He lectured widely and founded and edited the Boston Investigator a weekly social-reform journal that advocated public schools equality regardless of race or sex a better life for working people and the abolition of slavery and imprisonment for debt. After stating in print that he did not believe in God Kneeland was indicted for blasphemy in 1833 under a Massachusetts law enacted in 1782. He nedured multiple trials resulting in hung juries but was finally convicted in 1838 and--despite vocal support from Ralph Waldo Emerson William Ellery Channing William Lloyd Garrison Bronson Alcott and other leading reformers--jailed for two months. Here he offers an account of his prosecution as well as a vigorous defense of free thought. Sabin 38091. George A. Chapman hardcover books
