184020881New York: S.W. Benedict 1840. First Edition. Hardcover. Very good. 4.75 x 3 inches pp. vi 265 including index of first lines. Publisher's blind-stamped brown cloth with gilt spine lettering. 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.

O'Sullivan.It was a highly regarded journal meant to champion Jacksonian Democracy a movement usually been disparaged in the more conservative North American Review.

The journal supported Martin Van Buren in the 1840 presidential election who lost and James K. Polk in the 1844 election who won. The Democratic Review was also perhaps even primarily a literary magazine promoting the development of American literature. Some of its regular contributors were Nathaniel Hawthorne and John Greenleaf Whittier with occasional contributions by William Cullen Bryant and James Fenimore Cooper" Wiki.

Caldwell 1772-1853 was a student and at times a critic of Benjamin Rush and founder of the Louisville Medical Institute. He was one of several American physicians of the early nineteenth century who popularized the term "physical education" by which they meant the instruction of children in all matters relating to the body and its overall health. In this work which achieved national recognition Caldwell argues that physical education is an essential companion to moral and intellectual education for without it "man cannot attain the perfection of his nature." It should include "every thing that by bearing in any way on the human body might injure or benefit in its health vigor or fitness for action" including "diet cleanliness clothing atmospherical temperature respiration muscular exercise sleep and animal passions.

William Henry Heard 1850-1937 was born into slavery in Georgia. After emancipation he worked as a farm laborer but pursued every opportunity for education during his free time eventually enabling him to attend the University of South Carolina and secure a teaching certification. He served briefly in the South Carolina State legislature and in 1878 he joined and became an active member of the African Methodist Episcopal A.M.E. Church. In 1895 Grover Cleveland appointed him Consul General to Liberia where he also served as Superintendent of the Liberia Annual Conference of the A.M.E. Church and spearheaded construction of the first A.M.E. church in Monrovia. In this scarce pamphlet Heard provides the A.M.E. General Conference with an assessment of the state of missionary work in Liberia and Sierra Leone. He reports favorably on the situation in Sierra Leone but says that the work in Liberia is "more in name than in fact" due to insufficient funding and poor sanitary conditions which result in sick missionaries returning to the United States every few years and "disorganizes and hinders the progress of our work." He makes several recommendations for change increased salaries and travel allowances purchase of a boat to replace the canoes currently used for river travel and provides lists of receipts and expenditures for 1908-1912 and missionary appointments for 1912.

Quarto 11 3/4" x 9 3/4" bound in full leather with raised spine bands and gilt lettering to spine. HillI page 141. Sabin 31181 First edition.<br /><br />Manuscript journal was found by La Pérouse when he captured Fort Albany; later one of his conditions of surrender was that it be published. Samuel Hearne 1745 – November 1792 was an explorer fur-trader author and naturalist. He was the first European to make an overland excursion across northern Canada to the Arctic Ocean In 1774 Hearne built Cumberland House for the Hudson's Bay Company its first interior trading post and the first permanent settlement in present Saskatchewan. From 1769 to 1772 Hearne was employed in north-western discovery searching especially for certain copper mines described by Indians as "Far-Away-Metal River". These copper mines were found in the Barren Lands where the ground is permanently frozen to within a few inches of the surface creating in many areas vast stretches of mosquito- and fly-infested swamp during the summer thaw. For this reason it was decided that travel in winter was preferable. His first attempt began on 6 November 1769. The large size of the expedition and too much European equipment being carried led to the desertion of his Indian guides and the failure of the expedition. His second commencing 23 February 1770 failed because his quadrant was broken and much of his equipment was stolen. Learning from the mistakes of the first two expeditions Hearne contrived to travel as the only European with a group of Indians led by the great chief Matonabbee. The group also included eight of Matonabbee's wives to act as beasts of burden in the sledge traces camp servants and cooks. This third expedition set out in December 1770 in order to reach the Coppermine River in summer by which he could descend to the Arctic in canoes. Matonabbee kept a fast pace so fast they reached the great caribou traverse before provisions dwindled and in time for the spring hunt. Here all the Indian hunters of the north gathered to hunt the vast herds of caribou migrating north for summer. A store of meat was laid up for Hearne's voyage and a band of warriors joined the expedition. Matonabbee ordered the women to wait for his return in the Athabasca country to the west. The Chipewyans were generally a mild and peaceful people however they were in a state of conflict with the Inuit. A great number of Indians joined Hearne's party to accompany them to the Coppermine River with intent to murder Inuit who were understood to frequent that river in considerable numbers.2 On July 14 1771 they reached the Coppermine River a small stream flowing over a rocky bed in the "Barren Lands of the Little Sticks". A few miles down the river just above a cataract were the domed wigwams of an Eskimo camp. At 1am on July 17 1771 Matonabbee and the other Indians fell upon the sleeping Eskimo in a ruthless massacre. Approximately twenty men women and children were killed; this would be known as the Massacre at Bloody Falls. A few days later Hearne was the first European to reach the shore of the Arctic Ocean by an overland route. By tracing the Coppermine River to the Arctic Ocean he had established there was no northwest passage through the continent at lower latitudes. This expedition also proved successful in its primary goal by discovering copper in the Coppermine River basin. However an intensive search of the area yielded only one four-pound lump of copper and commercial mining was not considered viable. Matonabbee led Hearne back to Churchill by a wide westward circle past Bear Lake in Athabasca Country. In midwinter he became the first European to see and cross Great Slave Lake. Hearne returned to Fort Prince of Wales on 30 June 1772 having walked some 5000 miles and explored more than 250000 square miles.<br /><br />Condition:<br /><br />Rebound in attractive leather with raised spine bands.
