1682046918Dublin: Joseph Ray 1682. Second Edition. Hardcover rebound in leather. Very Good Condition. Rebound in contemporary leather extensive contemporary notes to front endpapers one endpaper with the upper right corner torn. Quite clean internally - in two parts a third was published in 1689. 14 70 8 154pp<br/><br/>The first and second parts of Ware's extensive and pernicious forgeries of church history intended to stir up anti-Catholic anti-Irish and anti-Jesuit sentiment. They played a large role in the absurd stories surrounding the Popish Plot and many of Ware's creations continued to pollute reformation history into the 19th 20th and even 21st centuries. Ware was the son of a prominent historian and used his father John's name to legitimize the documents that he "found" - one of the most long lived forgeries was a Cranmer letter at the beginning of part two which entered into Cranmer's works and was preserved for centuries through misattributions by historians such as John Strype and wishful thinking. Rare in commerce. Size: Octavo 8vo. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: Under 1 kilo. Category: Religion & Theology; History. Inventory No: 046918. Joseph Ray hardcover books

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.

19243357Kentucky Wisconsin Illinois Kansas Minnesota Ohio Wyoming Michigan South Dakota Colorado 1924. Red leather sheep over card ornately stamped in gilt. Album measures 8 x 9.75 inches and is comprised of 108 manuscript pages in a variety of hands with multiple entries per page. Also includes two pasted-in newspaper clippings and a series of loosely inserted ephemera two obituary clippings for the book's owner five calling cards a church bulletin a gown ad an envelope with a death notice of a friend and a car rental flyer from Oklahoma. Tracing the life of Laura Nethers nee Earl from her girlhood and marriage to her old age. Obituaries and census records show that Laura was a resident of Colorado Springs for 56 years following her family's move from the South through the Western US.<br/><br/>The inscription to the first page of the album reveals it to be a gift: "1860. A Christmas gift from father. Covington KY." Above this is the ownership stamp of Laura L. Earl. Little did Laura know the album would follow her across 64 years and to a variety of states documenting her relationships and major moments in her life. For researchers it is an opportunity to trace a woman's development from one century to the next across multiple states in the South and West as she grew into a teacher wife and woman's club activist. Growing up in Kentucky Laura's family moved West. Entries show that she and her father lived awhile in Minnesota and she became a teacher in Wisconsin before marrying and settling in Colorado Springs. Entries come from family pastors students neighbors and friends. Many entries show women's bonds across large stretches of space and together they show what a mobile lifestyle women were increasingly living. No longer confined so a small radius or single homestead they were maintaining relationships and making friends across the miles. <br/><br/>Some early entries like that of Celia E. Hay Illinois 1878 are traditional in nature: "Over our hearts and into our lives shadows may sometimes fall But the sunshine is never wholly dead And heaven is shadowless overhead And God is over all." Students politely thank her for her work and hope they made an impact too: "I ever remain your true friend James U. Cobb. To Miss Laura Earl much Respected Teacher Ellensboro Wisconsin Feb 25 1872." People write poetic verses on friendship or her new marriage throughout.<br/><br/>Yet more often entries are personal. In 1879 Laura's father leaves her a humorous message that "It is ten o'clock and your sixty-one year old father expects a long trip to the Injun Reservation two hundred miles north in the morning.So you see I cannot write any tonight." Elva Walker writes from Colorado in 1885 "We will ever remember our camping trip.and going in a cave" and John Dietrich writes of the same trip "Did it rain while we were camping! I hope we will meet again soon." In August 1919 a friend Emma Eggleston writes an original piece about their recent travel titled Pike's Peak by Auto which begins "19 and 19 was a year to remember from the last of July to the last of September" and which documents in 36 verses the landscapes they passed and the friendship they strengthened while driving. Moments like these are a reminder of changing times -- of early attitudes toward indigenous tribes or of women's freedom as suffrage approached. <br/><br/>A charter member of the Colorado Women's Club and a participant in Frances Willard's Women's Christian Temperance Union according to her obituary Laura's friendship album is a rich space for researchers to trace her movements through communities in the West for genealogists to study the families and lives of contributors and for historians to track which entries come from other educated women and activists. The present is one of the best we've seen. unknown books
