196841019Nyack NY: The Fellowship of Reconciliation 1968. Original photographic broadside offset printed in black on white stock measuring 36.75cm x 55.75cm 14.5" x 22". Old folds BOSS Archives rubber-stamp at upper right margin else Near Fine. Attractive broadside issued by the US arm of The Fellowship of Reconciliation FOR a religious nonviolent group founded in 1915 by 68 pacifists who claim to be "the largest oldest interfaith peace and justice organization in the United States." The contents reproduced from their appearance in the New York Times June 16 1968 and Los Angeles Times June 23 1968 came closely on the heels of Robert F. Kennedy's assassination. Beside photographic portraits of Kennedy Martin Luther King Jr. and John F. Kennedy the broadside calls the abolition of small artms and for American citizens to disarm themselves: "But Americans have permitted a climate of violence to grow in their society. They have allowed advertising to fill their television screens with simple-minded glamorization of violence and pressure groups to block legislation that would make it harder for sick men to possess the weapons of murder." Listed are an "honor roll of self-disarmers" suggestions for how one could get on the honor roll and a mail-in pledge card at lower right corner. Scarce; not found in OCLC though we note an example held in the Martin Luther King Jr. collection at Beloit College. The Fellowship of Reconciliation unknown
80612N.p. n.d. Hopedale: 1848. 16mo 15cm. Sewn self-wrappers; 12pp. A worn copy stain on first leaf bleeds with diminishing effect through entire text; marginal loss to final leaf not costing text; still complete and Good. Issued without imprint but likely printed at Adin Ballou's Hopedale Community where Wright was a resident but see note below. Date of composition is given as Jan. 24 1848 at close of text; this pamphlet was likely printed soon after that date as Wright's sequel titled The Employers of Dick Crowninshield was composed in March of the same year and makes reference to the current work in its foreword. <br /> <br /> In typical Wright fashion a contrarian point of view - here radical non-resistance - is stretched to its logical limits by unflattering analogy. Wright the idiosyncratic radical abolitionist feminist pacifist freethinker and proto-anarchist compares Zachary Taylor's actions at the Battle of Monterey to nothing more than murder for hire building his analogy around the notorious 1830 murder of a Salem ship's-captain Joseph White by a paid assassin the Dick Crowninshield of the title. After laying out the details of each man's purported deeds including a quite lurid account of the Battle of Monterey Wright follows with a long list of "The Differences" between them concluding in the end that there is no difference in kind: ".The assassin killed a man whom he knew to be innocent; the soldier did the same.The assassin killed the innocent at the instigation of his employers; so did the soldier.The assasin entered into a contract with his employers voluntarily; so did the soldier." etc. In the end the only noteworthy difference is that "Zachary's deeds are said by the priests and churches to be God-approved and Christ-like; the assassin's are denounced by them as evil and only evil." <br /> <br /> At least three separate editions of the pamphlet were issued with priority likely as follows: 1 a Hopedale imprint issued with a full title page dated 1848 in which the title subject's name is misspelled "Crowningshield;" 2 the current edition undated issued with drop-title the subject's name corrected to "Crowninshield"; no imprint clearly from a different setting of type from the first - but based on close comparison with digital sources likely from the same font of type as the first hence our suggestion of Hopedale as the likely place of printing for this edition; 3 a stated Second Edition undated published in Edinburgh probably the same year. All editions are uncommon; 4 locations noted in OCLC for this edition. No copies traced in commerce. unknown

197261845Nyack NY: CONAME ca 1972. 5 manila envelopes 12"x9" with printed labels containing a total of 29 reprinted articles and 6 introductory sheets. All housed within large manila envelope 13"x9.5" labeled in manuscript. External envelope rubbed and worn with some dustsoil: Good only. Internal manila envelopes slightly rubbed with minor rust to metal closures; enclosed articles with mild foxing and browning one or two bent corners only gently rubbed: overall Very Good. <br /> <br /> An information packet distributed by the Committee On New Alternatives in the Middle East CONAME a pacifist organization founded in 1969 by a group of Jewish-Americans among them Noam Chomsky. Their aim was to pursue peace in the Middle East by promoting peaceful dialogue in the U.S. "Founding director Allan Solomonow described it as 'a forum and a resource for peace-seeking alternatives to the currently internecine status quo; we are the gadfly to the consciences of the resigned of the apathetic of those mired in propaganda and dogma.' To that end the organization's principal work was educational: disseminating articles touring speakers and organizing Middle East delegations to mitigate "the pervasive polarization of opinion that has characterized the Middle East crisis'". <br /> <br /> This is one of the informational packets CONAME assembled and distributed probably in 1972. It contains reprints of previously published articles dating from 1969-1972 organized in envelopes labeled as follows: <br /> <br /> 1. Who Are the Palestinians 6 articles<br /> 2. The Israeli Peace Movement 4<br /> 3. Israel's Arab Minority 5<br /> 4. Alternatives for Middle East Peace 9<br /> 5. In Search of Middle East Information 5<br /> <br /> Article authors include Edward Said Alan Dershowitz Ahmed Khalidi Atallah Mansour M. Cherif Bassiouni Nora Levin Edward Said Shlomo Avineri Amos Kenan Siach Amnon Rubinstein Israel Shahak and Sabri Jiryis. The packets also contain copies of a few periodicals e.g. New Outlook and The Middle East News Review. <br /> <br /> Though this example equivocates about possible resolutions to the conflict and prioritizes providing background information CONAME eventually advocated for Israeli-Palestianian dialogue and a two-state solution. The organization collaborated with other American pacifist organizations such as the Jewish Peace Fellowship War Resisters League Quaker Action Group and Women Strike for Peace. However after the founding of Breira and the Fellowship of Reconciliation CONAME's Executive Director and Assistant Director departed and the organization dissolved in 1975. See the article on CONAME on btvshalom. org the website for the Jewish Alliance for Justice & Peace. <br /> <br /> An ephemeral and uncommon survival; we have traced no similar examples. #61845.

184286607Newcastle & London: J. Barker / Charles Gilpin 1842. First Edition. First impression. Penny pamphlet 19cm x 12cm. Sewn self-wrappers; 24pp. Sewing perished; mild wear at corners; still complete and Very Good. Publisher's imprint printed vertically at bound edge of first page of text. <br /> <br /> A tract on pacifist non-resistance with strong anti-statist content - a clear presentation of the proto-anarchist Christianity of militant pacifist-abolitionists of the era of which Wright and Barker were exemplars. Wright 1797-1870 a defrocked Presbyterian minister would become one of the most radical American voices for abolitionism and pacifism in the years before the Civil War even being ejected from the American Anti-Slavery Society for espousing too radical an abolitionist viewpoint. Joseph Barker 1806-1875 a British controvertialist clergyman who like Wright had been rejected by his denomination was in many ways Wright's analogue in Great Britain espousing a militant interpretation of Christ's teachings that repudiated all entities that survived upon compulsion of their members - including enslavement marriage most religion and government itself. Barker would later relocate to the United States where he became a leader of the abolitionist cause in Ohio before returning to England just prior to the outbreak of the Civil War. The present pamphlet very scarce; not traced in commerce with only five physical holdings noted in OCLC. J. Barker / Charles Gilpin unknown

141955423London: Union of Democratic Control 1914-1921. Collection of 63 publications including 25 numbered pamphlets ca 12-32pp each and 38 leaflets 1-16pp each. Generally ca 20cm x 14cm with slight variations; printed paper wrappers. Variable light to moderate wear but complete Good or better overall. <br /> <br /> A comprehensive collection of materials published under the auspices of the Union of Democratic Control a British political advocacy group which sought during the years of the First World War and its aftermath to increase the role of democratic processes and parliamentary control in British government especially with regards to its foreign relations. During the Great War the UDC stopped short of outright pacifism; after 1918 the organization plotted a more intentionally anti-war course ultimately publishing its pacifist manifesto Arthur Ponsonby's Now is the Time in 1925 not included here. The Union's members included many of the most prominent liberal and labour politicians and intellectuals of the era including Arthur Ponsonby Bertrand Russell Norman Angell Ramsay MacDonald and others. Given the prominence of its members the Union exerted considerable influence on British foreign policy in the interwar period and though its influence waned steeply after the Thirties the Union survived well into the post-WW2 era finally dissolving in 1966. While UDC publications are not generically rare this is the largest collection of their publications we have encountered at one time offering a representative view of the group's political advocacy over its most active period.

183936794Boston: N. E. Non Resistant Society 1839. Newspaper. Very good. Newspaper. 4 pages. Complete. Approximately 11.75" x 17". Slightly irregular at the blank spine. <br /> <br /> Several articles and letters inside pertaining to "Consequences of War" with Great Britain and other similar pieces. This paper was also an anti-Slavery paper. <br /> <br /> From wikipedia: The New England Non-Resistance Society was an American peace group founded at a special peace convention organized by William Lloyd Garrison in Boston in September 1838.1 Leading up to the convention conservative members of the American Anti-Slavery Society and the American Peace Society expressed discomfort with Garrison's philosophy of "non-resistance" and inclusion of women in public political activities. After conservative attendees opposing Garrison walked out of the convention in protest those remaining formed the New England Non-Resistance Society.citation needed<br /> <br /> The Society condemned the use of force in resisting evil in war for the death penalty or in self-defense renounced allegiance to human government and because of the anti-slavery cause favored non-union with the American South.citation needed The New England Non-Resistance Society was one of the more radical of the many organizations founded by William Lloyd Garrison adopting a Declaration of Sentiments of which he was the principal author pledging themselves to deny the validity of social distinctions based on race nationality or gender"2 refusing obedience to human governments and opposing even individual acts of self-defense.3 In the Society's Declaration of Sentiments Garrison wrote "any person without distinction of sex or color who consents to the principles of this Constitution may become a member and be entitled to speak at its meetings."1 The Society rejected loyalty to any human government; one historian has described the Non-Resistance Society's "basic outlook as that of philosophical anarchism".45.

In-12 carré, broché, couverture grise imprimée rempliée, 48 p., exemplaire numéroté sur vélin d'Arches, non rogné. Rare plaquette publiée anonymement autour du procès de Frédéric Adler, jugé pour l'assassinat du Président du Conseil d'Autriche, le Comte Stürghk, en 1916. Publié anonymement l'ouvrage est attribué à Roger Lévy. Physicien proche d'Einstein, Friedrich Adler devint secrétaire du parti social-démocratique autrichien.
