Uncommon wrappered issue of this significant debate between two 19th century Baptist leaders over the Bible's teachings on slavery which went through at least four subsequent editions between 1847-1860. "The chapters were originally letters published in a Baptist newspaper in Boston Massachusetts. Southern pastor Richard Fuller and Northern educator Francis Wayland were each able defenders of their respective positions. These men were also good friends who believed that a difference of opinion about slavery should not necessiatate a breaking of Christian fellowship. Unfortunately these two Baptist leaders proved naive in this regard. Just weeks after the publication of the correspondence in book form Fuller's Southern Baptist Convention broke away from the larger Baptist denomination and formed a new ecclesiastical body. A number of issues factored into the division though the slavery debate was what ultimately led to the creation of a separate Baptist denomination in the South" from the Mercer University Press edition 2008.

Throughout the late 18th and early 19th-centuries an increasingly vocal anti-slavery sentiment rippled through both sides of the Atlantic. Authors who published anti-slavery works - hymns poems and anecdotes - believed that by arousing the feelings of human fellowship they could win the argument for racial equality.

182719400Mount Vernon Alabama April 20 '27 i.e. 1827. Separating at spots along old folds; some staining browning and light soiling; in good condition legible. One page on a lined bifolium 9.75 x 7.75 inches approx. 250 words. A prelude to flush times in Alabama and representative bit of evidence of the growth of the internal slave trade from the soon-to-be commander of the Mount Vernon Arsenal authorized by Congress in May 1828. Harding appears to have had roots in Montgomery County Maryland; this letter includes references to inheritance complications and to Maria's recent misfortunes: "I recd. a letter some days ago from Mr. R. Burdine communicating the disturbing intelligence at the loss of yr. house & effects by fire and by this days post I enclose here a draft on the Bank of the Metropolis for $100 for yr. benefit. ñ this amount althoà small is all I can well afford ñ I have four children to educate who are at very expensive schools and their Mother is now abroad in Pennsylvania superintending their education. . . . I think those who have surreptitiously obtained possession of your Grandfathers property ought to contribute liberally to yr. relief. ñ From that estate you know I have nothing but 5 Negroes the land left me by my father and which I shall ever believe my children were swindled out of. I have long since abandoned the idea of ever being able to recover." Harding notes further "I suppose you are aware my brother H. purchased for me last fall Old Sall and her daughter who joined me in December last. They with the rest of the Negroes are around me & doing well." Maria Queen appears in public records petitioning for compensation in May 1862 for the emancipation of the enslaved Ellen Hanson freed under the Washington D. C. compensated emancipation act: "Said Ellen was given to Me at the age of Ten years by My Grand father Edward Harding of Montgomery County Md Said Ellen has been in my immediate service ever since." Franked by Harding as the postmaster of Mount Vernon. With a preliminary transcript. April 20, '27, [i.e.,] unknown books

Fragile sheep rubbed but sound; some light foxing and spotting; front joint just a trifle tender; a good sound copy of a moderately crude American book. Small 8vo original sheep red leather label gilt lettering 219 1 pages. An eccentric book-length poem from Elder Joseph Thomas 1791-1835 the wide-ranging charismatic North Carolina itinerant preacher known as the White Pilgrim for his habit of attiring himself in white apparel in all seasons and climes. Thomas includes a fairly lengthy and graphic section here leveled against slavery and its e suggesting those who endorse slavery might "Let them be bound and torn away / From wives and friends to Africa. / Let them be starv'd and beat one year / Then say 'tis right I'll say 'tis queer; / Or whip their wives before their eye-- / Is that all right O no they cry." Thomas also suggests abstaining from the product of slave labor "In sugar works where Negroes toil / A leg and arm they often boil; / They grind them up and mix the sweet / Of all that luxury we eat. / O temp'rate man use not that food / That's stain'd or mix'd with negro blood! / That taste luxur'ous now forego / Which causes human gore to flow." Stoddard & Whitesell 1148; Sabin 63639. Early ink autograph ownership signatures to the front free endpaper and to a rear blank and endpapers. Small tear from the lower margin of one leaf with loss of a few letters but no loss of sense. J. Foster, Printer, unknown books
185519759N. p.: Jan. 4th 1855. Autograph address in ink on an unbound fascicle of 15 folia 30 leaves stitched. These arguments it is believed fairly prove that a man can be at the same time both a slave-holder and a Christian or stated in the abstract that the particular relation of superior & inferior known as slavery is not in itself necessarily sinful." An extensive detailed legal and ethical apology for American slavery arguing that a reciprocal relationship exists between the enslaver and the slave; the speak tentatively argues that Congress does have power to regulate slavery in the territories and had words against the doctrine of Popular Sovereignty. The anonymity of this argument and the popular setting of the lyceum stage perhaps as a student production seems altogether fitting as a reflection of the widespread currency of legalistic equivocation over chattel slavery in America prior to the Civil War. With revisions and interpolations and corrections to the text throughout. Jan. 4th, books

In-8 (220 x143 mm), broché sous couture, 32 p., non rogné. Edition grenobloise à la date de l’originale parisienne. Important texte théorique lu le 26 septembre 1791, par l’abbé Grégoire, devant la Société des amis de la Constitution qu’il présidait et qui deviendra le club des Jacobins. Alors que l’Assemblée constituante se séparait pour faire place à la Législative, Grégoire analyse avec sévérité les travaux de l’Assemblée durant sa session de vingt-neuf mois et en appelle à un nouvel élan révolutionnaire. Il revient sur la question de l’inviolabilité du roi et s’interroge sur la validité des institutions, notamment le régime monarchique. D’importantes pages sont consacrées à la question de l’esclavage dans lesquels Grégoire constate l’échec de ses tentatives abolitionnistes et attaque violemment le lobby pro esclavagiste ainsi que les colons blancs des îles. WorldCat ne recense qu’un unique exemplaire de cette édition grenobloise dans le monde. Quelques piqûres éparses. Bon exemplaire, non rogné, tel que paru.
