186014411New-York John A. Gray Printer 1860. First edition. Some foxing; a couple of small spots of light staining; a very good copy. 16mo original printed self-wrappers 29 pages. In the wake of John Brown's Harpers Ferry raid long-time abolitionist Gerrit Smith who had been one of the covert backers of the raid--the "Secret Six" was evidently so horrified once he realized the scope of the violence the raid unleashed that he had a breakdown and entered an asylum. Smith returned from his insensibility to find that--perhaps not surprisingly--some northern Democrats had published attacks on his links to the raid. Smith responded by suing for libel and this pamphlet reproduces correspondence between his son-in-law Charles D. Miller and the subjects of the suit with extracts from Smith's writings and abolitionist polemics. Sabin 82609; LCP Afro-Americana 9498. John A. Gray, Printer unknown books

There has not been any previous collection of relevant ancient sources in a form suitable for students or specialists in disciplines such as Modern or Social and Economic History unfamiliar with the classical languages - indeed, there does not even exist such a collection for specialists in Classics. -- This selection provides readers interested in ancient slavery with translations in contemporary English of those major texts from Greek and Latin literature to which modern scholarship constantly refers, as well as a small sample of the epigraphical and other non-literary material. -- Cross-references, Bibliography, and a detailed Index are provided to make it particularly suitable for use by School and University classes. Although it is intended as a supplement and not a substitute for a systematic treatment of the subject, and the author s interpretative comment is kept to a minimum, the material is arranged with introductions bringing out the significance of each of the chosen passages. 283p, map incdex Book

15101This rare pamphlet "Act No. XIX of 1929 Passed by the Indian Legislature.An Act to Restrain the Solemnisation of Child Marriages" was a critical step in protecting girls. No other copies in OCLC Worldcat<br/><br/>Child marriage was historically prevalent in India where the International Center for Research on Women reported that 47% of Indian weddings in the early 20th century involved brides under the age of 18. Poverty was a driving factor in child marriage as families in financial straits could improve their economic standing by marrying their daughters to wealthier older men. Yet as other countries began making improvements for women and girls India too recognized the dangers inherent to girls' health and well-being when they were married and became mothers while still in their own childhoods. This pamphlet which is the only known copy according to OCLC Worldcat details the "punishment for male adult below twenty one years of age marrying a child punishment for male adults over twenty one years of age marrying a child and punishment for solemnizing a child marriage." While child marriage does persist in India its rates have gone down and modern India has joined the South Asian Initiative to End Violence Against Children SAIEVAC which adopted a regional action plan to enforce the marriage bans and end child marriage in and beyond its own borders. unknown books

Forster as Past-President and dozens of Vice-Presidents in left-hand margin including Aldous Huxley A. A. Milne J. B. Priestley H. G. Wells and Rebecca West.

In sending a copy of its monthly journal 'the Council makes an appeal not only because it stands for all those things upon which we as a free people pride ourselves but also because it is a live energetic body and shows practical results'. There is a reference to 'these critical days' and the letter ends by stating that 'it is in your interest to use its services and to see that it is strong and efficient to protect your liberties'. 23 November 1939.
