1809181771London: for R. Bowyer by T. Bensley 1809. Slave-trade abolition as a triumph of the liberal nation and empire First edition published to celebrate the 1807 abolition of the slave trade within the British Empire comprising three long poems: Montgomery's "The West Indies" Grahame's "Africa Delivered" and Benger's "A Poem Occasioned by the Abolition of the Slave Trade". "James Montgomery James Grahame and E. Benger rejoiced in slave-trade abolition as a triumph of the liberal nation and empire in Poems on the Abolition of the Slave Trade 1809. The book was intended to 'popularly commemorate' the 'illustrious act of the British Legislature' as the printer's advertisement announced. The abolition bill had 'vindicated our religion and our laws'. Not only was it evidence of 'the dignity of the British Empire' but it had also 'extended its influence to the. universal interest of mankind'. Dedicated to the 'Society for Bettering the Condition of the Natives of Africa' the compilation of poems celebrated the spread of Britannia's liberty to desperate Africa. The book stressed how civilized Britannia had saved heathen Africa by ending the slave trade venerating an Anglo-American pantheon of white abolitionists and downplaying the continued horrors of West Indian plantation slavery. Indeed the compilation celebrated the end of the trade as if it were the end of slavery itself" Gibbs p. 95. The engravings after paintings by Smirke include now well-known images. Smirke had made his reputation with his Shakespearean illustrations - in contemporary sales his art was out-priced only by Reynolds - but George III refused to accept him as keeper of the Royal Academy in 1804 on account of his democratic principles.

192447988Dublin. 1924. Loose as issued. 2 issues. Large folio. 448 x 288 mm. Printed text recto and verso in English and German in columns throughout large monochrome woodcut illustration by Cecil Salkeld to each issue. The rare short-lived and suppressed Irish literary periodical 'TO-MORROW' with the first appearance of Yeats' 'Leda and the Swan'.Edited by Cecil Salkeld and Henry Stuart 'TO-MORROW' despite its optimistic and future-looking title and the solicitation for content and subscription announcements saw only two issues in 1924 for August and September. The editors had however secured contributions a poem 'TO-MORROW' saw the first publication of 'Leda and the Swan' and an anonymous editorial from Nobel Laureate W. B. Yeats Liam O'Flaherty and Lennox Robinson as well as many others see below and aimed to publish a forum for new Irish poetry and prose that was inclusive and expansive. Unfortunately 'TO-MORROW' was also controversial and was suppressed despite the support of Yeats and others; not only did 'TO-MORROW' fail to invigorate Irish art and bring about a free Irish Renaissance it helped usher in a climate of further repression supression and censorship.The first issue included prose works such as O'Flaherty's 'A Red Petticoat' Robinson's 'The Madonna of Slieve Dun' Salkeld's 'The Principles of Painting' Margaret Barrington's 'Colour' and L. K. Emery's manifesto-like 'A Primitive'. Yeats' 'Leda and the Swan' led the poetry section that also included work by Charlotte Arthur F. R. Higgins Joseph Campbell and R. N. D. Wilson. A sonnet in German by O. F. Fleck was also published.The second issue was in similar format a mixture of prose and poetry opening with Arthur Symons' appreciation of Honoré Daumier featuring the conclusion of Salkeld's 'The Principles of Painting' as well as 'The Poplar Road' by Iseult Stuart H. Stuart's 'In the Hour Before Dawn' 'The Garden' by Sachka and 'The Tendencies of the Younger Irish Poetry' by L. K. Emery. Poetry included further contributions from Charlotte Arthur R. N. D. Wilson and F. R. Higgins as well as a poem by Blanaid Salkeld. O. F. FLeck contributed another poem 'An P'. Each issue included a large woodcut by Cecil Salkeld.'In August 1924 a small literary magazine To-Morrow went on sale in Dublin. As its title implies the magazine's editors Francis Stuart and Cecil Salkeld were buoyed with optimism. They hoped for a new cultural movement in the arts that would parallel its development and in turn influence the newly founded Irish Free State.' Bernard McKenna.'My dream is a wild paper of the young which will make enemies everywhere and suffer suppression I hope a number of times with the logical assertion with all fitting deductions of the immortality of the soul.' Yeats writing to Olivia Shakespeare.'TO-MORROW' is necessarily fragile and the present copy has been folded in half with ensuing wear. The first issue does have small areas of discolouration and slight separation along the fold but is otherwise good; the second issue is in good condition.see Bernard McKenna's 'Yeats 'Leda' and the Aesthetics of To-Morrow: 'The Immortality of the Soul' in Vol. 13 No. 2 of the 'New Hibernia Review' 2009. unknown
