Boswell Reverend J. I.ABAA

Greece. cover title

By Reverend William Greenleaf EliotABAA

Loyalty and Religion. A Discourse for the Times

1861009123St. Louis: George Knapp 1861. Wraps. Very good. Complete with 12 pages including the cover. See Sabin 2217. In nice shape with some light marginal toning Elliot preached this sermon on August 18 1862 shortly after eleven Southern states had seceded and while Missouri teetered between joining the Confederacy or remaining in the Union. Although Eliot was a moderate abolitionist and Union supporter he rarely if ever publicly announced his political opinions. Rather he preached generally about freedom religion and loyalty stressing community unity and encouraging his parishioners to refrain from quarreling an instead search for things upon which they had in common. He believed that the ever-increasing extreme political polarization over slavery was unhealthy for the community prevented any possibility of reaching a peaceful solution and could only spell disaster for the nation. However in this sermon Eliot makes clear that he is a Unionist and argues that citizens have a religious and patriotic duty to their nation that are one and the same. Although distressed by secession his optimism shines through: "But the time will come when the community of interest will again be acknowledged and we shall be yet again ONE NATION . . . and this great experiment of Republican Institutions now on trial will yet succeed." Eliot's efforts along with those of Nathaniel Lyon and Francis P. Blair tipped public sentiment in favor of the Union and the Missouri Ordinance of Secession proposed by Governor Claiborne Fox Jackson a southern sympathizer was never passed by a legally assembled quorum of state legislators. See Holt's William Greenleaf Eliot: Conservative Radical for more information. William Greenleaf Eliot was born in Massachusetts. After graduating from Harvard Divinity School in 1834 he moved to St. Louis where he founded the first Unitarian church west of the Mississippi the Church of the Messiah now the First Unitarian Church of St. Louis. Eliot was active in public life and instrumental in founding many civic institutions including the St. Louis Public Schools and the St. Louis Art Museum. A strong proponent of higher education he co-founded Washington University in 1853 which was initially named Eliot Seminary in his honor and he served as its chancellor from 1870-1887. He was the grandfather of the modernist poet T. S. Eliot. An important and rather scarce piece of Missouri's Civil War history. At time of listing no other examples are for sale in the trade and no auction records are found at ABPC or the Rare Book Hub. OCLC shows that the pamphlet is only held by nine libraries. <br/><br/> George Knapp paperback books

Cavo Padre Andres and Carlos Maria de Bustamante.ABAA

Los Tres Siglos de Mexico durante el Gobierno Espanol hasta la Entrada del Ejercito Trigarante .

18367554Mexico: Abadiano y Valdes 1836 - 38. First edition. 4 vols. 4to viii 281; 158; viii 419; viii 281 pp. Vols. 1-2 edited by Bustamante from the MS: Historia civil y politica de Mexico; vols. 3-4 constitute the editor's supplement. The work is ofrten bound in two volumes but here we have it in four. Cavo was a Jesuit a native of Mexico and expelled from the country along with the others of his order in 1767. Although he made a great effort to return to Mexico later in his life dissociating himself from the Jesuits and travelling to Spain to do so but he did not succeed. The rest of his life was spent in Rome where he died in great poverty in 1803. Beristain de Souza has almost nothing to say about him as his work was not discovered until the 1830's when Bustamante ran across the manuscript in a private episcopal library and theeafter took charge of having it published with his additions.The first two books are Cavo's up to the expulsion and despite the title is a history of viceregal Mexico City.Wikipedia says: "The work is not a history in the usual sense. It is better described as the annals of Mexico City with particular emphasis on the development of political ideas. The book also contains details of colonial life that are not available in any other source. Cavo shows signs of Mexican not Spanish colonial nationality and for this reason is considered a forerunner of Mexican independence. Porrua Diccionario states that his was the first history of Viceregal Mexico. The last two volumes are by Bustamante himself an important Mexican historian after independence associated with the liberal party and they are a continuation up to 1821 being of a broader scope and containing some important documents also not published before. Bound in contemporary calf leather over speckled boards titles and fillets in gilt on spines. Very good set. <br/><br/> Abadiano y Valdes hardcover books
