1909489831909. Yates Robert 1738-1801; Lansing John 1754-1829; Martin Luther; 1748-1826. Secret Proceedings and Debates of the Convention Assembled at Philadelphia in the year 1787 for the purpose of forming the constitution of the United States of America from the notes taken by the late Robert Yates Esq. Chief Justice of New-York and copied by John Lansing Jun. Esq. Late Chancellor of that state members of that convention including "The Genuine Information" laid before the Legislature of Maryland by Luther Martin Esq. then Attorney-General of that state and a member of the same convention also other historical documents relative to the Federal compact of the North American Union. Washington D.C.: United States Government Printing Office 1909. 208 pp. Ex-library with stamps. Cloth worn with gilt lettering. Internally clean. $75. Reprint of a work first published in Albany in 1821. Along with Alexander Hamilton and Jon Lansing Jr. Yates represented New York at the constitutional convention. Believing that the convention was exceeding its authority he left it and became a leading Anti- Federalist. Martin was a member of the committee that represented Maryland at the convention. "The Genuine Information" was on an important and widely circulated anti-federalist pamphlet. James Madison thought that Yates and Martin "appear to have reported in angry terms what they observed with jaundiced eyes." It must be added that Yates's notes were often more detailed than Madison's. "Luther Martin's Genuine Information is a general summary of the course of the Debates with a running criticism on each of the Constitution's articles.

15509King Jr. Dr. Martin Luther. Banner with a large illustrated bust at center and with the bold text "WE SHALL OVERCOME" along the top edge. A large original period banner measuring 12" x 15.5" with text and illustration of Dr. King in dark yellow on black felt with machine-sewn upper border inserted wood rod and stapled white tassels. This piece is a fine rare and well-preserved example celebrating the civil rights hero. It is the only example of this type we have ever offered. <br/><br/>The legacy left by King in the modern African American freedom struggle was to link black aspirations to transcendent widely shared democratic ideals. While helping grassroots leaders mobilize African Americans for sustained mass struggles he inspired participants to believe that their cause was just and consistent with traditional American egalitarian values. King also appealed to the consciences of all Americans thus building popular support for civil rights reform. unknown books
1606D15188Strassburg: Theodosium Rihel 1606. Hardcover. Good. Pocket-sized 12mo 130 x 75mm. Pagination: 4 CCLXII 8 ff. Signatures: inserted 2 leaves A-Y12 Z11 lacking final blank stub but inserted five leaves. Old German Type. Each page printed within an elaborate woodcut border of masks putti vessels birds animals and scrolling ornament. Seventeenth-century full vellum stamped in blind with central lozenge of crucifixion front cover and ornament back cover large remnants of leather ties; outer edges somewhat soiled and worn binding a bit rubbed otherwise an excellent survival for its prospective use. An early owner has added several leaves at the front and rear upon which are transcribed several additional psalms and biblical verses Psalm 34 Jeremiah 3 Jeremiah 30 John 1:1 Corinthians 1:10 John 1:2. Other markings @ 1606 in this same hand on the first inserted leaf at front. By this date in the inscriptions This psalm booklet Dises Psalmen Büchlein and a man Carlo from Strassburg may be making corrections at time of early press. A later date on this leaf is 1776 along with an unknown monogram or printers mark quite reminiscent of Theodosius Rihels fl. 1555-1608 printers mark but with different letters S & K. <br/><br/>During a critical period of time for the church Martin Luther saw the Psalms not only as the central model to Christian prayer but as a key biblical book that would spark a revival and lay the scriptural foundation for the Protestant movement. Luther said find in it the Psalter also yourself. as well as God himself and all creatures Luthers Works 35:257. The Psalms were an early focus of Luthers translations and teaching at the University of Wittenberg; there he first published an exposition of the seven penitential psalms in 1517. In a later work Luther classified the psalms by theme; they belonged to groups pertaining to prophecy instruction comfort prayer and thanksgiving. This pocket-sized psalm book hearkens to Luthers famous statement that the Psalms are the Bible in miniature. The psalms were a strategic book of the bible for a nascent Lutheran and the early owner of this book seemingly poured over it and added layers of extra verse and interpretation in the blank spaces of the book. Scarce edition. OCLC locates editions published by Rihel but this 1606 printing is not among those located. This copy unique for its early German annotations and biblical additions. We surmise they may be intrinsic to an early Lutheran community in Strasbourg or related to the Strasbourgian printers themselves. Theodosium Rihel hardcover books

17914Used; Like New/Used; Like New. Poster for a March 28 1966 appearance by the Civil Rights leader together with singer Harry Belafonte at the Palais des Sports in Paris. Organized by the Comité de Soutien Franco-Américain pour l'Intégration Raciale the event featured a speech by King and music from Harry Belafonte and French singer Hugues Aufray sponsored by Suze Liqueur. Two-color poster with folding creases one tear to the right edge minimal wear and toning; overall very good. Sight size 14.5 x 22.5 inches 37 x 57 cm archivally matted and framed to an overall size of 20.5 x 26.5 inches.<br style="">In March 1966 King and Belafonte went to Europe for fundraising appearances on behalf of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference starting with the Palais des Sports in Paris on the 28th and closing in Sweden on the 31st. This poster for the French appearance is emblazoned with the logo of a sponsor Suze Liqueur and also cites the French-American Committee for Racial Integration as the organizing body. The opening act for the evening was the popular French folksinger Hugues Aufray doing a set of Bob Dylan covers followed by a set by Belafonte. Dr. King closed out the evening with a speech on civil rights touching on the war in Vietnam and American support for South African apartheid. The tour raised more than $100000 but drew the wrath of the American ambassador to France for airing American problems overseas. See Ross Hollywood Left and Right p. 220.

1972List916N.P. 1972. . Poster measuring 14 x 22 inches. Some marks a closed tear with tape repair edgewear and creasing very good minus overall. Very Good. After John Conyers' efforts to create a national holiday honoring Martin Luther King Jr. failed in congress days following his assassination the first celebrations of Martin Luther King's birthday began in 1969 when the newly created King Center led by Coretta Scott King organized events in King's honor on his birthday of January 15th. Observations of King's birthday followed in each subsequent year with the SCLC collecting three million signatures in support of a national holiday in 1971. Despite these efforts no bill honoring King would be signed into law until 1973 in Illinois. Offered here is a poster from one of these early celebrations in 1972. We can find no record of the artist - a J.L. - or similar surviving examples of this poster. unknown books

16099Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Important and rare Civil Rights document from the original files of the SCLC the Civil Rights organization King founded after the Montgomery Bus Boycotts. First Edition. Dated October 30 1967 the day of King's return to Birmingham the locus of one of his most triumphant campaigns and also where his volunteers endured some of the greatest persecution. 4 mimeograph pages stapled upper left. 8.5" x 11" inches. After 4 years of court battles King must turn himself over to Birmingham authorities to serve a jail sentence resulting from violating an illegal injunction during his 1963 non-violent demonstrations"We depart for jail in Birmingham convinced that our imprisonment is a small price to pay for the historic achievement which directly flowed from the convictions on the streets of Birmingham." One copy of this statement is held by the archives of the King Center; and no other copies among institutional holdings or auction records. <br/><br/>In this moving speech King reminds his followers how Birmingham in 1963 united the Civil Rights Movement "We recall with pride how thousands of Negro citizens facing dogs fire hoses mass arrests and other outrages against human dignity bore dramatic witness to the evils which pervaded the most segregated city in our nation. History has since recorded how these non-violent demonstrators led to the enactment of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 legislation which finally brought the end of legal segregation." Birmingham in 1967 now brings the opportunity to make them aware of a new foe the "X-party injunction sic--meaning ex parte injunction used by hostile local courts to frustrate and silence the vital First Amendment rights of all citizens." But while the battle for civil rights had found its way to the courtroom it was still very much in the streets as well "We are witnessing an escalating disregard for constitutional freedom. In the last two weeks U.S. Marshals state troopers and local police have clubbed demonstrators in Washington Berkeley and Madison Wis.; police have dragged girls by the hair in Brooklyn Tear gas has scattered and routed protestors in Washington Berkeley and Oberlin Ohio and even the odious fire hoses of Bull Connor were callously deployed against college students at Oberlin. Student arrests in this short period are beginning to reach levels unknown in this country since Selma." As King presents himself to Birmingham authorities he reminds his followers of the true meaning of civil disobedience "we will not appeal nor will we seek to flee the punishment. It is the heart of civil disobedience that one accepts the consequences willingly and openly." And through his sacrifice King reminds them that they too may be called as brave soldiers to the cause "As we leave for Birmingham Jail today we call out to America: "Take heed. Do not allow the Bill or sic Rights to become a prisoner of war." <br/><br/>Period sources state King handwrote his speeches before handing them off to aides who would type a clean copy then mimeograph them for the press typically in a run of about 200 copies. Most if not all were distributed to the press and then lost. Today the only other original copy of this document is in the collection of the King Center. Like those in the King Center this document escaped destruction because it were never distributed but rather remained as the personal copy of King or his top staffers. This can be proven by the fact that all press copies were carefully inscribed with a copyright symbol © while King's copy brought with him to the podium and other internal copies remained blank. This press release spent decades in an SCLC filing cabinet where it was exposed to dampening on the left side but is otherwise untouched. It now presents in only fair condition with water staining and rust around the original staple which is still holding. Mark from previous paper-clipping upper left. Light grey water stains to left side of document and bottom left corner frayed. All text legible. The right side of the document was apparently more protected in its file and is in very good condition. It was gifted from the Estate of Thomas Offenburger to Stoney Cooks. Both Offenburger and Cooks worked with King at the SCLC with Offenburger as publicist and Cooks as a young Director of Student Affairs. King's return to Birmingham is a stunning moment in Civil Rights history preserved through this historic document. unknown books
