[Antebellum South – Travel Narratives] Barnard, CalvinBiblio.com

A Letter Written from Augusta Georgia Describing the Author’s Voyage from Boston to Augusta Georgia in 1818

1818List2715Augusta Georgia 1818. Single letter three 9 x 16 inch pages letters with some tape repairs and stray holes at folds still quite legible. Very good. A letter written by Calvin Barnard to his friend Asa Holman of Bolton Massachusetts describing the formerâ€™s trip from Boston to Augusta South Carolina from November 25 to January 1. Barnard first traveled from Boston to Charleston South Carolina by boat from which he notes â€œalmost a continual gagging and vomitingâ€ from the passengers. In Charleston Barnard observes that the city is inelegant the unpaved streets â€œfilled with mudâ€ and views â€œthe breastworks which were thrown up during the last warâ€. This would have been the War of 1812 of which Barnard was likely a veteran. South Carolina had engaged upwards of 5000 soldiers and had put up defenses along the coastline in anticipation of the war but it did not come to the mainland â€“ although South Carolina was under naval blockade and the Sea Islands were targeted by the British. Barnard reaches Savannah Georgia on the 25th of December; similarly he finds it â€œalthough a place of considerable businessâ€ â€œabout as dissatisfactory a place I ever was in.â€ Augusta which he reaches by foot â€œis much handsomer built and situated than Savannah but not less dissipatedâ€ â€“ he remarks that â€œBeing the first day of the year is in this part of the country another great day for getting drunk.â€ After spending some time in Augusta he finishes the letter with some pointed observations about its residents: â€œI have had a better opportunity of becoming acquainted with the manners customs and dispositions of the citizens of Augusta . I shall not do them injustice by dividing them into three classes in which the Negroes are excepted. The first class of which are the gentry as they would expect to be called made up of men from all parts who have become rich here mostly by avaricious and unjust means . And this class we cannot expect to see drink more than once a week. The second is mostly the natives of this state and South Carolina who are men of a little property of a little education and very little of an honorable principle of any kind and these are not often seen drunk in the forenoon. The third class appears to me to be made up of the off-scouring of every bad place on earth for I never saw their equal for drunkenness lying stealing fighting swearing from morning till morning again. It is not possible that the continent of America has in any other place their equal. If it had I think the whole world soon be sunk.â€ He finds Augustaâ€™s African-American residents the only trustworthy ones despite local opinions: â€œIf any stealing is done here it is laid to the Negroes but I had my surtout a shirt and handkerchief stolen on Friday night last but have too good an opinion of the blacks to think they have them.â€ Of interest as an outsiderâ€™s views on the early Antebellum South and on drinking â€“ another pressing social issue of the day. unknown

18489627np 1848. 16pp disbound and stitched minor scattered spotting. Very Good. NUC attributes authorship to Adams identified here only as "a Whig of the Free States." He is appalled at his Party's impending nomination of Zachary Taylor for the presidency. Taylor a Louisiana slaveholder had never voted or participated in civil affairs. His military career most recently in the Mexican War which northern Whigs had generally opposed as an unconstitutional land-grab for slavery was his only public activity. "He is a Military Chieftain-- and he is a Slave owner and in favor of the Extension of Slavery over new territories." Webster deserves the nomination: "Let there be no wavering none of the contemptible expediency doctrine which leads men to declare in one breath that Mr. Webster is their first choice and to say the next moment that they are ready to vote for General Taylor."

Death Blow to Corrupt Doctrines. A Plain Statement of Facts

187052647Shanghai: NP 1870. First edition. Hardcover. g- to vg-. 1/500. Octavo. ix 64pp. Rebound in 3/4 green buckram over marbled paper boards. Missing the original blue printed wrappers as issued. This extremely rare work is an English translation of a collection of scandalous anti-missionary and anticlerical polemics and statements originally issued in Chinese and circulated throughout the previous centuries with the aim of rallying support against the growing Christian influence in the country. Although predominantly aimed at Catholics the texts here are anti-Christian in general. The work contains a number of odd and interesting Chinese perspectives on Christianity as well as opinions of the Pope and includes bizarre and detailed references to supposed sexual practices of the clergy and lay people p.10-11. The translator/publisher of the work is not named but has since been attributed to the influential American Presbyterian missionary and minister Calvin Wilson Mateer 1836-1908. As stated in the preface the idea of this publication in English was to expose westerners to the degree to which Christianity in China was treated with suspicion and hostility. The preface text is dated to August 18th 1870 in Tungchow now Penglai District Yantai Shandong Province China and is one of a number of telling aspects linking the work to Mateer who famously founded Tengchow College the predecessor to Shandong University and presided over the translation of the bible into Chinese Chinese Union Version. Texts translated in this publication are: "Extracts from the Amplified Instructions on the "Sacred Edict" originally issued by the Yongzheng Emperor in 1724 "Authorities Consulted" a list of outlawed Christian work to be banned with the inclusion of the original Chinese text "A Collection of Facts Respecting the False Religion of Tien-chu" "Miscellaneous Quotations" "Evidence from Public Records" "A Death Blow to False Doctrines" and "Petition from Human for the Expulsion of non-Human Species". Upon its publication this work caused such a scandal in China and within the international Christian community that according to late 19th century sources most of the original Chinese texts mentioned in this work as well as a majority of remaining copies of this work itself already limited in its publication were destroyed by mutual agreement of the Chinese authorities and the publisher. This fascinating work has largely been forgotten since the end of the 19th century. It is believed that no more than 100 copies of this text have survived from an original edition of only 500 copies. Text throughout in English with some occasional Chinese text. Ex-library binding with residue from a library sticker on the spine and covers. Spine with some rubbing abrasions and chips. Corners with some light rubbing and bumping. Covers with some light scratches and abrasions. Interior with some light sporadic water stains and age toning to pages. Library ink stamps and blind stamps on a few pages throughout including the interior covers and the title page. Interior back cover with library pocket pasted on. Page one with a repaired tear resulting in no loss of text. Gutters reinforced from the title page through the end of the preface section. Book block relatively tight overall. Wrappers in good- interior in very good- condition overall. Subtitle: "Published by the Gentry and People. Translated from the Chinese".
