17329N.p. Printed portrait on thin coated paper 19cm x 12cm. Tipped in to folding card portrait case. Inscribed beneath image: "Study Art 1 Sec 8 Clause 5 of the Constitution of the U.S. and help to abolish interest / Yours truly / Jacob S. Coxey Sr." undated but likely dating from the period of Coxey's unsuccessful 1932 Presidential run as the candidate of the Farmer-Labor Party. Jacob S. Coxey Sr. 1854-1951; aka "General" Coxey was among the most colorful agitators of the early labor movement. He gained the sobriquet "General" when in 1894 he led a group of 400 unemployed laborers popularly known as "Coxey's Army" from Massillon Ohio to Washington DC. to demand unemployment benefits for all laid-off workers. The march did little to alter public policy but gained Coxey nationwide celebrity propelling him into a long series of highly public but unsuccessful political candidacies over the next 50 years though he did succeed in getting elected to the post of Mayor of Massillon Ohio in 1931. unknown books
1850587New Hampshire 1850. 75 x 160 mm. 3 x 6 ¼ inches. Pencil sketch on blue paper.  Includes small envelope 3 x 4 ½ inches with notation. Previous folds. Light browning at folds. Small pencil sketch of a girl in a bonnet and a man who appears to be an itinerant with patched clothes and a liquor bottle in his hand. A note on the envelope accompanying the sketch and entitled in faint pencil "N.H. Portrait Painter" is signed by E.S. Eaton who writes:  "Enclosed is a drawing made by Mr. J. Bailey Moore upon a stray slip of paper as he sat making a call at our home. I a little girl was greatly pleased and have kept and been pleased with it ever since. I remember that my dear Mother was amused at the two funny figures. E.S. Eaton". Jacob Bailey Moore was born in Candia New Hampshire in 1815 and died there in 1893. For a brief time he worked in Boston before returning to New Hampshire. During his career he spent brief stints as a journalist and as a phrenologist as well as an itinerant artist. Moore is closely identified as a member of the "Prior-Hamblen" group of early 19th portrait artists. This group's work closely follows that of William Matthew Prior 1806 -73 and Sturtevant J. Hamblen 1837-56. Their portraits have been characterized as "very flat posterlike" and were painted in oils or gouache on a variety of backings including cardboard academy board or canvas. Numerous works signed by Prior have been identified as have a few signed by Hamblen. Signed works by other members of the "Prior-Hamblen" group are quite rare. Those known to have been painted by Jacob Bailey Moore feature a flat style almost identical to that of Prior. The writer may be Ellen S. Eaton who lived in Candia on a farm with her parents Henry M. and Eliza Parker Eaton. She was born in 1846 became a school teacher and appears to have never married. Ellen's father Henry M. Eaton was selectman a number of years town clerk a representative to the state legislature two years and also town agent. He was also Captain of Candia Light Infantry. He was married a second time to Hannah G. Lane who died in 1892.  Appleton. Cyclopedia of American Biography IV pp. 380-1. Allibone's Critical Dictionary of English Literature and English and American Authors. II p. 1352. J.

Born of poor parents in Goerlitz Germany as a boy he tended cattle later becoming a shoemaker marrying & fathering 4 children. Boehme at the robust age of 37 in 1612 wrote his first treatise Aurora oder Die Morgenroete in Aufgang. In 1613 an unauthorized copy of the manuscript was copied and circulated by Karl von Ender. Its reception "raised him out of his homely sphere and made him the centre of a local circle of liberal thinkers considerably above him in station and culture." However the local pastor primarius of Gorlitz Gregorius Richter leveled a charge of heresy. The local muncipal council administered an admonishment to no further "meddle in such matters." This charge Boehme publicly followed for 5 years. In 1618 Boehme again started writing expository & polemical treatises. The majority of his works were written though not formally published from 1619 - 1624. A second major work Der Weg zu Christo was published in 1624 and signaled a renewal of clerical hostility. Boehem however was destined to suffer but a short period of this second persecution; he died of an illness on 17 November 1624. Boehme has been said to have a "fertility of ideas" and a "trasncendent greatness of religious insight." Boehme was studied by Sir Isaac Newton and influenced the work Henry More as well as and especially William Law 1686 - 1761. Xl Questions concerning the Soule was translated by the English mystic John Sparrow in collaboration with John Ellstone & financed by Humphrey Blunden. This the first of several works by Boehme that Sparrow & Ellstone were to translate into English between 1644 - 1662. Boehme proved to be highly popular in England where there were regular societies of Behmenists at the time. This work XL Questions went into a second edition in 1648 and a third edition in 1665. 11th EB. A scarce title in the Boehme canon. We find no copies currently offered via the major on-line databases OCLC records but 4 institional cc and the work has only appeared at auction 3 times in the last 25 years the last in 1989.
