During the Revolutionary War he served as scribe of the State Convention of the Clergy. Like some of his other sermons this is a somewhat scarce title however he did publish a number of sermons between 1764-1798. This is also appears to be an unusual copy as both Evans and Sabin indicate 39 pages in their listing but this copy has only 30. However the sermon winds down on page 30 and The End is clearly indicated on the bottom of the page. Unclear if there were any subsequent additional pages which would account for the difference.

195229272Roccasinibalda Italia: Caresse Crosby n.d. ca. 1952-1954. First Edition. Octavo broadside 21cm.; Fine. Text entirely in Italian. Manifesto of the pacifist Citizens of the World movement which Caresse Crosby founder of the Black Sun Press established shortly after the end of World War II. This flyer presumably issued after her and the movement's expulsion from Greece where she had initially attempted to set up headquarters. The Greek government gave the reason that the movement was "conceived and initaited by aliens yet tending toward the creation of a super-national organization which may exercise international political influence" cf. Linda Hamalian The Cramoisy Queen: A Life of Caresse Crosby 2009 p. 169. The imprint at the bottom is of Crosby's 16th-century castle Roccasinibalda located in the Province of Rieti which she purchased ca. 1952. There is a chance this came prior to Crosby's expulsion from Greece however; the text mentions the movement's taking inspiration "dall'Umanesimo Greco" and a Greek language Manifesto was also published about the same time. A scarce item: OCLC locates 3 copies as of March 2016 at NYU Indiana U. and Brown. Caresse Crosby unknown books
185928994Columbus Ohio 1859. Caption title as issued. 16pp untrimmed. Margin-foxing Good.<br/><br/> The occasion was a celebration of German Democrats "whose thrifty and pleasant homes are mostly in the Fifth Ward." In this scarce pamphlet Cox lauds the German opposition to tyranny their love of "Constitutional government and law;" and their distrust of anarchy and disorder expressed in those annoying "Woman Rights Free Love and Abolition Conventions." Most recently such destructive "egotistical faith" has shown itself in the John Brown Invasion and in the doctrines of the Republican Party. "When Brown shoots down the citizens at the Armory he appeals to the God of the oppressed as his judge and all the Ismatics of New England and Ohio applaud the murderer as a martyr." And when Republicans deny the right of territories to decide whether to permit slavery "they deny to majorities the right to rule." <br/>OCLC 34559434 3- OH Hist. Soc. U TX Hist. Soc. W.
