46400295, Londres, chez David Fowler, de l'Imprimerie de J. Cooper, 1791; in-12, plein maroquin rouge, guirlandes dor., dos orné, tranches dorées. (Reliure de l'époque). 286 pp., 1 f. errata. EDITION ORIGINALE et seule parue. A la fin du volume l'éditeur Fowler annonce une édition en anglais de l'ouvrage "actuellement sous presse". Elle ne semble point avoir paru. Le Catal. de la British Library (cote 527 h.26) ne mentionne que l'édition en français. L'éditeur précise que l'ouvrage fut composé plusieurs années avant la Révolution française "il allait paraître lorsqu'elle survint. J'en suspendis alors l'impression afin de voir quelle tournure ce grand événement prendrait et quelles facilités il en résulterait pour l'introduction d'un pareil ouvrage dans un pays où autrefois il eut été proscrit et brûlé. Je fus si frappé des sages décrets de l'Assemblée Nationale Conformes aux vœux formés dans cet opuscule…". Nous n'avons trouvé aucun renseignement sur l'auteur, un certain Poopds, un Quaker familier de la langue française. En confiant son manuscrit à l'éditeur peu avant son décès, l'auteur a exigé le secret sur son nom. Violent pamphlet, inspiré par la philosophie des Lumières, contre les préjugés catholiques, la superstition, l'imposture des prêtres, le fanatisme et la répression préjugés des intolérants, paganisme des prêtres, commémoration du fanatisme pour la Terre Sainte, la Bible n'est pas un livre divin, miracles supposés, moines dangereux, réfutation de quelques erreurs de Locke, conseils pour un prince éclairé, etc. Ce livre est très rare. Très bel exemplaire en maroquin de l'époque.
22684Philadelphia: Printed by John Richards No. 130 North Third Street. 1839. The full title is: 'An Address to the Quarterly Monthly and Preparative Meetings and the Members thereof composing the Yearly Meeting of Friends held in Philadelphia By the Committee appointed at the late Yearly Meeting to have charge of the Subject of Slavery.' 12pp 12mo. Pamphlet in original plain brown wraps. In good condition lightly aged and worn. Begins with two pages of extracts from the minutes 17 May 1839 regarding the setting up of the committee on 'the deeply interesting subject of Slavery' with reference to 'Benjamin Price Jr. Clerk' and 'Deborah F. Wharton Clerk.' The address itself 'Signed by direction and on behalf of the Committee by John Jackson Clerk' is eight pages long. Towards the beginning it notes that 'Many of our forefathers were slave-holders and the unrighteous practice of holding our fellow-creatures in bondage was not then forbidden by our discipline.' The change of policy is described with reference to 'Anthony Benezet and John Woolman'. Later the address notes: 'The advancement of this righteous concern and the increase of light upon the subject of human rights are causing this system of iniquity to totter to its base. Hence under the influence of fearful excitement many are putting forth their strength to impede the progress of principles which if ultimately triumphant will break the fetters of the slave. A part of the trading interests at the North is evidently involved with those of the South and an influence is in this way exerted against the onward course of Emancipation; thus light and darkness antagonize each other.' And later still: 'Within a few years great events hae occurred in relation to Slavery and much light has been spread on the subject. The experience derived from Emancipation in the British West Indies has opened a new era. . while we have painful evidence that a great body of slave-holders are influenced by injustice and cruelty . There are many whose consciences are burdened by a system which they derived from their ancestors . the money of the slave-trader is temptingly held up before them; . they cannot separate the tender ties of family connexion among their slaves; they dare not receive the price of blood. . We believe they are fervently desiring the deliverance of master and slave from the bondage to which both are subjected. Their hearts have bounded with joy at the success of Emancipation in the British West Indies; it has opened a door of hope thaty they also may be legally permitted to prove the advantage of requited labour over that which is extorted by the lash of the oppressor. .'.

180011885New York: Printed by Isaac Collins 1800. Hardcover. Very good. First edition. viii 141 pages. Evans 37474. Printed on heavy paper with one or two leaves bound between each of the chapters. According to a note following the introduction "The book is printed with blank pages for the purpose of making future additions which are to be inserted in the manner and in the page in which they will be directed to be placed by the yearly meeting. No other additions are to be made.". The present copy is annotated and corrected in various ways presumably by someone who attended this annual meeting. On the first free endpaper there is a contemporary annotation: "Abraham Barker Lives in Ohio Huron Co. Town of Brunson." On the blank leaf following p. 50 there is the note: " To the monthly Meeting of . . . Dear friend We the subscriber A B son of . . . . do propose taking each other in marriage between us which we submit to your approbation then dated AB / CJ"; the inscription is somewhat illegible owing to some soiling; however it follows the chapter on "Marriages" and reproduces in part the "Form of Marriage Certificate" that appears on p. 49. In the next chapter "Removals and Certificates" at the top of the page the following annotation is added: "it shall be the duty of such monthly Meeting to accept the same unless there be some manifest objections." On p. 123 in the chapter "Queries" the following annotation appears at the bottom of the page: "B. Are the answers to the Queries introduced to the Quarterly and Yearly Meetings the substance of and founded on the answers from the prepositive Meetings." On the preceding page three lines of text have been x'ed out and an "a" has been inserted before the word "priest" in the second line from the bottom and the words "or magistrate" have been crossed through. And on p. 124 the last page of this chapter the entire ten lines of text have been crossed out. Similar crossings have been made to the chapter "Meetings of Ministers and Elders". <br /> <br /> It would appear that these annotations and corrections were made by one of those attending the Meeting in New York presumably perhaps Abraham Barker. The chapters in the book cover the following topics which however do not appear in the order given in the Table of Contents: Appeals Apprentices Books Burials Certificates Civil government Children Dealing with offenders Differences and Arbitrations Diversions Defamation and detraction Days and times Distilled spirits &c. Donations Elders Gaming Meetings for worship for discipline of ministers and elders for sufferings; Ministry Meeting-houses and ground Marriages Memorials Overseers Oaths Poor Plainness Priests wages or hireling ministry Queries Requests to be received into membership Removals Scandal publick Slavery Schools Sufferings Subscriptions Scriptures of the Old and New Testament Taverns Trade and commerce Women's meetings War Wills. In the short chapter on "Slavery" it is stated: "No friend is to import buy or sell negroes or other slaves; or hire any that are held in bondage; or wake any that are young or others by indenture or otherwise unless they are first set free. Any friend disregarding the advice above expressed after deliberate dealing with except satisfaction be given is to be disowned. . . ." The Meeting House on Pearl Street was established in 1795-96 but demolished in 1828. <br /> <br /> Light foxing but a very good copy of a rare publication very few locations known including AAS and Haverford College.
