19544307Philadelphia 1954. About very good. Thirty-five printed and typescript items approximately 150pp. total. Some staples old folds. Scattered contemporary ink stamps. Light toning and minor wear heavier in places. Scattered chipping and occasional short edge tears. A fascinating and scarce group of newsletters pamphlets and ephemera published by the American Friends Service Committee during and after World War II comprising thirty-five printed and typescript items. The Committee administered roughly one third of the camps in the Civilian Public Service system which was established to provide a means of non-military service to religious conscientious objectors during the war and also played a significant role in the anti-draft anti-conscription movement. The first group of material present here includes seven issues of the Civilian Public Service Friends Newsletter. These provide a detailed contemporary account of the overall state of the camps including camp populations incoming "campers" camp openings and closures and the financial situation. The newsletters also include news relating to the administration of the camps and developments regarding their operation and the activities of the interned objectors. Included as well are a promotional report issued on the two-year anniversary of the Service's inception and an elaborate four-page solicitation for donations to the CPS both also issued by the American Friends Service Committee. The issues of the newsletters present are: No. 5 October 30th 1942; No. 6 December 21 1942; No. 8 February 25 1943; No. 9 March 15 1943; No. 10 April 21 1943; No. 12 July 12 1943; No. 13 August 23 1943. A substantial run of a scarce and short-lived newsletter. We locate individually catalogued groups of these reports only at Bethel College and the University of Oregon and not in the Swarthmore Peace Collection.<br /> <br /> A second group of newsletters contains three issues of a weekly periodical Information and eleven issues of its monthly offshoot Information Digest dating December 1943 to July 1945 with two issues from later in 1946. These issues document the administration process of the CPS camps and contain reports on various facets of their operation including finances fundraising working and social conditions religious life and legal issues. Amongst these are reports on internal efforts and negotiations to fund the camps both within the Society of Friends and in partnership with other pacifist religious sects such as the Mennonites who were involved in camp operations. The December 2 1943 issue of Information for example contains a detailed narrative of the negotiation to fund the camps in 1944. The newsletters also contain a wealth of information on developments initiatives and daily life at the camps which include some particularly interesting reports on mental health among internees and on civil rights as the issue related to conscientious objectors but also to racial equality in the United States during the war era. OCLC locates holdings of this periodical at just a small handful of institutions.<br /> <br /> The third group of material comprises four scarce typed reports prepared and distributed by the AFSC during the war regarding the rights of conscientious objectors and their status. Three of the reports address the Selective Service Act and continued amendments thereto concentrating on the portions of the law that applied to religious objectors to military service and changes that affected objectors during the early years of the war. The first these issued in March 1942 first outlines the changes made to the draft law during December 1941 in the wake of the attack on Pearl Harbor and the declaration of war on the Axis powers and then provides an extensive step-by-step procedure for the application process to become a conscientious objector. Two further lengthy "memoranda" explain the rights of conscientious objectors as of December 1942 and March 1943 when each report was produced and gives advice for completing the objector application as well as for preparing supplementary documents and written statements. The other report in this group dated September 1941 gives an outline of the finances and disposition of the Civilian Public Service the system of labor camps for conscientious objectors on the eve of the war including lists of camps already in operation their capacities and statistical charts of objectors already registered and camp populations and assignments. These reports are quite striking as first-hand evidence of the role played by the Society of Friends administration in counseling their members to become conscientious objectors.<br /> <br /> Finally there is an interesting group of Quaker anti-conscription ephemera from World War II consisting of nine pamphlets that outline the pacifist views of the Society of Friends and the reasons behind them. The works go on to detail how these beliefs necessitate the Quakers' refusal to be conscripted into the American armed forces and defend this stance. Two pamphlets deal specifically with the opposition to peacetime conscription which became a political issue towards the end of the war. The individual titles are as follows:<br /> <br /> 1 "Why They Cannot Go to War." Philadelphia: American Friends Service Committee 1940.<br /> 2 "Why We Oppose Conscription." Philadelphia: American Friends Service Committee 1941.<br /> 3 "United States of America vs. Arle Brooks." Philadelphia: American Friends Service Committee 1941. Two copies.<br /> 4 Royden A. Maude.

171521205London 1715. 4pp. Printed in two columns. Disbound. Small folio. Early folds and early stab holes in left margin. Some foxing. One of Two Known Copies<br/> <br/> A rare and expansive appeal to Parliament against the 1715 bill to renew the Quakers' right to the "solemn affirmation" in place of the legal oath. In 1696 after experiencing decades of exclusion and imprisonment for conscientiously refusing to take loyalty and court oaths Quakers were granted the right by an act of Parliament to take a "solemn affirmation" in legal situations in place of an actual oath. In 1715 a bill was under consideration in Parliament to renew that act indefinitely. Significantly longer than most lobbying documents from this time this petition asks that Parliament only extend the act if the affirmation be made "of no Force where they are concern'd in Interest but where they only Affirm as Witnesses between others there being no Temptation for them to Lye when it brings no Profit to them." Many Quakers by this time had achieved significant prosperity in manufacturing and commerce adding fuel to their enemies' resentment. The author of this pamphlet charges various Friends with hypocrisy greed and swindling and reprints an earlier petition describing six widows of commanders of two "Guinea ships" allegedly defrauded by Quakers including one Quaker from Maryland. Not listed in Joseph Smith's Biblioteca Anti-Quakeriana or A Descriptive Catalogue of Friends' Books. ESTC records only one copy at Oxford. unknown

"Slaves have been abandoned and we must help. Don't we owe them for our prosperity--- enjoying indirectly from the unrequited labor of these people." <br /> <br /> Encyclopedia Virginia writes on their website- "In this report dated May 1864 the Committee on Colored Refugees who were representatives of the New York Yearly Meeting of Friends gives its assessment of the needs of the formerly enslaved people escaping behind Union lines and how Quaker charity efforts were meeting them in contraband camps across Virginia including Alexandria. One of their agents Harriet Jacobs wrote her own letter documenting what she saw in Alexandria and Washington D.C.

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. . . ."

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. .'.
