An account of the second year of the activities of the New England Freedmen's Aid Society NEFAS an activist group formed to assist emancipated Black Americans in may aspects of life especially with gaining academic and practical educations following the Civil War. The present work is especially important for the long section titled "Condition of the Freedmen" which occupies pages 11 to 51 about half of the total work. This section details the population state of education labor and industry opportunities general condition and more of free African Americans in several regions of the country namely the Military Department of the South Key West and the Tortugas Military Department of Virginia and North Carolina the District of Columbia the Mississippi Valley Middle Tennessee Western Arkansas and Louisiana. Interestingly a substantial subsection of the section on the Department of the South is devoted to a discussion of arable lands available to freed slaves around Beaufort and Port Royal known to modern audiences as "Forty Acres and a Mule." Regarding the land in this area the report states that "It was a matter of course that the lands should all be taken for those blacks who did not wish to turn cultivators were perfectly aware that they could sell their 40 acres for many times the government price."<br /> <br /> The organization was also notable for its mission specifically aimed at education and for the critical role women played in its work. "The New England Freedmen's Aid Society was founded in Boston in 1862 in response to an appeal.on behalf of 8000 formerly enslaved people at Port Royal SC. Originally named the Educational Commission its mission was to provide teachers and other aid for 'the industrial social intellectual moral and religious' advantage of freedmen" Massachusetts Historical Society. As was the case with many abolition and aid groups women were in the vanguard of the NEFAS. They recruited trained and even served as educators in the program. For much of the twentieth century if historians wrote about the first teachers among freed people at all they characterized them as foolish even dangerous women.who bore a heavy responsibility for the racial tension after the Civil War and whose work caused Southern educators to avoid Black education" The Freedmen's Teacher Project. Yet scholars in the 1960s and after -- particularly women and Black researchers -- have returned to the documents of the Society to uncover the serious and often intersectional work being done by both white and Black activists in Port Royal reframing "the freedmen's education movement as not primarily a gift of northern largess.but as autonomous actions of hundreds of Black communities across the South demanding access to literacy and numeracy" The Freedmen's Teacher Project. In this sense those "dangerous" women were troubling because they heard the call of Black peoples took their needs seriously and reacted accordingly. The movement was thus "largely Black-inspired abetted by female missionary teachers" whose shared goals were to prepare "former slaves for lives of freedom in a democratic America" The Freedmen's Teacher Project.<br /> <br /> The present Annual Report shows the early efforts of this Society including fundraising allocation of funds educational programs and educational gains and future goals. Included in the list of Officers are eleven white women in leadership roles; indeed women were the majority in the Committee on Teachers and the Committee on Clothing and Supplies. Among them are more well-known activists who appear in American Abolitionists and Antislavery Activists i.e. Ednah Cheney and Sarah Barrett Cabot who had raised her daughter to become a leader in the movement. Most however are lesser or unknown denoted largely by their husbands' names rather than their own. Even less visible but even more important were the unlisted Black women who were members of the group and contributors to the grassroots work. "Nearly one-fifth of the Northern teachers were Black.Black teachers were fifteen times more likely to give a few years of their lives to Southern Black education.the rest of the recruited teachers were native to the South; many had been enslaved while others were Southern free Black women and other men of color" The Freedmen's Teacher Project. The accomplishments in the report -- fundraising equipment educational gains -- can largely be attributed to their efforts.<br /> <br /> The report for the first year of the organization is exceedingly rare with only one example listed in OCLC; twelve copies of the present report appear in OCLC though no copies have appeared in modern auction records and no other copies are currently in trade. An important and scarce historical document preserving the accomplishments of a fairly short-lived intersectional activist group with vital reports on the activities of freed slaves throughout the southern part of the country.

RARE FIRST EDITION COMPLETE OF THIS IMPORTANT HISTORY OF ENGLAND FROM THE FIRST INVASION OF THE ROMANS PRESENTED IN HANDSOME CONTEMPORARY BINDINGS. John Lingard 5 February 1771 – 17 July 1851 was an English Roman Catholic priest and historian the author of The History of England From the First Invasion by the Romans to the Accession of Henry VIII an eight-volume work published in 1819. Lingard was a teacher at the English College at Douai and at the seminary at Crook Hall and later St. Cuthbert's College. In 1811 he retired to Hornby in Lancashire to continue work on his writing. <br> The principal object of his major work The History of England is to emphasise the disastrous effects of the Reformation. The book was later expanded by the author and the title changed to reflect the period covered. As each additional volume appeared the History's reputation increased while Lingard continued to revise and improve the whole work.<br> Lingard himself argued that one of his chief duties as an historian was: "to weigh with care the value of the authorities on which I rely and to watch with jealousy the secret workings of my own personal feelings and prepossessions. Such vigilance is a matter of necessity to every writer of history . Otherwise he will be continually tempted to make an unfair use of the privilege of the historian; he will sacrifice the interests of truth to the interests of party national or religious or political." J. Lingard "History of England" vol 1 6th edition London: Charles Dolman 1854 p. 6.<br> Lingard adopted a non-controversial and sober approach to history with the emphasis on incontrovertible fact and using primary rather than secondary sources. Lingard's History is also an apt demonstration of the advantages a Catholic historian of the time may have had in terms of impartiality. Lingard's religion had to a large extent isolated him from the mainstream nationalism which surrounded Protestant historians as well as from the growing "providentialist" concept of history. Lingard's strength of argument however continued to be popular and the influence of Protestant animosity for Catholic apologetic also led him to develop a keen critical judgment. He was devoted to absolute accuracy and detail and the History was a groundbreaking work in its use of primary sources. Lingard made extensive use of Vatican archives and French Italian Spanish and English dispatches document collections and state papers – the first British historian to do so. The peripheral nature of English Catholicism put him in a position of "outside observer" to much of English intellectual culture and this is reflected in his historical works. Despite this distancing effect however Lingard maintained an active interest in politics all his life and was a noted pamphleteer. <br> History of England is a substantial scholarly work which gave full treatment to the history of England. From 1811 until his death in 1851 Lingard spent most of his life in the village of Hornby near Lancaster where he devoted himself to his study and writing. A quiet gentle man he was well liked by the residents. Lingard's popularity as an historian had its day but his contribution to historical method came at a critical point in British intellectual history. Printed for J.

FIRST COMPLETE AND BEST EDITION. John Rushworth born c. 1612 died May 12 1690 was the English historian whose Historical Collections of Private Passages of State 7 vol. 1659–1701; 8 vol. 1721 covering the period from 1618 to 1649 continues to be a valuable source of information on events leading up to and during the English Civil Wars.<br> Rushworth studied law and in 1638 was made solicitor to the town of Berwick-upon-Tweed. He was enrolled at Lincoln’s Inn in 1640 and called to the bar in 1647. Rushworth was more interested in politics than in law and during the intermission of parliaments 1629–40 he attended and made shorthand notes of all important political and judicial proceedings heard before the Star Chamber the court of honour and the king and council. In 1640–42 he was assistant clerk to the House of Commons and after the outbreak of war he acted as a messenger between Parliament and its committees at Oxford and York. He himself published a number of the newssheets that preceded the establishment of regular newspapers—e.g. the daily London Post 1644–45; 1646–47 the Kingdomes Weekly Post 1643–1644—and also the parliamentary pamphlets opposed to the Royalist Mercurius Aulicus.<br> Following the execution of Charles I in 1649 Rushworth became personal secretary to Oliver Cromwell. He began drafting plans for the abolition of the monarchy and the House of Lords and the establishment of an English Republic under the leadership of Cromwell. As secretary 1645–50 to Sir Thomas Fairfax general of the New Model Army Rushworth had considerable importance and thereafter he was employed by the council of state and Parliament. When Cromwell became Lord Protector in 1653 Rushworth was promoted to Registrar of the Court of Admiralty. In 1657 he was elected Member of Parliament for Berwick in the Second Protectorate Parliament. As a member of the Cromwellian government he enjoyed the friendships of John Milton who served Cromwell as the official State Censor; John Owen; John Bunyan and many other well known people of that period. When Oliver Cromwell died on 3 September 1658 his son Richard Cromwell became Lord Protector.<br> At the Restoration Rushworth made peace with Charles II and although called to give information on the activities of the regicides was not himself implicated. In 1667 he became secretary to the lord keeper and later agent to the colony of Massachusetts. Despite his many emoluments and an inherited estate he fell into poverty and spent his last years in a lodging in the King’s Bench prison Southwark where he died.<br> Rushworth’s Historical Collections was compiled from his own notes and from printed material with the avowed intention of making it possible for a true history to be written of events that in pamphlets and news sheets dating from the period before the control of the press were liable to misrepresentation. It is most useful for its eyewitness accounts of the Earl of Strafford’s trial the Battle of Naseby and the parliamentary campaigns of 1644–45 and for its transmission of contemporary comment.<br> While Rushworth was remembered as a person his writings found favour in America where they served as a source of inspiration for Thomas Jefferson. Jefferson bought a copy of Rushworth's Historical Collections for use in his own library and he often quoted from them. Rushworth was a contemporary of John Lilburne whose writings had a profound impact on the history of the English Civil Wars of the 17th century. Although his senior he also shared much in common with Oliver Cromwell born 1599 because they were evangelical Christians who believed that the Church of England should undergo a total reformation contrary to the wishes of King Charles I. His views of Charles I as a king who had declared war on his own people were later echoed in words by Thomas Jefferson and others when writing about the reign of George III in the Declaration of Independence.

Text washed and pressed but except for the first and last few leaves without the typical resultant darkening and fading otherwise an extremely attractive copy still fresh the margins especially wide and the binding lustrous and scarcely worn.<br/> <br/> First issued in Latin in the same year as our edition this is the major work of English puritan Walter Travers 1548 - 1625 applying the Calvinist presbyterian system of ecclesiastical government to the episcopal Church of England. According to DNB for Calvin and Travers alike "the duty of the theologian was merely to identify the church's structure and apply it to contemporary circumstances. It was in this last respect that Travers's originality lay for he subtly adapted Calvin's biblical model to an English context. In order to undermine the diocesan episcopate of the English church Travers started off with an examination of the role of bishops in the New Testament showing that they were not part of a separate hierarchy with authority over other clergy but merely ministers of local congregations. He also differed from Calvin in identifying elders as a type of deacon rather than a separate kind of minister." Our book was written during Travers' 1570-76 sojourn in Geneva where he became a friend of Calvin's successor Theodore Beza. Afterwards he ministered to English merchant marines in Antwerp where he refused to use the Book of Common Prayer for worship. Despite this when Travers returned to England he became chaplain to Elizabeth's chief minister William Cecil and tutor to his son. As DNB notes "his close ties to influential courtiers of a Calvinist inclination" would be key to Travers' career keeping him out of serious trouble despite his strongly presbyterian views. Our volume has a distinguished provenance coming from the celebrated Broxbourne library of Albert Ehrman 1890-1969 a diamond merchant who gathered a fine collection of books at his home at Broxbourne in Hertfordshire. He spent half a century collecting books specializing in incunabula and early bindings as well as early type specimens and bibliographies. Feather says that "his collecting was intelligent and scholarly for he sought to illustrate the history of printing and the book trade and the early development of trade binding." Ehrman also authored learned articles on fine bindings and the history of printing. The present work is uncommon: we could trace just five copies at auction since 1979; only the 1979 copy contained the folding "Table" and that one was noted as "slightly defective and mounted on linen.".

With a woodcut factotum and decorative bands built up from typographic ornaments the crowned rose harp leak - depicted by a fleur-de-lis - and thistle representing England Ireland Wales and Scotland. 1 1 blank 11 1 pp. English translation of the Treaty of Madrid dated 1670 also called the Godolphin Treaty between England and Spain. Adopted in July 1670 and ratified on 28 September it officially ended the so-called Anglo-Spanish War 1654-1660 in the Caribbean. The open warfare between England and Spain caused by commercial rivalry had already ended in 1660 after six years of attacking each others commercial and colonial interests but the tension in the Caribbean caused conflict for ten more years. The war officially ended with two peace treaties signed at Madrid: the first dated 1667 and the present second dated 1670. The name Godolphin Treaty derives from William Godolphin 1635-1696 an English diplomat for Charles II and a member of Parliament. The negociations for this treaty between him and the Spanish representative Gaspar de Bracamonte Guzmán ca. 1595 - 1676 a Spanish statesman and count of Peñaranda who also played an important role in the famous Peace of Münster 1648 between France and the Holy Roman Empire started in the autumn of 1669.

FIRST EDITION OF THIS IMPORTANT BIOGRAPHY OF EDWARD III WITH FINELY ENGRAVED PLATES. Edward III 1312–1377 was King of England from January 1327 until his death in 1377. He is noted for his military success and for restoring royal authority after the disastrous and unorthodox reign of his father Edward II. Edward III transformed the Kingdom of England into one of the most formidable military powers in Europe. His fifty-year reign is one of the longest in English history and saw vital developments in legislation and government in particular the evolution of the English Parliament as well as the ravages of the Black Death. He outlived his eldest son Edward the Black Prince and was succeeded by his grandson Richard II.<br> Edward was crowned at age fourteen after his father was deposed. After a successful campaign in Scotland he declared himself rightful heir to the French throne starting the Hundred Years' War 1337–1453. Following some initial setbacks this first phase of the war went exceptionally well for England and would become known as the Edwardian War. Victories at Crécy and Poitiers led to the highly favourable Treaty of Brétigny 1360 in which England made territorial gains and Edward renounced his claim to the French throne. <br> Edward was temperamental and thought himself capable of feats such as healing by the royal touch as some prior English kings did. He was also capable of unusual clemency. He was in many ways a conventional medieval king whose main interest was warfare but he also had a broad range of non-military interests. Admired in his own time and for centuries after. modern historians credit him with significant achievements. <br> Complete copies of this great work on Edward are rare. Most lack all or some of the engraved plates or are rebound. Printed by John Hayes for the Author hardcover

The book "a curious study" of British elite opinion is a commentary on articles from British intellectuals which had supported the Confederacy. The author's close examination of British public opinion is a scathing condemnation of British turpitude. <br /> These were "undeniably able and dextrous writers and politicians who to please the public for whom they wrote and spoke opposed ridiculed and contemned our people and our government during the tremendous struggle for the worthy and honorable existence of our country. It would not be very easy for us to forget these efforts of our inimical kinsfolk or indeed desirable that we should lose sight of so instructive a warning. . ." <br /> Sabin 68317. LCP 11149.

The pamphlet reports on "a very interesting conversazione" concerning Dr. Massie's trip to America. <br /> He met with President Lincoln "a man of integrity whose word is to be believed whenever he speaks. I came away with the conviction that he is the friend of the negro and the man of colour and that he has a firm resolution that whatever power he has shall be constitutionally exerted for the emancipation of every slave in the United States." Massie also met with Seward "again and again" and with Chase and other civil and military leaders all of whom favorably impressed him.<br /> "The day is not far off when the coloured regiments of America will be the safeguard of her negro freedom and the security for all the freedom that belongs to men of whatever colour" <br /> Not in LCP Bartlett Dumond Monaghan or Sabin.

Good.<br /> <br /> Siemms says "Without any previous intention of being a soldier either in the army of the North or South yet I found myself one fine day an officer in the army of the Southern Confederacy." He gives some details of his unit's movements and briefly discusses different engagements while noting his frustration at the North's exaggeration in reporting its successes. His war experience was brief: "My military life ended" when he was taken prisoner "at Bull's run" and held as a prisoner until the British flag brought his release. <br /> Presenting himself as something of an expert he says "the negroes are far better off than a certain class of poor people in many European countries." He says 'Uncle Tom's Cabin' is filled with exaggeration and "downright untruths." He exposes "the false pretence that the North was fighting for liberty" and says the press has greatly exaggerated the North's progress in the field.<br /> Frederick David Samson Siemms 1844-1907 was born in England but it is unclear how he ended up in the United States or fighting for the Confederate Army. His military records show that he enlisted on May 13 1861 at the age of 17 years for a period of 12 months as a private with 1st Artillery Virginia Confederate with Capt. Johnson H. Sands' Company Co. B Henrico Artillery Virginia Light Artillery. His occupation was dentist and optician. Company muster rolls show he was discharged on July 20 1862. Military records of Frederick D.

Crown 8vo 181 x 101mm: 16256pp with frontispiece engraved by William Marshall Madan 47 and full-page portrait of Charles II facing Chapter XXVII. Beautifully bound to period style by Fitterer in black morocco spine in six compartments divided by raised bands ruled in blind covers paneled in gilt with curlicue corner devices burgundy red leather lettering piece gilt end papers renewed. An exceptional copy tightly bound and clean throughout with crisp impressions of the plates. Madan 66. Almack 62. ESTC R204383. Wing E311A. Originally attributed to Charles I but according to Madan composed by John Gauden Bishop of Worcester who probably included some authentic writings of the King and may even have collaborated with him. The first edition was in print on the day of Charles I's execution on 30 January 1649 followed by many editions with various erroneous dates and publishing details. The Eikon reviews the course of the civil wars from the calling of the Long Parliament in 1640 to Charles's imprisonment at Carisbrooke Castle in 1647 and defends the King's policies. It is part political memoir and part spiritual autobiography presenting Charles as the defender of both Church and State. Written in a moving straightforward style in diary form the Eikon combines irenic prayers urging forgiveness of Charles's executioners with a justification of royalism. The poem "Majesty in Misery" said to have been written by the King at Carisbrooke first appeared in the 1676 edition of Perinchief's Life of King Charles but this is the first edition of the Eikon in which it was printed.

Description: "At the time of its inauguration the Manikata Church in Malta symbolized the new spirit of the Church as defined by the Vatican Council in 1963. This study highlights the way in which these new directives in architecture were introduced. The new spirit of the Church was revealed in the way greater emphasis was placed on the building to be the 'house of the community' reflecting the local character and culture rather than the 'house of God'. Signs of worship - altar lectern and presidential chair - were highlighted while all other devotional objects were rendered inconspicuous; earlier churches tended to be cluttered with altars placed in several chapels.
