"What darker or more dreary calamity could threaten any nation or people on earth than the successful establishment of a Republic whose corner-stone shall be 'that the negro is not equal to the white man and that slavery- subordination to the superior race- is his natural and normal condition'."<br /> Bartlett 3040.

Disbound else Very Good.<br /> <br /> Sabin and the Library Company suggest Richard Grant White as the author. 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.

Good.<br /> <br /> Potter was the President of the Society a British organization based in Manchester and supporting the North in its war against Slavery. 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.

Liverpool 1864. 24pp. Disbound with wrapper remnants along spine. 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.
