Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Original Ottoman illustrated journal. 40x27 cm. In Ottoman script (Old Turkish with Arabic letters). 8 p., richly ills. Taken from a volume. Foxing on pages, slightly chipped on hinges. Overall a very good copy. Extremely rare early issue of an Ottoman illustrated journal depicting a lynching of colored American citizens in Florida by white Americans, published one year after the proclamation of the Republic in Turkey. The first studies bearing social criticism on issues like slavery and abolition were made in the early years of the young Turkish Republic, which had refused the legacy of its imperial predecessor. In this period, several classics of American anti-slavery literature and contemporary works were translated for the first time, and texts on slavery and abolition in America were translated and published in Turkey. The term "Lynch's Law" apparently originated during the American Revolution when Patriot Charles Lynch (1736-1796), a Virginia justice of the peace, ordered extralegal punishment of the Loyalists. Variations of the term, such as "lynch law," "judge lynch," and "lynching", were standard entries in American and British English dictionaries by the 1850s. In 1811, a man named Captain William Lynch claimed that the phrase, already famous, actually came from a 1780 compact signed between him and his neighbors in Pittsylvania County, Virginia, to uphold their own brand of law independent of legal authority. In the pre-Civil War South, members of the abolitionist movement and other people opposing slavery were sometimes targets of lynch mob violence. (Source: Wikipedia).

In the same hand there is an extensive critique on the second fly leaf "This book contains specimens from the pens of those poets who appeared upon the literary horizon of America prior to 1820. Since then the names of our greatest poets have appeared, and the poetry of today, from its surpassing brilliancy, causes us to lose sight of many of the "gems" that appeared prior to 1820. We might mention the names of Edgar A. Poe, Timwood, Hayes, Meek, Pinckney, Mrs. Margaret J. Preston, as being the leading American poets appearing in this last half of the 19th Century, Mobile, June 1876." A.K.? Manning on margin of p. 64 of volume II.
