184619196Detroit Pontiac: Printed for the Publisher 1846. First edition. Stitching partially perished but sheets still holding; some browning to the fore-edges of the text block a little dust-soiling; a very good copy. Unbound pamphlet stitched as issued 8.25 x 5.25 inches 148 pages. And here I must record that Mr. Allen had good reason to suppose me drunk or insane; in the house of Mr. Field I have him either $55 or $65 for which I took his note; I have him an order for near $40 on H. C. Knight and the half was to be given to help to build an Old School church. . . . Mr. Allen knowing his own character drew the conclusion justly that if I had been sober I would never have trusted him with a hundred dollars." A lively and at times mordantly humorous defense by the Rev. Nicoll against charges of drunkenness charging a conspiracy at the hands of the Rev. Lemuel Bates working through the cat's paw of James S. Allen himself supposedly in thrall to Mrs. Bates and doing her bidding; Nicoll had challenged Bates's fitness to admission to the Presbytery of Michigan suggesting in part "common fame says that he Bates continues his old practices of lounging about stores visiting their cellars to look at their vinegar but really to drink their liquors; continues to be the as regardless of truth as ever--witness his speech on his overture and many other things. It is said that he has been seen drunk in the streets of Detroit and in the streets of Pontiac in less than a year." Questions of procedure allegations against the chastity of Mrs. Bates comparison to a nest of rattlesnakes etc. etc. all suggest that ecclesiastical polity of early Michigan possessed of a vigor and engagement rarely seen today. Not noted in the American Imprints Michigan survey; the scattered holdings on OCLC all generally suggest a Michigan imprint and though the length of this piece seems possible from a Pontiac press it seems more likely that Nicoll had it printed up in Detroit.

1851WRCAM5082Detroit 1851. 1752834008pp. Old calf rebacked. Internally very good. The situation in Michigan in the mid-1840's foreshadowed a struggle which became more prominent - and more inequitable - after the Civil War. The Michigan Central Railroad opened the fertile area up for agricultural development by providing transportation but it also put the farmers at the mercy of the line as far as freight rates. In an era before any regulatory control the line played favorites to friends and squeezed the small farmers. The latter responded with sabotage and it was the agrarian vs. technology. An early and important case suggesting much of what was to come on the American landscape. unknown books
