1869020934New York: Susan B. Anthony Proprietor; R.J. Johnson Publisher 1869. Wraps. Good. Side sewn journal. Approximately 12 ¼ by 9 inches. 16 pp. Early issue of the Revolution a groundbreaking and influential newspaper produced by Elizabeth Cady Stanton Susan B. Anthony and Parker Pillsbury. The paper was established to provide a voice to activists and suffragists such as Stanton and Anthony whose voices were marginalized by the mainstream press as well as many abolitionist publications with whom they had been previously allied. Anthony and Stanton advocated for an amendment giving suffrage to women along with the amendment sponsored by abolitionists that would give Black men the right to vote. Many abolitionists actively discouraged Stanton and Anthony from pursuing their amendment until the amendment enfranchising Black men passed creating a rift in the abolitionist movement as well as the women's suffrage movement. Feeling betrayed by abolitionists and Republicans who initially supported them they established the Revolution with financial help from George Francis Train a Democrat who supported women's rights but was openly racist. As the name indicates The Revolution adopted a combative radical tone with Stanton and others unafraid to take on critics. The paper openly discussed sexual and physical abuse in marriage and advocated better divorce laws that would offer women a way to escape abusive marriages. In 1869 the paper broke with Train who had supplied very little of the funding he initially offered. It published until 1872 struggling to make expenses along the way.

1884013679Albany New York: Joel Munsell's Sons: 1884. By Lieut. James M. Hadden also Orders kept by him and issued by Sir Carleton Lieut. General John Burgoyne and Major General William Phillips in 1776 1777 and 1778. With an explanatory chapter and notes by Horatio Rogers Brevett Brigadier General U.S. V. and formerly Colonel Second Rhode Island Infantry: Member of the American Antiquarian Society and author of Private Libraries Of Providence. 581 pages with 9 illustrations and Errata slip tipped in. "A knowledge of the British no less than of the American participants in Burgoyne's campaign being necessary to the proper understanding of that great event has led me to investigate the personnel of Burgoyne's army and to annotate the text far more fully than had at first been intended. No reference in the notes has been made to characters like Stark Schuyler Heath Warner Morgan Lord Stirling etc. as they are presumed to be familiar to the American reader; and though Dr. O'Callaghan in Burgoyne's Orderly Book has sketched with more or less fullness. So little is known of Burgoyne's Canadian and Provincial officers and especially of the elder of Burgoyne's Indians that no pains have been spared to glean all possible information in regard to them." "In August 1875 the editor purchased two morocco book formed cases which had just arrived from London. Two books were a manuscript journal kept by Lieut. James M. Hadden for the Royal Artillery from his embarkation for Canada March 4 1776 to the close of the battle of Freeman's Farm Sept. 19 1777 Lieut. Hadden having served under Gen. Carleton in Canada in 1776 and participated in Burgoyne's campaign the following year. The other six memorandum books were filled with copies of orders issued during 1776 1777 and early part of 1778." This book internally is in fine condition.
