1869021007New York: Susan B. Anthony Proprietor; R.J. Johnson Publisher 1869. Wraps. Fair. 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. This issue with pieces by Elizabeth Cady Stanton "The Third Volume" and "Editorial Correspondence." Also present is a lengthy piece by Parker Pillsbury on the Fifteenth amendment stating why suffragists such as Stanton and Anthony are against it in that it gives Black men the power to vote but not women or Black women and highlights the hypocrisy of abolitionists. FAIR condition. Front leaf DETACHED but present. Several fold creases present with other general wrinkling. Minor toning and scattered soiling in the interior. Susan B. Anthony, Proprietor; R.J.

1911021486East Aurora NY: The Roycrofters 1911. First Edition. Quarter Leather. Very Good. Paper covered boards with a leather spine. 130 pp. SIGNED with a lengthy inscription by Marilla Ricker on the first endpaper. The inscription reads in part "So far as I've heard no Christian has arisen to state that the morals of the Rev. Clarence Richeson were contaminated by reading the works of Paine or Ingersoll. The Rev. claims to be a product of the Christian bible and he's still talking of his god and his bible." Ricker is referring to Clarence Richeson an on and off again minister for a variety of congregations who apparently suffered many bouts of insanity and was hospitalized several times. He also was engaged to many young women sometimes several at once. In 1911 he poisoned and murdered Avis Linnell and was sentenced to death. He was executed in early 1912. Given that the reverend was alive until early 1912 it is possible this was inscribed sometime in late 1911. A collection of four essays on four figures in history: Robert G. Ingersoll Thomas Paine John Calvin and Jonathan Edwards as well as an essay asking "What is Prayer" Ricker reflects on Robert G. Ingersoll his agnosticism and skill as an orator as well as his advocacy for freethought and questions Theodore Roosevelt's criticisms of Thomas Paine among other subjects. Marilla M. Ricker was the first woman admitted to the NH bar as well as being admitted to the bar in Washington DC in 1882. She pushed for prison reform and worked free of charge for many of her clients. Ricker was also a strong advocate for women's suffrage being the first woman to attempt to vote in New Hampshire arguing that she had a right to do so as a property owner in Dover NH. She also was a key figure in the freethought movement. VERY GOOD condition. Minor soiling and edgewear to the covers. Leather rather scuffed along the hinges. Minor toning in the interior.
