Scriptural Ecclesiastical and Historical View of Slavery from the Days of the Patriarch Abraham to the Nineteenth Century Addressed to The Right Rev. Alonzo Potter
by:

Hardcover. NY, W. I. Pooley & Co., 1st., 1864, Book: Very Good, Hardcover, embossed brown cloth with gilt design on spine, 376 pages. Hopkins was the first Protestant Episcopal Bishop of the Diocese of Vermont. Writing after the Emancipation Proclamation had turned the sectional conflict into a war against slavery, he argues in detail that slavery is not forbidden by scripture and hence is not a sin. Deals with the history of slavery, beginning with the Biblical view and slavery of circumstances, and its comparison to the Southern system at this time during the Civil War. Chapter XXX deals with Man-stealing, of which, the author asserts, the Southern States had nothing to do, with the title of the Southern masters shown to be as good as the titles of the North to their lands taken from the Indians. Following chapters also deal specifically with the Golden Rule, the treatment of slaves, testimonies of the Southern clergy, and ultimately a view from the author in favor of the practice of slaveholding. Crease to front board hardly noticeable from the outside but visible inside front cover. Otherwise a tight, clean copy.

Soulmaker: The Times of Lewis Hine
by: Nemerov, Alexander

Hardcover. Princeton NJ, Princeton University Press, 1st, 2016, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover in a bright dust jacket. Between 1908 and 1917, the American photographer and sociologist Lewis Hine (1874-1940) took some of the most memorable pictures of child workers ever made. Traveling around the United States while working for the National Child Labor Committee, he photographed children in textile mills, coal mines, and factories from Vermont and Massachusetts to Georgia, Tennessee, and Missouri. Using his camera as a tool of social activism, Hine had a major influence on the development of documentary photography. But many of his pictures transcend their original purpose. Concentrating on these photographs, Alexander Nemerov reveals the special eeriness of Hine's beautiful and disturbing work as never before. Richly illustrated, the book also includes arresting contemporary photographs by Jason Francisco of the places Hine documented. Clean copy.

The Blind African Slave: Or Memoirs of Boyrereau Brinch, Nicknamed Jeffrey Brace
by: Jeffrey Brace; Editor Kari J. Winter; Contributor Benjamin F. Prentiss

Softcover. Madison WI, University of Wisconsin, reprint., 2005, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Softcover in pictorial wraps, 244 pages. The Blind African Slave recounts the life of Jeffrey Brace (ne Boyrereau Brinch), who was born in West Africa around 1742. Captured by slave traders at the age of sixteen, Brace was transported to Barbados, where he experienced the shock and trauma of slave-breaking and was sold to a New England ship captain. After fighting as an enslaved sailor for two years in the Seven Years War, Brace was taken to New Haven, Connecticut, and sold into slavery. After several years in New England, Brace enlisted in the Continental Army in hopes of winning his manumission. After five years of military service, he was honorably discharged and was freed from slavery. As a free man, he chose in 1784 to move to Vermont, the first state to make slavery illegal. There, he met and married an African woman, bought a farm, and raised a family. Although literate, he was blind when he decided to publish his life story, which he narrated to a white antislavery lawyer, Benjamin Prentiss, who published it in 1810. Upon his death in 1827, Brace was a well-respected abolitionist. In this first new edition since 1810, Kari J. Winter provides a historical introduction, annotations, and original documents that verify and supplement our knowledge of Brace's life and times. Clean copy.
