A propos de cet article

Boston: James Redpath, 1864. The Definitive First Edition of an Exceptionally Rare Anti-Capital Punishment Pamphlet Regarding the First Recorded Bank Robbery in American History [Trial]. Green, Edward W. [d.1866], Defendant. A Citizen of Malden. Shall We Suffocate Ed. Green? Boston: James Redpath, 1864. 61, [3] pp. Octavo (9-1/4" x 5-1/2"; 23.5 x 14 cm). Stab-stitched pamphlet in printed wrappers. Light soiling, staining and edgewear to wrappers and corners of text block, spine abraded, wrappers partially detached but secure.

Published during the height of the public furor surrounding Green's trial, this highly charged polemic fiercely condemns the bloodlust of the public. The anonymous author, writing as "A Citizen of Malden," argues that those demanding Green's execution are betraying the core teachings of Christ. The pamphlet was issued by James Redpath [1833-1891], the prominent journalist, radical abolitionist, and progressive publisher known for championing social reform and human rights causes. This title is of exceptional rarity. While Thomas M. McDade's definitive bibliography, The Annals of Murder, records two other contemporary accounts of the Green case (items 381 and 382), this specific pamphlet is unrecorded by McDade. Charles William Raisbeck [1829-1872], the former owner of this copy, was a bookkeeper and genealogist who split his time between Boston and Malden. * Only edition. Green, the postmaster of Malden, Massachusetts, is. …
