Hardcover. Etat : Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Very Good. 1st Edition. Hill & Wang, New York. 1966. 294 pages; index included. First edition stated, first printing. Book is bright, tight and fine in seemingly unread condition. Original DJ with $5.95 price intact on flap. Slight sunning to red hue on spine. Light rubbing along DJ edges and folds. A small closed edge tear on upper front of DJ. The Liberator (1831-1865) was a weekly abolitionist newspaper out of Boston, published by William Lloyd Garrison. The paper used a religious slant versus a political one, to appeal to the moral conscience of its readers by urging them to demand the immediate freeing of slaves. The paper counted Frederick Douglass, Beriah Green and Alfred Niger, as its readers. Culled from thirty-five years of its weekly publications, editor Truman Nelson has cherry-picked fifty-plus articles to showcase as the essence of The Liberator; with this book being published in 1966, as the Civil Rights movement was taking hold. A fine first edition, first printing in VG DJ; flaws noted.…

An excellent, extensive run of Garrison's fiery abolitionist newspaper, one of the most radical American periodicals of its time and certainly the most radical of any with a national circulation. Throughout its thirty-five years of publication, The Liberator championed not only the abolition of slavery and equal rights for African American citizens, but also women's suffrage, mental health and prison reform, education reform, freethought, and a litany of other progressive causes, many in an era when such notions were sufficiently far out of the mainstream that they were considered not just contrarian, but simply beyond the pale of serious discourse. By providing space in his pages for such radical voices as Frederick Douglass, William Wells Brown, Henry C. Wright, Susan B. Anthony and others beginning as early as the 1830s, Garrison and The Liberator paved the way for the Progressive movements of the later decades of the nineteenth century, precursors without which the sweeping social reform movements of the twentieth century would never have existed. The Liberator was an epoch-making newspaper, and its influence was broad and long-lasting. The current run of issues is the largest we have ever handled, providing a substantial picture of the paper's outlook in the years around the Mexican War, the Gold Rush, and the consequential Presidential elections of 1848, all of which are discussed at length (and from a refreshingly idiosyncratic editorial point of view) in these pages. Included are numerous significant contributions by both Frederick Douglass and William Wells Brown, including the first appearance of Douglass's famous "To My Old Master," in which he addressed his former enslaver Thomas Auld on the tenth anniversary of his emancipation: "I intend to make use of you as a weapon with which to assail the system of slavery-as a means of concentrating public attention on the system, and deepening their horror of trafficking in the souls and bodies of men. I shall make use of you as a means of exposing the character of the American church and clergy-and as a means of bringing this guilty nation with yourself to repentance." And, in the June 20, 1851 issue, a brief prospectus for what would become another history-making publication, Frederick Douglass' Paper, edited by Douglass himself, which appeared in Rochester that same month and ran through 1860. William Wells Brown, a regular contributor, maintained a lively correspondence with fellow abolitionists…[CONTACT US FOR COMPLETE DESCRIPTION].…

The final issue of William Lloyd Garrison's long-running and highly influential abolitionist newspaper, The Liberator. Dated December 29, 1865, the issue was published to coincide with the ratification of the thirteenth amendment, which formally abolished slavery in the United States, earlier that same month. The Liberator had debuted thirty-five years before, with the first issue having appeared on January 1, 1831. As Garrison here explains, publication of The Liberator was begun "without a subscriber," and the paper, from the beginning, was met with "fierce hostility" from "Southern slaveholding villany on the one hand, and Northern pro-slavery malice on the other." Carrying on publication in the face of such opposition, Garrison observes, required both "rare moral courage" and "singular personal independence" on the part of both patrons and publisher, and the paper continued to run every week for the next thirty-five years, ending with this, the final issue on December 29, 1865, for which Garrison set much of the type himself. Like earlier issues, the present issue features original material together with selections reprinted from other publications sympathetic to the abolitionist cause. As the final issue, however, this one is distinctive for its celebratory and triumphant tone and contains numerous letters of congratulation and farewell from such figures as Samuel E. Sewell, Samuel J. May, and Henry C. Wright. Fittingly, it reprints Garrison's 1831 "Salutatory" from the first issue of The Liberator. Accompanying the "Salutatory" is a "Valedictory" in which Garrison reflects on "the immense change wrought in the national feeling and sentiment on the subject of slavery" in the years since The Liberator's first appearance. He then proceeds to offer an explanation for bringing the publication to an end: "The object for which the Liberator was commencedthe extermination of chattel slaveryhaving been gloriously consummated, it seems to me specially appropriate to let its existence cover the historic period of the great struggle; leaving what remains to be done to complete the work of emancipation to other instrumentalities." Among the selections reprinted from other publications are an editorial by Lydia Maria Child, a column entitled "Danger Ahead" addressing the growing number of "unreconstructed Southerners" fleeing the United States for Latin America, and recent speeches by Thaddeus Stevens and Henry Wilson. Additional contents include various letters to the editor (most notably one from Elizabeth Cady Stanton on the "Political Rights of Woman"); a report about schools for Blacks and the formerly enslaved in Washington, D.C.; a "Poetry" section containing five original poems; and various advertisements and notices, including an announcement for the upcoming meeting of the American Anti-Slavery Society, a call for subscribers to the antislavery journal The Commonwealth, and an announcement for the new religious magazine The Radical. The final issue of The Liberator exists in two editions, of which this is the second. Having already printed copies of the first edition, Garrison issued another, resetting the type on pages 3 and 4 to include a note of thanks to one of The Liberator's longtime supporters, the Reverend Samuel May, Jr., and to reprint a farewell letter from the Boston abolitionist-publisher William C. Nell. The landmark final issue of America's longest-running and most influential abolitionist newspaper, commemorating the passage of the thirteenth amendment and the abolition of slavery in the United States.

The Union victory issue of William Lloyd Garrison's long-running and highly influential newspaper, The Liberator, published the morning of Friday, April 14, 1865; mere hours before the assassination of President Lincoln. The first issue of Garrison's important radical abolitionist newspaper was published on January 1, 1831, and ran every week for the next thirty-five years, ending with the final issue of December 29, 1865. Not knowing the pall which would fall upon the country later this day, this issue of The Liberator abounds with joyous expressions for the end of the war, celebrating both the fall of Richmond on April 3 and the surrender of Lee on April 9. Under a heading titled "The Death of the Slaveholders' Rebellion," the editors proclaim that "We go to press this week in the midst of universal jubilation. The air is filled with the music of bells and the reverberation of cannon; no demonstration of delight seems too extravagant, no expression of gratitude is adequate to the occasion. The celebration of the capture of Richmond was measured for four years of premature congratulations and prophecies have taught us to distrust success itself; but the news of Lee's surrender to Gen. Grant was the signal for a popular demonstration unequalled since the fall of Sumter." Additionally, the lead article on page one reports on the proceedings of a "Great Jubilee Meeting at Faneuil Hall, in honor of the fall of Richmond," and the fall of Richmond and surrender of Lee are well represented by both official dispatches and articles from correspondents. Looking towards the official end of hostilities, other articles discuss terms of peace and particularly advise against the lenience suggested by Copperheads or peace-minded Republicans such as Horace Greeley. Unsurprisingly given the paper's name and pedigree, the ratification of the Thirteenth Amendment is another major topic of discussion, and this issue includes progress updates as well as a long and forceful speech in its favor by Maryland Senator John Cresswell. As of this issue, the amendment had been unanimously accepted by Tennessee (the twentieth state to ratify) and roundly rejected by Kentucky (which would in fact not vote to ratify for over a century). Two other articles broach the topic of equitable wages for women (through a speech by Anna Dickinson) and the possibility of women's suffrage, which one correspondent "thinks the war has prepared the people to consider.favorably." A brief mention is also given to Secretary of State William Seward's recent accident, stating that "Secretary Seward met with a serious accident on the 5th. He jumped from his carriage when the horses were running away, and fractured an arm and injured his face. His son, F.W. Seward, also jumped out, and escaped uninjured." The evening this paper was printed, Seward and his son would both suffer further injuries when attacked by assassins in conspiracy with Booth. The official government circular reporting the incident noted that "About the same time [as Lincoln's assassination], an attempt was made to assassinate the Secretary of State in his own house while he was in bed suffering the effects of the late accident. The attempt failed, but Mr. Seward was severely cut, on the face especially, it is supposed with a bowie knife. Mr. F. W. Seward was felled by a blow or blows on the head, from the assassin, and for some time afterwards was apparently unconscious." The issue closes with the dramatic news that The Liberator would cease publication at the end of the year, as "the work of the Liberator, as such, is done.freedom has triumphed, and the oppressed are free." Also present are several songs celebrating the downfall of the Confederacy and assorted other notes, including the brief but noteworthy statement that "All new dies made at the U.S. Mint for coining money are to bear as a national motto, 'In God we Trust.' in accordance with the special act of the last Congress." A landmark issue of America's longest-running and most influential abolitionist newspaper, celebrating the fall of Richmond, the surrender of General Lee, and the forward march of the Thirteenth Amendment, printed the very morning of Lincoln's assassination.
