Description
New York: Greeley & McElrath, 1857. 104pp, in later half leather. Upper corners of first two leaves renewed, costing several letters on page 4. Else, a couple of fox spots and an otherwise clean and Very Good text. The Dred Scott case "is the most famous legal case involving slavery," "the most controversial decision of the century, and perhaps in the history of the Supreme Court" [Finkelman]. "This pamphlet contains the two most important opinions in the case-- those of Chief Justice Taney and Associate Justice Benjamin Robbins Curtis of Massachusetts,"[id.], and summaries of the other opinions. In addition, an 'Analysis of Points Ruled, and Opinions Delivered,' is printed. One of the earliest such efforts, it is of some importance because, each Justice having expressed his views, heavy brain work was necessary to figure out exactly what a majority of the Court had decided. Finally, 'The Voice of New York' is expressed, consisting of the report of a Joint Legislative Committee at Albany. It denounces the "serious and alarming doctrines" that may "bring slavery within our borders." FIRST EDITION. Finkelman 50. Blockson 2556. Work 345 (1860 ed. only). Sabin 78257. Cohen 11889.

Description
[Reading, PA], 1840. Loosely stitched together.. Very good; some dustiness; some chipping to the extremities; occasional loose leaf.. Folio. TItle and 136 handwritten pages (recto/verso) in ink in a neat German gothic script. In the early nineteenth century, German Lutheran families came to settle the Dushore area from Berks, Luzerne and Columbia Counties. The first regular Lutheran pastor in this area was Rev. Carl Ludwig Erle. He was born in 1805 at Muenden, Hanover, Germany and arrived at New York City, 1824. He was accepted as a candidate for the ministry by the Ministerium of Pennsylvania which sent him to develop congregations in what was then known as the Cherry Valley mission field. He was licensed by the Ministerium in 1840 and ordained May 21, 1845 at Reading; he was paid by the Ministerium's Missionary Society. From the beginning of his pastorate, Rev. Erle had four preaching locations: Friedens (Peace), Zion, Eberly's (St. John's), and Belletemer (probably Bella Sylva). Eventually, the first three were organized into regular congregations. St. John's and Zion had always been united and were known as the Dushore Parish. The Zion congregation was established by Pastor Erle in his own home about two miles east of Dushore. What year the congregation was organized has not been determined (Groesbeck genealogy). The manuscript appears to have been part of his ordination requirement - Erle was identified as early as 1835 as "candidate" in the Minutes of the Annual Convention of the Evangelical Lutheran Ministerium - and does provide insight to the kind of informed, educated resource available to the rural population through the offices of the church. The final 60 pages of the manuscript are a "day-book" autobiographical record of Erle's life in the church covering the years 1840 - 1842.
