Title: Slaveholding a Malum in Se
Author: JACKSON Joseph TYLER Edward
Seller: Bauman Rare Books (United States)
Description: 1921. First Edition. TYLER, E[dward]. R. Slaveholding a Malum in Se, or Invariably Sinful. Harford: S.S. Cowles, 1839. Octavo, original tan self-wrappers, original stitching; pp. (1-3), 4-48. $1200.First edition of Tyler's searing analysis of arguments defending slavery in this incendiary work that prompted local leaders to offer gunpowder to ""blow the damned abolitionist down,"" delivered by him in a Brattleboro chapel as a ""mob formed outside cannons were fired,"" with Tyler especially demolishing pro-slavery claims that enslaved people willingly choose slavery, exceedingly scarce in original self-wrappers.In 1837 Rev. Edward Royal Tyler, the son of Revolutionary leader, jurist and author Royall Tyler, stood in Elliot Street Chapel to deliver this highly controversial abolition address in which he declared a ""slaveholding government"" to be any that ""authorizes individuals to deprive their fellow men of self-ownership forever."" Tyler intended to establish a Brattleboro chapter of the American Anti-Slavery Society (AASS) despite warnings by local leaders, including one who proclaimed he ""would provide the gun powder if the mob would blow the damned abolitionist down."" As Tyler began to speak a ""mob formed outside cannons were fired off and pots and pans were clanged to intimidate those who might go into the chapel."" His mother wrote in her journal: ""Great doings: Edward delivered a lecture on abolition cannons were fired and all manner of noises were made nevertheless, Edward proceeded undaunted."" At the subsequent first meeting of the Brattleboro AASS he declared: ""The time is coming when you will be compelled to take one side or the other, for this is not simply a question of negro-slavery, it is the cause of human rights. The institutions of freedom are in imminent danger"" (Brattleboro Historical Society).Tyler's Slaveholding a malum in se (an innately immoral act regardless of legal stature) is now esteemed as ""a neglected masterpiece of abolitionist literature."" In its pages he presents a detailed historical and juridical analysis of arguments used to rationalize and authorize slavery, especially the popular pro-slavery concept of happy slaves, which was defended by an ""ask the slave test"" that argued ""the slave, not the slave master, was the only reliable authority"" on enslavement (Growler, Radical Orthodoxy, 612-13). Tyler soundly demolishes this idea of an enslaved person who ""washes his master in innocence."" He states: ""If it is right to hold those only in slavery, who are willing no one is justified in enforcing the laws of slavery. The laws which declare one man the property of another, thus sanctioning his forcible detention as chattel, are all wrong the argument is suicidal. It annihilates itself"" (emphasis in original). Essentially, this false logic signals a ""relationship in which consent to another's authority must be continually given for that authority to remain in effect"" and, as such, ""is not a master-slave relationship at all"" (Gowler, 613). Sabin 97699. Not in Blockson. Text very fresh with scant foxing mainly to wrappers, trace of marginal dampstaining above title page. A rare near-fine copy in original self-wrappers.

Condition: Near Fine in Fair dj
Description: New York: G.P. Putnam's Sons. Near Fine in Fair dj. (c.1964). 2nd impression. Hardcover. [very slight wear to extremities, generally a nice clean copy; the jacket has a ragged chip at the bottom rige corner of the rear panel, some discoloration to the spine, small tape stains at the lower corners of the front panel, a small tears at a couple of corners]. INSCRIBED and SIGNED by the author on the front endpaper: "To Del, / - with best wishes / and total confidence -- / Elliott / June '64." The author's first novel, about an "aging, raging poet seeking to maintain his identity and independence in a world that wants to reduce him to its own level." The basis for the 1966 film of the same name, starring Sean Connery, Joanne Woodward, and Jean Seberg. The inscription in this copy is to Delbert Mann, who was first announced as the film's director at the time the rights to the novel were first acquired in 1964, at which time the film was to be produced at M-G-M (the inscription dates from the month after the deal was announced). Alas, however, Mann was denied the opportunity to justify the author's "total confidence," as by the time the film went into production (now at Warner Bros.) he had been replaced by Irvin Kershner; the screenplay was by Baker himself.
