Description
Richmond, Ky: Cut Rate Printing Co, 1914. About very good.. [54]pp. Original printed wrappers, string-tied. Front cover somewhat scuffed, some wear at lower edge, corners bumped. Light tanning and scattered faint foxing internally. First edition of this popular poetry collection. Laine (1870-1955) was a poet and teacher in Kentucky. He founded the Madison County Colored Teachers Association, which he chaired for twenty years. He was likewise an advocate for African-American farmers as the first Black county extension agent, and organized a club for the farmers in the county. He also created the Colored Chautauqua, an integrated educational event whose first speaker was W.E.B. DuBois, and campaigned against the segregation of Berea College after Kentucky's 1940 Day Law. Laine was inducted into the Kentucky Civil Rights Hall of Fame in 2003. This collection is his best-known volume of poetry, which was printed in 1914, 1925, and again in 1947. The subject matter is a combination of Black uplift, historical and childhood reminiscence, and praise for the deeds and virtues of important figures in Southern African-American history. Scarce in this first edition; OCLC locates only six physical copies, half of which are in Kentucky.

Description
London:: John W. Parker, 1859., 1859. 8vo. viii, [2], 614 pp. Foxing. Original brown morocco, dual gilt-rules, raised bands, gilt-stamped spine, brick-red cloth sides, a.e.g., dark green endsheets. Very good. With a panoramic fore-edge painting found along the three edges, being British golfing scenes. There is a set of photographs of the painting included, probably taken by the former owner, but showing on the back sides that the photographic paper is KODAK paper and a sponsor of the Olympic Games, which Kodak was famously a sponsor from 1896 till 2008, thus the paintings are pre-2008.

Description
1860 Thanksgiving Sermon of New Orleans Presbyterian Minister "The Providential Trust" of the South "is to conserve and to perpetuate the institution of domestic slavery as now existing." "We defend the cause of God and religion. The Abolition spirit is undeniably atheistic." One of the Most Influential Secessionist Speeches, Delivered Three Weeks After Lincoln's Election Pamphlet in original wraps, spine reinforced with cloth tape some time ago, vertical crease and other light wear, paper remnants adhering to outer back wrap, faint blindstamp of Massachusetts Historical Society on page 12. First printing of this oft reprinted secessionist, pro-slavery speech by a prominent racist Calvinist. Times do change, though. In 2021 a New Orleans park named for Palmer was rededicated to jazz patriarch Ellis Marsalis.
