Title: Presidential Candidate William Henry Harrison Defends Himself from an Attack by Future Abolitionist Thaddeus Stevens, Then an Important Figure in the Anti-Masonic Party, Because He Will Not Embrace Anti-Mason Sentiments
Author: William Henry Harrison
Seller: The Raab Collection (United States)
Description: 28/11/1835. “…you have a copy of a letter written in answer to one of Mr. Stevens received late today. I send it to you that you may have all the correspondence. He objects much to the publication of my former letter to him.”A significant number of Founding Fathers were Freemasons, but as politics grew increasingly democratic in the Age of Jackson, many rural Americans believed Freemasonry represented urban arrogance, secrecy, and rituals that posed a threat to Republican democracy. Starting in 1826, an anti-Masonic movement gathered momentum and had a powerful impact on American politics. The Anti-Masonic movement began in upstate New York, and within a few years, spread through Pennsylvania, New England, and the Mid-Atlantic States, eventually reaching onto the Northwest Territory of the Ohio Valley. While many resented the Anti-Masonry movement, some states elected officials to Congress and their respective state governments on the Anti-Masonic Party ticket. It was America’s first third party, and was instrumental in elevating the careers of such luminaries as William H. Seward, William Lloyd Garrison, and Thaddeus Stevens. Garrison and Stevens became known as abolitionists in the coming struggle over slavery.Early in 1835, War of 1812 hero William Henry Harrison began being talked about as a potential presidential candidate by both the Whig and Anti-Masonic Parties. A Pennsylvania state convention for the Anti-Masonic Party was set to meet in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania from December 14–17, 1835, to choose Presidential electors for the 1836 election. Stevens, a major player in that party, publicly refused to support Harrison’s nomination because Harrison would not pledge to be Anti-Mason. Stevens did, however, realize that the Anti-Masons could control the Pennsylvania legislature if the Anti-Masons allied with the Whigs. He sponsored a bill designed to suppress secret societies (such as the Masons), and, two weeks later, he was made chairman of a committee of five to investigate the “evils of Free Masonry.” His hope was to find a Whig who would lean Anti-Masonic.William Ayres was a celebrated lawyer, and member of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives from 1833-1835. In 1834, Ayres and colleague Thaddeus Stevens became fast friends while working together for the establishment of a common school system of education. Harrison also knew Ayres, corresponded with him about his views on the Anti-Masonic Party and other political matters, and sought Ayres’s support (or at least not downright opposition).Autograph letter signed, Cincinnati, November 28, 1835, just weeks before the nominating conventions, to Ayres, reporting that he was being courted by the Anti-Masons and mentioning his dispute with Stevens. “On the other side of this sheet a copy of a letter written in answer to one of Mr. Stevens received late today. I send it to you that you may have all the correspondence. He objects much to the publication of my former letter to him. To do this or not must depend upon the view my friends may take of the whole subject. Mr. Shed a delegate or agent of the Anti-masons of Ohio will be here on Tuesday and will proceed immediately to Harrisburg. I am not personally [known to him but] he is highly spoken of.” The address panel on the verso indicates the recipient. The letter copy mentioned is not present.Stevens opposition was unable to affect the outcome. The Anti-Masonic convention in December unanimously nominated Harrison for president and Francis Granger for vice president. The Whigs also nominated Harrison at their convention about the same time. Harrison lost the 1836 election, but won the following election in 1840.

Title: The Up-To-Date Cook Book: A Collection of Tested Recipes. Compiled by The Ladies' Benefit Society of the Baptist Church, North Bellingham, Massachusetts
Author: [First Baptist Church (North Bellingham, Mass.); Ladies' Benefit Society]
Seller: Rabelais - Fine Books on Food & Drink (United States)
Description: West Medway, Mass: H. A. Bullard, Book and Job Printer, 1908. Octavo (21.5 x 14 cm.), 84 pages. Advertisements (some illustrated). "Index" is actually a table of contents. Photographic image of the church reproduced on the front panel of the wrappers. Evident FIRST EDITION. A charitable church cookbook from Norfolk County, to the southwest of Boston and some thirty kilometers north of Providence. With three hundred fifty recipes, the majority attributed; including: Chestnut Soup, Asparagus Cream Soup, Clam Chowder, Chicken Pie, Oysters and Macaroni, Entire Wheat Bread, Steamed Graham Bread, Blueberry Gems, Sweet Biscuit, Rye Meal Pudding, Indian Pudding, Ada's Vegetable Pudding (with carrots, potatoes, and raisins), Baked Apple Dumplings, Cranberry Puffs, Hot Slaw, Beet Relish, Pearl Cake, Six Months Cake (with "1 teaspoonful all kinds of spices"), Hickory Nut Cake, Rolled Oat Macaroons, Twentieth Century Lemon Pie, Coffee Mousse, Banana Ice Cream, Vinegar Cream Candy, Pear Conserve. "Up-to-date" is the tacit endorsement of consumer brands called for within recipes, notably Kingsford's Corn Starch and Ralston Health Food. The variety of approaches to cake-baking is similarly "of the moment" – for instance, the batter of Lightning Cake (with baking powder) must be "beat like lightning" (page 53); an Apple Sauce Cake (with soda dissolved in warm water) calls for the acid reactant "sour apple sauce, letting it foam over the ingredients in the bowl" (page 51) – that is, applesauce without sugar (not, one imagines, sauce from soured apples). Another "up-to-date" note, incidentally, to the entry for Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt's Spice Cake, alerts readers that "this recipe came directly from Mrs. Roosevelt to the Ladies' Benefit Society" (page 49). ~ The town of Bellingham took its name from an early governor of Massachusetts Bay Colony; admirers of Nathaniel Hawthorne's novel The Scarlet Letter and of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's drama John Endicott, both of which contain portrayals of the governor, will recognize the name. The designation North Bellingham for the part of town north of the Charles River dates to the early seventeenth century, but the North Bellingham Baptist congregation assumed its name in October 1847 in order to distinguish itself from the First Baptist Church of Bellingham, adapting a hall within the Bates & Arnold Grist Mill "containing thirty-five pews, of which twenty-nine were let at once" (George Fairbanks Partridge, History of the Town of Bellingham, Massachusetts, 1719-1919 [Bellingham: The Town, 1919], page 167). It was chartered, after a hiatus occasioned by the Civil War, in 1868. The Up-To-Date Cook Book by all appearances, then, observes the congregation's fortieth anniversary. ~ The congregation was still meeting in the mill chapel as of 1884 (Stephen Coombs, "North Bellingham Baptist Church," History of Norfolk County, Massachusetts, ed. Duane Hamilton Hurd (Philadelphia: J. W. Lewis, 1884), pages 156-157); as of the present writing the date of origin of the church depicted photographically on the cover is unknown. It stands today, at the modern address 365 Hartford Avenue, and serves as the home of the descendent congregation, the Bellingham Bible Baptist Church. ~ Shelfworn; a number of pages dog-eared and several early leaves gashed with a closed tear at the fore-edge; staining to bottom edges; text unobscured and pages bright otherwise. Stapled in publisher's gray wrappers, lettered in black; creased and abraded; chipping to corners and spine. Poor. Unrecorded. [OCLC locates no copies; not in Bitting, Cook, Brown, or Cagle].
