Description:
Sale, 1802. 15,[1],14,[1]pp. Dbd. Final leaf torn, affecting a few words in the advertisement. Two small holes throughout, growing larger toward the rear, affecting a few words on each page of the final seven leaves. A fair copy. An ambitious proposal for a new world geography. Nancrede and Macanulty begin by heavily criticizing extant atlases (including that of Mathew Carey), and end by outlining their ambitious work, to be authored by the noted geographer, James Tytler. Designed as three octavo volumes and one atlas, this text would illustrate the use of globes, offer a general history of mankind, religion, and the earth, and include descriptions of particular countries. The second portion is a supplement, containing a review of Pinkerton's MODERN GEOGRAPHY. A scarce Salem imprint. SHAW & SHOEMAKER 2723, 2724. OCLC 23272910, 80557241.

An important publication by the National Woman Suffrage and Educational Committee, published in Hartford just after the group's national convention in Washington, D.C. and ahead of the group's next national convention on May 11, 1871 in New York City. The text boldly "calls upon all women who love their children and their country" to take up the cause of suffrage, asserting: "This is pre- eminently the birth-day of womanhood." The main thrust of the text argues for women's suffrage on a Constitutional basis, asserting that women were already granted full citizenship and the right to vote under the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments. The authors call for women to assert their right to vote by going to the polls and, if necessary, by suing in court. This last point was a strategy developed by Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan B. Anthony, and other suffragists to seek remedy for the… Read More
