1888 Black Phalanx Negro Soldiers African American Military Civil War Abolition
Joseph T. Wilson was an African-American soldier who served in the 54th Massachusetts during the American Civil War. While his military career was not extensive, it did provide him with an understanding of the role that black men had during the 19th-century. He began writing poems and speeches, most of which were used to push an abolitionist-like agenda – black suffrage, full citizenship, and social reforms. His best book, and to this day most-known, was 'The Black Phalanx' which was the most comprehensive study of African-American military service in the 19th-century.

Description:
1537 1ed Orthodox Saint John Chrysostom On the Priesthood + Brixius MarburgA rare 16th-century printing of works of John Chrysostom. Chrysostom was one of the most important Early Christian Church authors and preachers and is most remembered for his sermons and homilies. He preached on many different subjects, but his most frequented topic was helping the needy. Chrysostom calls for followers of Jesus to set aside their material desires to help the poor, often in a way that shamed the rich and guilted them in to giving.
"Do you pay such honor to your excrements as to receive them into a silver chamber-pot when another man made in the image of God is perishing in the cold?" (Chrysostom in Liebeschuetz)
One of his most important treatises was 'On the Priesthood' in which he describes his experiences becoming a priest and living as a priest. Interestingly, this work was popular during his lifetime as he made references to it in his other works.
This extremely rare 16th-century edition of 'On the… Read More

Beginning in 1697, Leslie began writing his first of seven anti-Quaker propaganda works. It was in these works that Leslie made claims that Quakers were false prophets and conjurers. In addition to Quakers, Leslie defamed other religious groups including Jews, Catholics, and Deists, and his criticisms extended beyond Europe. According to Sabin, 'The Snake in the Grass' gives an account

1854 Opium War Japanese Woodblock Print China Qing Ming Sorcery Taiping ShujinAn interesting 18th century woodblock-print of 'Military Tales of the Qing vs Ming' by Seiei Shujin written as an account of the Opium War and the Taiping rebellion. These accounts are primarily military tales and focus on characters such as Hong Wulong a General for the Ming, or Li Boyu, a courageous female general who can perform sorcery. The book interestingly paints British soldiers as "barbarians" who have to "cower" to the Chinese Ming Warriors. This book offended the governmental authorities, and so, woodcuts were confiscated, and the author was thrown into prison.
This rare 1854 edition is written in a column format with furigana usage for easier reading. This 5-volume woodblock print is bound in the "fukurotoji (variously translated as "bound-pocket," or "pouch" binding)" style with Mino paper!

Trumansburg, NY: Out of Step Press. Fine with no dust jacket. 2016. Numbered Edition; First Printing. Pamphlet. The author's non-linear poem about the billeting of soldiers in civilian homes in wartime. Copy 89 of a limited edition of 250. Folded into the form of a letter, the work was letterpress printed in wraps of handmade "combat paper" made from military uniforms. The author says: "Some time ago-maybe a year, maybe two? I had a conversation with some of my Combat Paper brothers (well, the kids call them their combat paper uncles, so it follows…) that led to me writing the poem "Quartering." Which was informed by them, of course, and by all the rooms I'm in, and by imagining what is really required of all the caregivers I love. It's a thought experiment: if we tore down the barracks at military hospitals and offered incentives for Americans in the surrounding neighborhoods to quarter injured service members, what would the honest instructions…
