Good. The second edition of this title, originally published a year earlier, by Stephen Symonds Foster, the radical abolitionist known for his anti-clerical diatribes and involvement in the cause of women's rights. "In 1844 [sic], Foster published The Brotherhood of Thieves, which indicted the chuch, slavery and anti-abolition mobs as the 'queer trinity.' Foster saw American clergymen as being guilty of crimes that would 'disgrace an Algerine pirate.' They upheld the violence, murder and robbery that defined slavery and were 'watch-dogs.' of southern plantations. Foster and [Parker] Pillsbury were known to disrupt worship many times being physically removed from churches." - Sinha, p. 472.

Description:
Washington: Murray Brothers, 1909. 8vo, wraps, 25 pp. Disbound with wraps present, good condition overall. Good. In 1909, after then-Senator Joseph Foraker had advocated on behalf of the soldiers involved in the Brownsville Affair, a ceremony was held in his honor at the A.M.E. Church in Washington D.C. in Foraker's honor in which he was presented with a Loving Cup by a group that included Archibald Grimke and John Wesley Cromwell. Offered here is the program from the evening, which reproduces the speeches of Cromwell, Grimke and Foraker in their entirety. Foraker had been portrayed by some as trying to collect African-American votes through his advocacy regarding the Brownsville case. In his speech, he says "I probably ought to say in justice to myself that I never had a selfish thought in regard to that matter." Four copies held institutionally.
