Not illustrated. 1849 edition. Excerpt: ... facts, which embrace all his main arguments: They refuse to fellowship slaveholders as Christians. They array themselves in a hostile attitude toward their dissenting brethren, and destroy mutual confidence. They aim to alter the laws of the Church by forming associations within the pale of the Church. They would confine their patronage to such institutions and periodicals as favor their views. And finally, they are opposed to " Methodism as it is, as it was, and as it ever has been." These letters, six in number, were spread over the columns of Zion's Herald, averaging each more than three columns of a medium sheet. They were first published in the Christian Advocate, at New York, and afterwards copied into Zion's Herald of Boston. An able review and reply was prepared by Jotham Horton, a distinguished minister then stationed in Boston. His replies were characterized-by great candor, and kindness of manner, which commended them favorably to every reader, and did much to prevent any embarrassing influence among abolitionists, which otherwise might have been effected by Dr. Fisk's really able letters. Mr. Horton's reply to the positions of the Doctor embraced the following main points. The " divisions" God commands his Church to "avoid " are those "caused " by opposition, or "contrary to the doctrines" of righteousness and truth. Mr. Wesley's opinion of "all slaveholders" was quoted to sustain the non-fellowship doctrine of abolitionists. The "rancorous hostility" charged waa kindly disclaimed and disproved, while the necessity of revolting facts, and the propriety of their use, was maintained in view of the character of the evil to be removed, and the acknowledged importance of the overthrow of slavery. The right to promote changes in...

Reflecting a prodigious amount of research in primary and secondary sources, this book examines the efforts of American abolitionists to bring northern religious institutions to the forefront of the antislavery movement. John R. McKivigan employs both conventional and quantitative historical techniques to assess the positions adopted by various churches in the North during the growing conflict over slavery, and to analyze the stratagems adopted by American abolitionists during the 1840s and 1850s to persuade northern churches to condemn slavery and to endorse emancipation. Working for three decades to gain church support for their crusade, the abolitionists were the first to use many of the tactics of later generations of radicals and reformers who were also attempting to enlist conservative institutions in the struggle for social change. To correct what he regards to be significant misperceptions concerning church-oriented abolitionism, McKivigan concentrates on the effects of the abolitionists' frequent failures, the division of their movement, and the changes in their attitudes and tactics in dealing with the churches. By examining the pre-Civil War schisms in the Presbyterian, Baptist, and Methodist denominations, he shows why northern religious bodies refused to embrace abolitionism even after the defection of most southern members. He concludes that despite significant antislavery action by a few small denominations, most American churches resisted committing themselves to abolitionist principles and programs before the Civil War. In a period when attention is again being focused on the role of religious bodies in influencing efforts to solve America's social problems, this book is especially timely.

Antebellum slave narratives have taken pride of place in the American literary canon. One key aspect of the genre, however, has been left unexamined: its materiality. In Fugitive Texts, Michaël Roy offers the first book-length study of the slave narrative as a material artifact. Drawing on a wide range of sources, he reconstructs the publication histories of a number of famous and lesser-known narratives, placing them against the changing backdrop of antebellum print culture. Published to rave reviews in French, Fugitive Texts illuminates the heterogeneous nature of a genre often described in monolithic terms and ultimately paves the way for a redefinition of the literary form we have come to recognize as "the slave narrative."

Understanding the culture of living with hymnbooks offers new insight into the histories of poetry, literacy, and religious devotion. It stands barely three inches high, a small brick of a book. The pages are skewed a bit, and evidence of a small handprint remains on the worn, cheap leather covers that don’t quite close. The book bears the marks of considerable use. But why—and for whom—was it made? Christopher N. Phillips’s The Hymnal is the first study to reconstruct the practices of reading and using hymnals, which were virtually everywhere in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Isaac Watts invented a small, words-only hymnal at the dawn of the eighteenth century. For the next two hundred years, such hymnals were their owners’ constant companions at home, school, church, and in between. They were children's first books, slaves’ treasured heirlooms, and sources of devotional reading for much of the English-speaking world. Hymnals helped many people learn to memorize poetry and to read; they provided space to record family memories, pass notes in church, and carry everything from railroad tickets to holy cards to business letters. In communities as diverse as African Methodists, Reform Jews, Presbyterians, Methodists, Roman Catholics, and Unitarians, hymnals were integral to religious and literate life. An extended historical treatment of the hymn as a read text and media form, rather than a source used solely for singing, this book traces the lives people lived with hymnals, from obscure schoolchildren to Emily Dickinson. Readers will discover a wealth of connections between reading, education, poetry, and religion in Phillips’s lively accounts of hymnals and their readers.
