The Life and Age of Woman | Stages of Woman's Life from Infancy to the Brink of the Grave Item No. 1 [a bit of glare in photo] The Seven Stages of a Woman’s Life 1. Alden, Albert: THE LIFE AND AGE OF WOMAN | STAGES OF WOMAN'S LIFE FROM INFANCY TO THE BRINK OF THE GRAVE. [Barre, MA? c.1835-1840]. 18" x 21-1/2", visible printed area. Woodcut illustration, matted behind glass in attractive wood frame 27-1/2" x 30-1/4". Printed with black ink. Some wrinkling; loss to right blank upper corner. Else Very Good. A seven-figure image of seven stages of a woman's life: ages 1, 12, 18, 30, 50, 75, and 90. The figures stand upon pyramid steps; text printed beneath each illustration, all surrounded by a decorative border. A 30-year-old woman stands on the peak step,” at the zenith of her intellectual and physical powers." The 18-year-old, at "the most critical age in the life of a female," risks "bestowing [her affections] on man unworthily, or in vain" if she does not "first [give] her heart to God." The 50-year-old's "home is her castle" and her "time not spent in providing for her household is devoted to counseling her children, who at this time of her life are ready to go forth into society." The 90-year-old is a crone; "we see all that remains of her who at twelve and eighteen, tripped 'on th [sic] light fantastic toe.'" Alden's woodcut, "The Life and Age of Man," is well-known and based on the classical idea of the seven ages of man. This image of the seven ages of woman is less common. Currier and Ives did a version of this theme, copyright by Nathaniel Currier in 1850, showing eleven women from infancy to a centenarian. The Annual Report of the Library Company of Philadelphia for the Year 2004 puts the estimated date of this print at 1835 in Barre, Massachusetts. Several versions issued: one such had an imprint within the ornamental border; ours, like those in the collections of four institutions, has no imprint and no record of auction sales. Albert Alden [1812-1883] was a wood engraver, cartographer, and publisher in Barre, Massachusetts, from the 1830s to 1850s. His obituary states that he was in the book trade at Barnstable in his earlier years. He was State Senator from the Worcester District in 1852. His published works include images for ABCs, scientific illustrations, images for periodicals and almanacs, maps, and advertisements. He also published the Barre Gazette beginning in the 1830s; the Gazette continues to be published by Turley Publications, Inc. today.

He watched over South Carolina's "political welfare, with a sleepless vigilance- never failed to warn her of even distant danger- never hesitated to front every foe that assailed her." Captain John Fripp owned a large and lucrative plantation on St. Helena Island, Beaufort, South Carolina.

Philadelphia: Printed and Sold by John Dunlap, at the Newest Printing-Office, in Market-Street, 1771. 72pp. Disbound and lightly foxed, Good+. Thomas Secker, Archbishop of Canterbury, was a prominent defender of the Church of England and the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts. In the American Colonies, clergymen like Thomas Mayhew and Charles Chauncy attacked his efforts to establish the Church of England in America and to evangelize among the Americans. The struggle for independence of self-governing American congregations paralleled developing sentiment favoring political independence from the Mother Country. "In Massachusetts the attack on the evil of an over-all establishment of religion was a response to efforts of the Church of England to extend its influence into the heartland of American dissent" [Bailyn, Ideological Origins of the American Revolution 254]. Secker and his followers claimed that the Society's Charter mandated conversion, not only of Indians and Africans, but of white colonial 'heathen' as well. Like Secker, Blackburne was an English Anglican clergyman, but that was about the only thing they had in common. Blackburne, an admirer of John Locke, opposed Secker's "project of episcopizing America," a project which, according to Blackburne, ignored "how necessary it was to avoid all occasions of irritating the British Colonists of America." Referring to Secker's "petulant" pamphlet war with Mayhew, Blackburne scolds Secker's poor judgment and accuses him of "adding fuel to the flame." FIRST AMERICAN EDITION. Evans 11995. Hildeburn 2634.

Blair, Francis P.: A VOICE FROM THE GRAVE OF JACKSON! LETTER FROM FRANCIS P. BLAIR, ESQ., TO A PUBLIC MEETING IN NEW YORK, HELD APRIL 29, 1856. [Washington: Buell & Blanchard, 1856]. 15, [1] pp. Disbound, else Very Good. Caption title [as issued]. The Meeting supported the new Republican Party, opposing slavery in the National Territories. Writing from his home in Silver Spring, Maryland, the venerable member of President Jackson's Kitchen Cabinet denounces his Democratic Party, which has "betrayed" its Jacksonian roots, and "the sinister designs of the nullifiers of the South.

  • The Democratic Split During Buchanan's Administration
    THE DEMOCRATIC SPLIT DURING BUCHANAN'S ADMINISTRATION By REINHARD H. LUTHIN Columbia University E VER since his election to the presidency of the United States Don the Republican ticket in 1860 there has been speculation as to whether Abraham Lincoln could have won if the Democratic party had not been split in that year.' It is of historical relevance to summarize the factors that led to this division. Much of the Democratic dissension centered in the controversy between President James Buchanan, a Pennsylvanian, and United States Senator Stephen A. Douglas of Illinois. The feud was of long standing. During the 1850's those closest to Buchanan, par- ticularly Senator John Slidell of Louisiana, were personally antagonistic toward Douglas. At the Democratic national conven- tion of 1856 Buchanan had defeated Douglas for the presidential nomination. The Illinois senator supported Buchanan against the Republicans. With Buchanan's elevation to the presidency differences between the two arose over the formation of the cabinet.2 Douglas went to Washington expecting to secure from the President-elect cabinet appointments for his western friends William A. Richardson of Illinois and Samuel Treat of Missouri. But this hope was blocked by Senator Slidell and Senator Jesse D. Bright of Indiana, staunch supporters of Buchanan. Crestfallen, 'Edward Channing, A History of the United States (New York, 1925), vol. vi, p. 250; John D. Hicks, The Federal Union (Boston and New York, 1937), p. 604. 2 Much scholarly work has been done on Buchanan, Douglas, and the Democratic rupture. See Philip G.
