North Carolina:
JOURNALS OF THE ANNUAL CONVENTIONS OF THE DIOCESE OF NORTH CAROLINA, 1860-1870. PROTESTANT EPISCOPAL CHURCH.
11 Journals, 1860-1870. All printed in North Carolina, with the following imprints: 1860-1864, Fayetteville [by Hale]; 1865, Raleigh [Gorman]; 1866-1868 & 1870, Fayetteville; 1869, Raleigh [Littlefield]. Each Journal @60-128 pp. Bound together in later buckram. First editions, scattered fox and tan, none with original wrappers. Light scattered wear, corner repairs to several leaves of the 1864 Journal. Good+. A continuous run of these Journals encompassing North Carolina's most fateful decade, including four Confederate imprints. They are a rare and extraordinarily rich primary source of information on the sundering of the Church by Civil War, the role of the Church under wartime government, adaptations by the Clergy to the revolutionary circumstances; post-War reunification; and religious instruction of slaves and freedmen. Emancipation has resulted, "as regards the colored man," in the "rapid and almost universal deterioration in his moral condition." Thus the Church must take "bold, decisive, and definite action in his behalf" in order to "elevate his character." The Journals are a window on contemporary attitudes toward the momentous changes that occurred during the decade. FIRST EDITIONS. Parrish & Willingham 9191, 9192, 9193, 9194. Thornton 11214.

North Carolina:
PROCLAMATIONS BY THE GOVERNOR OF NORTH CAROLINA: TOGETHER WITH THE OPINION OF CHIEF-JUSTICE PEARSON, AND THE REPLY OF THE GOVERNOR.
Standard Steam Book and Job Print., Raleigh:, 1870
Original printed wrappers [spine and inner margin wear], stitched, 36pp. Lightly toned, lightly worn, Good+ or so. The subject of these proclamations is the Ku Klux Klan, the dangers it poses to law and order in North Carolina, and its threat to subvert its "constitutionally established" government. "The right of the people to have arms in their houses" is "sacred to freemen"; but "when, in time of peace, weapons of an extraordinary character are imported into the State by political organizations, and deposited and distributed in a secret manner among persons whose spokesmen deny the authority of the existing government, and who publicly declare that all government, to be authoritative and binding, must proceed alone from one race of our people...it is the duty of every officer and every citizen to be more than usually vigilant." Governor Holden warns of treason, publicizes the recent Act prohibiting persons from going masked or in disguise "with intent to terrify or frighten any citizen or community," proclaims that certain counties which have been taken over by the Klan are in a state of "insurrection", documents Klan atrocities, and orders the arrest of certain Klansmen. Justice Pearson, responding to a writ of habeas corpus from jailed Klansmen, agrees that the Governor has power to declare an insurrection but not to suspend the Great Writ. Holden refuses to obey; Pearson gracefully recedes, recognizing the limits of his judicial authority. FIRST EDITION. Thornton, Official Publications 1911.

[North Carolina]:
SOUTHERN SLAVERY CONSIDERED ON GENERAL PRINCIPLES; OR, A GRAPPLE WITH ABSTRACTIONISTS. BY A NORTH CAROLINIAN.
Rudd & Carleton, Publishers, New York:, 1861
Disbound without wrappers. Persistent upper area stain in inner corners, with occasional pencil marginalia, else a clean text. Good+. "Abstractionists," the author says, also known as "one-idea people, at all times are the bane of society." On the divisive issue of slavery, "remember, that it is one thing to answer this question in the quiet security of his domestic circle at the North, and quite another to live at the South, surrounded by the dear members of his family, and run the risk of having it answered for him, in a way that would appal his heart, however brave and noble its instincts. The peace of those beloved ones, if not the good of his country, and of the ignorant blacks themselves, would make him pause and ponder well, before removing from them the least restraint, which maddened abstractionists might dictate." Thornton 13097. Sabin 88488. LCP 9653. Not in Bartlett.
