Susan B. Anthony Collection - Annotated Bibliography With Inscriptions.

In 1903 woman suffrage pioneer Susan B. Anthony (1820-1906) donated her personal library to the Library of Congress. During the winter holidays of 1902-03 Anthony prepared her books that lined shelves in the study of her Madison Street home in Rochester, New York, for shipment to Washington. In many of the volumes Anthony added thoughtful reflections about the author or the donor or what the book meant to her or to the movement. These personal annotations offer a rare opportunity for Anthony to share her remembrances of her contemporaries and the value she placed on the literature she collected.

In addition to the official reports of national suffrage conventions, addresses made at Congressional hearing, suffrage campaign literature, and files of reform periodicals, Anthony's library contains thirty-three extensive scrapbooks filled with newspaper clippings, programs, and other memorabilia that Anthony created between 1855 and 1900, which document the persistent progress of the suffrage movement and the gradual change in public attitudes. A number of volumes formerly owned by or presented to Anthony by family, friends, and admirers offer further insights into her personal relationships and contemporary reading habits. For an outstanding overview of Anthony's library that highlights some of Anthony's most interesting annotations, see Leonard N. Beck's “Library of Susan B. Anthony” in the Quarterly Journal of the Library of Congress, vol. 32, no. 4, October 1975, p. 324-335.

This bibliography is arranged by author and title in shelflist order, followed by transcribed inscriptions. Editor's notes are in italics.

Lucy Colman was a Rochester abolitionist and suffragist who lectured as agent for American Antislavery Society in Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois. Colman relates stories of spiritualism and traditional religions. As matron at National Colored Orphan Asylum, she helped restore health of children and supported the removal of a wicked teacher. Colman reports taking Sojourner Truth to meet Abraham Lincoln. Colman didn't think Mary Surratt was guilty, but was wronged by men who arrested, tried, and hung her. Colman visits Richmond after the war. Includes a biographical sketch of her friend Amy Post, a staunch abolitionist and suffragist.

SBA folded page corners of page 18 and marked with blue pencil a reference to herself in Colman's account of being asked by Anthony to prepare an essay for a NY state teachers' convention, where Colman spoke against corporeal punishment in schools.

Anna Ella Carroll (1815-1894), daughter of a Maryland governor, was an accomplished political writer whose war powers pamphlets provided legal reasoning for Lincoln's actions at the beginning of the Civil War. Her role as a military strategist has been a source of continuing controversy. Although Carroll collected significant documentation in support her claim that she had proposed the Tennessee campaign of 1862, recent scholarship suggests that Carroll's claims were exaggerated. Eventually Congress did grant her a small pension.

Sarah Ellen Blackwell (1828-1901), sister of the Doctors Elizabeth and Emily Blackwell, art teacher and reform writer, was engaged by suffragists to compile Carroll's biography and Civil war pamphlets and documents to support their contention that recognition was withheld only because Carroll was a woman operating in the male sphere.

Ernestine Rose (1810-1892), friend of Anthony and founding leader in the women's rights movement, encourages women to actively seek equality and work with men to elevate all humanity.

Weld's letter is followed by a reprinting of Samuel May's letter to the October 1850 Worcester, Mass. Woman's Rights Convention, strongly supporting gender equality.

Matilda Joslyn Gage (1826-1898), friend and colleague of Anthony and a founding leader in the women's rights movement, contends that it is learning, energy and perseverance that determine a successful life, not one's sex. Education is the key to changing unjust laws.

Benjamin Franklin Tefft (1813-1885), Methodist minister and President of Genesee College, Lima, N.Y., 1851-1854, champions equal education for men and women, the mind and soul being neither male nor female. Both sexes should be educated equally and together.

James Harris Fairchild (1817-1902) was professor of Mathematics and later President of Oberlin College, the first American coeducational college. He argues that joint education of the sexes is not only the most economical, but provides the best social and moral influences, as well as the best learning experience.

A Speech by Mrs. C. I. H. Nichols, Worchester, 1851. 18 p.

In her preface to a later printing, Lucy Stone explains that in 1853 she compiled this selection of early speeches on woman's rights because they clearly set forth the meaning and scope of the often misunderstood movement. She sold copies of the tracts at women's rights meetings to help pay for the halls and advertising.

Anthony reprints these tracts with a new paper cover under the title Series of Woman's Rights Tracts. On the front cover she first notes in pencil: "I have the stereotype plates of all in this pamphlet-5 tracts." And then: " no-no-all are lost-1898!" On the back cover this series is listed among seven titles that could be obtained from Anthony in Rochester.

Inscribed: Miss A arranged for this address, had copies printed and laid on desks of every member (Anthony adds "of the Legislature.")

According to the appendix, on February 20, 1854, petitions that had been approved at the Rochester Convention, December 1, 1853, were presented. One, signed by nearly 6,000 men and women, requested that the NY statutes be amended to establish legal equality of women with men; another, signed by over 4,000 men and women, requested that the state constitution be amended to secure equal suffrage for women.

Ann Preston (1813-1872), who graduated in the first class of the Female Medical College of Pennsylvania and became its first female professor and first female dean, was a leader in women's medical education.

Includes testimonies of Henry Ward Beecher, William Lloyd Garrison, Thomas W. Higginson, Samuel E. Sewall and Gerrit Smith.

Beecher (1813-1887) and Brady (1815-1869) spoke in support of efforts to encourage employers to reduce working women's hours and to establish a library for working women that would include a reading room and instruction toward improvement in their working opportunities.

Anthony identifies Thomas W. Higginson as the compiler. Includes excerpts of a 1857 speech by Lucy Stone reporting state legislative progress, favorable reports from Ohio and Wisconsin legislatures, and 1850 statistics on male and female wages in cotton and woolen factories and teaching.

Stanton applauds women who succeed in men's roles in crisis situations as well as the crusading spirit of Abby Kelley (1811-1887), controversial radical abolitionist organizer.

Higginson believes a new era has come and that women and men should have equal opportunity. All should learn the alphabet, be able to acquire property, and be allowed to vote.

Stanton considers this statement to be false. No woman has all the rights she needs for herself or for her less fortunate sisters.

Sedgwick encourages women to prepare for domestic management to support husband and children or single independence through teaching, medicine, or social charities.

English feminist Barbara Bodichon (1827-1891) advocates for professional training for women as nurses, doctors, journalists, teachers, and artists.

This speech was given several times at anti-slavery meetings in New York in reaction to the treatment Stanton and Anthony had received in Buffalo in January 1861 where their meeting was interrupted by an unruly mob.

Headquarters of the campaign committee is listed as 17 Madison St., Rochester, Anthony's residence.

George William Curtis (1824-1892), writer and social reformer, objects to women being classed with lunatics and felons and offers justification for his amendment that calls for equal suffrage in the New York Constitution.

John Stuart Mill's amendment to extend suffrage to women lost, 73 to 196.

Lists tracts available from Anthony, Secretary of American Equal Rights Association, 37 Park Row, New York.

Beecher contends that it is woman's duty to participate in public affairs and that when she wants it and demands it, it will be granted. Includes Beecher's remarks in 1857 calling for universal suffrage for women and blacks.

John Hooker (1816-1901), Hartford lawyer and court reporter was the husband of Isabella Beecher Hooker and a vice president of the Connecticut Woman Suffrage Association, which Isabella founded. Hooker contends that scriptural authority is not against woman suffrage and that Christ's teachings encourage equality of men and women at home and in the state.

There is no HQ114.M5 no. 26.

George Hickox (1830-1903), lawyer, publisher of the Litchfield Enquirer, and a vice president of the Connecticut Woman Suffrage Association, cites common law and statutes in outlining a husband's legal right to custody of his wife, their children, and her property. He contends that these laws lead to repression of the development of females and advocates for greater independence and joint responsibility that would produce a superior type of womanhood.

Anna Ella Carroll (1815-1894), political lobbyist and advisor to Lincoln, alleged that she had suggested the plan for the Tennessee Campaign and should be compensated for her military service. Although her memorial included testimonials from influential men in government, it was years before a small pension was finally granted to Carroll for her Civil War service.

Senator William H. Seward (1801-1872), campaigning for Lincoln and the Republican Party, calls for limiting slavery to the original slave states and not permitting it to be extended to the territories.

A newspaper clipping pasted on the inside cover lists dates of fourteen Kansas suffrage meetings in October and November 1867 where George Francis Train and M. W. Reynolds were scheduled to speak. Below it is this inscription:

And Susan B. Anthony attended all of these meetings with Mr. Train-Mr M. W. Reynolds having gone off on a Buffalo Hunt. With all of Mr. Train's oddities, he would make speeches on womans wrongs that could be equaled only by John B. Gough himself. Whether my doing so meets the approval of future generations or not, let them remember that no other man-except Parker Pillsbury and Robert Purvis-stood with us through this fearfully alone period for Mrs. Stanton and myself. Susan B. Anthony, Rochester, N. Y. Jan. 1, 1903.

In addition to his stump work on the 1867 Kansas suffrage campaign, eccentric Boston businessman George Francis Train (1829-1904) financially helped launch Anthony's suffrage newspaper, The Revolution, in 1868.

Robert Purvis (1810-1898) was an African American abolitionist. John B. Gough (1817-1886) was a temperance orator. M. W. Reynolds was publisher of the Daily State Journal, a Lawrence, Kansas, Democratic newspaper.

Faced with a strong anti-woman suffrage campaign by Kansas Republicans and lack of support among Democrats, Anthony and suffrage activists failed in their efforts to win the November 1867 referendum to amend the Kansas constitution to permit woman suffrage.

Jones, who dedicates his speech to the Woman's Club of Washington, D. C., advocates early marriage as means to eradicating prostitution and supports extending the vote to women.

Anthony identifies the author as "Sarah (sic) J. Spencer."

Proposed legislation would require police commissioners to compile a list of all bawdy houses and the occupants for use by police and Board of Health and require weekly visits by an assigned physician for sanitary inspection, to inquire regarding the causes leading to prostitution and to assist any that desire to abandon that life.

Includes quotes from prominent supporters of equal suffrage including U.S. Senators B. F. Wade and H. B. Anthony, Henry Ward Beecher, Thomas Wentworth Higginson, Wendell Philips, Gerrit Smith, and John Stuart Mill.

Caroline Burnham (1838-1909), leader of Philadelphia Citizens' suffrage association and the suffrage committee of International Workingmen's Association, fought for woman suffrage through legislative and constitutional reform and by testing judicial interpretation. After many years of persistent effort she became in 1883 the first woman to receive a University of Pennsylvania law degree and in 1890 was admitted to practice law before the U. S. Supreme Court.

This association, which was an auxiliary of the National Woman Suffrage Association, contended that suffrage for women was needed to secure suffrage for men.

Burnham's arguments fell on deaf ears, as the Constitutional convention voted to explicitly limit the right of suffrage to males.

As President of the National Woman Suffrage Association, Gage presents a memorial of women citizens requesting suffrage for the women of the District of Columbia in the Centennial year.

Mrs Rose got only six names to a petition-how is that for just maried women to own their own property? Susan B. Anthony, Rochester, N.Y., Jan. 1. 1902 (sic.)

Thomas Herttell (1771-1849), a freethinker and New York City judge, proposed the first married women's property legislation to the New York Assembly in 1837.

Rose's petition in support of married women's property rights was one of the first actions by the feminist reformer Ernestine Rose (1810-1892) after emigrating from Poland via London in 1836. New York's Married Property Rights Act of 1848 became a model for other states' legislation

Anthony dated this item as January 1849.

Timothy Walker (1806-1856), author of the acclaimed Introduction to American Law and editor of the Western Law Journal, suggests that women's legal right to hold property and make contracts is gradually improving, but political rights to suffrage and office holding will continue to be denied, except for the power of women's ability to persuade and influence.

Caroline M. Severance (1820-1914), woman suffragist, continued to organize women and support women's issues throughout her life.

Below a printed request by Susan F. Porter, President, Rochester Anti Slavery Sewing Society, that Douglass furnish 100 copies of this speech for distribution is Anthony's inscription:

Elizabeth Oakes Smith (1806-1893) wrote and lectured on women's rights during the decade of the 1850s. In this essay on marriage, first printed in the New York Tribune in March 1851 as Woman and Her Needs. No. VI, she advocates for equality in marriage, not to be undertaken before reaching majority.

Theodore Parker (1810-1860) contends that to limit women to the role of housekeeper, wife and mother, is to waste positive energies that could improve public affairs.

Lawyer Francis Minor (1820-1892) here contends that by the citizenship clause of the 14th amendment to the U.S. Constitution women have dual citizenship and as federal citizens have a right to vote for federal officers and that states can only limit suffrage for state officers. He had cited the citizenship clause in representing his wife Virginia in her 1872 voting rights case against Missouri in which the Supreme Court upheld suffrage as a state right.

John James Ingalls (1833-1900), Kansas politician and U. S. Senator, 1873-1891, did not support a suffrage amendment to the Constitution, contending that woman suffrage was the domain of state legislatures. He argues against increasing the number of illiterate voters and contends that the majority of women do not want to vote.

Charles B. Waite (1824-1909) was a Chicago lawyer and former associate justice of the supreme court of the Utah territory. He contends that suffrage is a right of citizenship that existed before state legislatures or the federal constitution.

Waite asserts that women had the right to elective franchise by common law in England and in the colonies well into the 19th century, which should be restored by striking the word "male" from state constitutions and amending the federal constitution.

Eliza Farnham (1815-1864), American writer and feminist, was an advocate of female superiority. Although not embracing the methods of the women's rights movement, she supported any progress that enabled mothers and homemakers in their role to provide moral and spiritual guidance.

British ethics writer Frances Power Cobbe (1822-1904) was an influential defender of women's and animal rights. She condemned the degradation of women, particularly male violence against married women, arguing that marriage often deprived women of resources and made them dependent on men. She believed that women's higher education and political emancipation were essential means to women fulfilling their social duty to contribute to the virtue and happiness of mankind by facilitating social reform. These lectures were originally given in London in 1879 and published in 1881. Noting that the women's movement is in a critical transitional period of uplift, she warns that the conduct of women themselves will determine whether progress is sustainable. She then prescribes rules of appropriate feminist conduct, claiming that women's domestic activity guarantees the rightness of feminist political activity. Duties of Women was reprinted by feminist and suffrage activists in Great Britain and the United States because of its potential appeal to women who might not initially identify as feminists. See Susan Hamilton's Frances Power Cobbe and Victorian Feminism, 2006.

Victoria Woodhull argues that the 14th and 15th amendments secured suffrage for women that cannot be denied by the states.

The memorialists request that Congress promptly enact a law to protect women in exercising their constitutional right of suffrage.

The committee concludes that the fifteenth amendment recognizes the states right to limit suffrage on any account except “race, color, or previous condition of servitude.”

Gage, President of the National Woman Suffrage Association, and Sara Spencer, Secretary of the District of Columbia Woman Franchise Association, call for Congress to grant suffrage to women and men in the District before celebrating the Centennial.

Twelve delegates of the National Woman Suffrage Association, including current president Dr. Clemence Lozier, speak in support of woman suffrage; Madeline Vinton Dahlgren speaks against it.

The majority of the Senate Committee on Privileges and Elections recommends indefinite postponement due to various reasons including lack of support by the majority of women and significant improvements in condition of women without suffrage.

Anthony highlighted her comments explaining that state legislatures composed of intelligent, thinking men could approve a national suffrage amendment, while constituencies with many ignorant voting men would not support change to state constitutions to allow woman suffrage.

E. G. Lapham, T.M. Ferry, and H. W. Blair recommend that the Senate pass the resolution and submit the proposed amendment to the states.

J. Z. George, Howell E. Jackson, and James G. Fair recommend rescinding the resolution and leaving the states to decide on woman suffrage.

House select committee recommends the suffrage amendment be submitted to the state legislatures.

Anthony notes that this is the sixteenth year that women have appeared before Congress requesting protection for women in their exercise of their right to vote. Since efforts to change four state constitutions have failed, she appeals to Congress to lift the decision from the populace to the state legislatures by approving the national amendment. Anthony is pleased by the number of committee members present at both the House and Senate hearings.

Reprints reports of House and Senate and includes additional comments by Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Matilda Gage.

Committee recommends Senate pass resolution and submit suffrage amendment to state legislatures. Includes arguments by delegates from the National Woman Suffrage Association, March 7, 1884.

Palmer summarizes the progress of the suffrage movement, refutes objections to woman suffrage, notes contributions of women to war and social issues and supports submission of the amendment because the Nation needs the cooperation of women in solving economic and social challenges.

The majority report of Henry Blair, Thomas Palmer, Jonathan Chance, and Thomas Bowen, again as in the two previous Congresses, recommends that the Senate submit the suffrage amendment to the state legislatures.

Joseph Brown and F. M. Cockrell submit excerpts from "Letters from a Chimney Corner" by a Chicago anti-suffragist, and resubmit their report to the 48th Congress, maintaining that suffrage is a states' rights issue.

Inscribed by Anthony: Reports Hon. Ezra B. Taylor, 1886

Dissenting from the majority of the House Committee on the Judiciary that reported the resolution adversely without comment, the minority, E. B. Taylor, W. P. Hepburn, L. B. Caswell, and A. A. Ranney are in support of adopting the resolution. Women need the vote for their own good and the good of others.

Senate debate includes recording an extensive list of men that are against woman suffrage, a letter from Clara T Leonard, and a pamphlet "The Law of Woman-Life" by Adeline D. T. Whitney. Results of voting: yeas 16, nays 34, absent 26. Two thirds did not vote for the resolution, so it did not pass.

Arguments in support of woman suffrage are presented by delegates to the International Woman's Council, including statements by Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Julia Ward Howe, Susan B. Anthony, and Frances Willard, as well as foreign delegates from England, Norway, Finland, and France.

Stanton acknowledges support of Congressmen, living and dead, who have supported the cause of woman suffrage for a quarter century. In the margin near the paragraph in which Stanton warns that ignoring women's appeal for justice is causing growing discontent that is dangerous to the State and the family, Anthony has penned "This brought down the house." Stanton urges Congress to pass a bill that would protect women in their right to vote for members of Congress, while awaiting the longer process of ratifying the suffrage amendment. The last paragraph has been clipped.

For the majority of the committee, Henry Blair reports favorably, recommending passage of the resolution.

Susan Anthony introduces several younger women state delegates to the National Woman Suffrage Association convention at the January 20, 1892 hearing of the Senate Select Committee on Woman Suffrage, including Alice Stone Blackwell, Clara Bewick Colby, Isabella Beecher Hooker, and Anna H. Shaw. Anthony notes this is the 23rd year of appeals in person and the 27th year by petition for suffrage protection.

Elizabeth Cady Stanton, president of the National Woman Suffrage Association, addressed the House Committee on the Judiciary. Lucy Stone addressed the committee for the first time, stressing the power of the vote and woman's need for the vote in order have her interests heard and honored by legislatures.

The majority favorably reported and recommended passage, explicitly stating their support of equal suffrage.

Inscribed by Anthony: Miss Rachel Foster Avery presiding

Alice Stone Blackwell responds to Senator Wolcott's questions regarding changes in women's participation in states where they can vote. Anna Diggs discusses women voting in municipal elections in Kansas. Clara Bewick Colby of Nebraska answers questions about women voting in Wyoming. Hearing concluded with remarks by National Woman Suffrage Association Vice President Anna Shaw.

Inscribed by Anthony: This is the only copy of the Hearing of the House in 1894-the first at which Rev Anna Howard Shaw Presided-no she made a speech and Miss Anthony Presided.

William Lloyd Garrison and Henry Blackwell speak in support of woman suffrage along with several women addressing women's fitness to vote in relation to their mental, moral, and physical development.

Includes reports on various subjects related to woman suffrage. Ellen Price discusses school and other limited suffrage and provides a table, chronologically arranged, of limited woman suffrage. Woman suffrage in Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, Idaho, and foreign countries are discussed.

Clara B. Colby presents a detailed summary of suffragists' work with Congress during the past thirty years, naming Congressmen who supported the cause and those in opposition. Laura Johns reports on municipal suffrage in Kansas, including women holding offices. Jessie Cassidy Saunders reports on woman suffrage in foreign countries and provides tables that show specific progress. Anthony stresses the need to submit a suffrage amendment to state legislatures, noting that acquiring suffrage by popular vote is impossible, mostly due to the negative immigrant vote.

Mrs. Arthur M. Dodge speaks for women opposed to woman suffrage, noting that the suffrage is the sovereign right of states. Emily Bissell and Mrs. Joel T. Vail further contend that Anthony is leading a minority movement that is not representative of the majority of women.

Carrie Chapman Catt introduces delegates from the International Woman Suffrage Conference representing Australia, Russia, Sweden, Norway and England. Testimonials follow for success of woman suffrage in Wyoming and Idaho. Then noting that testimonials are not always given authority, Catt asks that the committee request that the House appoint a commission to investigate the results of woman suffrage in operation.

On February 18, 1902, the Senate committee heard statements from National American Woman Suffrage Association representatives and several foreign suffragists. Susan B. Anthony notes that women have addressed the committee for thirty-three years and the only thing that they have gotten from the committee is printings of the hearings.

Inscribed: Dr. Buchan was the Law & gospel of my dear mother-Lucy Read Anthony from 1830. She read & knew everything this book contains-for years it was kept hidden away from us children--and when we would know its contents, she, to save us from a knowledge of Maternity, cut out the leaves from page 396 to page 423-and pasted over the table of Contents-page xxxvii-"The Right of Petition from John Quincy Adams' letter to his constituents"-- which must have been written in 1837-when I was 17 years old. And then the blotting out from the Index pages xxxix & xl-all references to the expurgated pages of the book. This all shows how carefully our mother watched over us that we might not know of the Mysteries of Life. Susan B. Anthony, December 25, 1902

Inscribed: This Homeopathic Domestic Practice for "the well educated heads of families" must have been bought [by] my dear mother as early as 1858-and henceforth it became her authority-it took the place of old Dr. Buchan-and Dr. Guernsey was the law and Gospel. My sister Hannah L. Anthony Mosher visited us at the Farm-her child was taken violently ill. And when we got Dr. Matthews there-three miles in the country-he said they had given just the right medicine. My sister always carried a little case of medicines. Then in 1851 I had become acquainted with Elizabeth Cady Stanton and she was a believer in homeopathy, under Dr. Byard of New York, so with all these influences I have been a disciple of Homeoana from that day to this. Susan B. Anthony, Dec. 25. 1902.

Inscribed in unknown hand: From Amy Post, Mary H. Hallowell, Susan B. Anthony

Inscribed by Anthony: These books-from 1846 to 1865-were taken from the old papers of Elias & Rhoda DeGarmo, Isaac & Amy Post, William & Mary Hallowell, Daniel & Lucy Anthony. The Liberator was the law and the gospel to them and it was read religiously by them & their families. The Congressional Library, Washington, D. C., Susan B. Anthony, 17 Madison street, Rochester, N.Y., Jan. 1. 1903

William Lloyd Garrison (1805-1879) founded the Liberator, a weekly anti-slavery newspaper in 1831 to encourage the cause of immediate emancipation and continued publication until 1865. The Liberator also because a strong supporter of women's rights, especially woman suffrage.

Rhoda DeGarmo (1798-1873), Amy Post (1802-1889) and her step daughter Mary Post Hallowell (1823-1913) were all radical Quakers and anti-slavery activists. DeGarmo and Post were also early proponents of women's rights and helped organize the August 1848 Rochester Women's Rights Convention.

Inscribed on pasted in paper slip: There is missing the volume which contains the years 1850 & 51-it was loaned and never brought back.

Anthony, 17 Madison street, Rochester, N.Y., Jan. 1. 1903

Inscribed: As I read over the stiring words spoken by all these Men-Phillips, Garrison, Pillsbury, I marvel that the nation was so long in getting stired to its depths and then I marvel that the men did not see that the quest of Liberty & peace could not be settled until all the people-women as well as men were enfranchised-had the power to make & enforce the laws. These papers were taken from the files of Elias & Rhoda De Garmo, Isaac & Amy Post, William & Mary Hallowell & Daniel & Lucy Anthony. They had been read & re-read by them, their families & neighbors & friends-And now they go with all their blessed memories to the Congressional Library, Washington, D. C. from Susan B.

Boston abolitionist John A. Collins (1810-1879) was a lecturer and fundraiser for the American Anti-Slavery Society. Between July 1840 and December 1842 he edited this Society serial as a means of educating the general public to the evils of slavery and encouraging contributions to the cause of immediate emancipation. No issues were published between March and August 1841 while Collins was fundraising in England. Maria Weston Chapman, Wm. Lloyd Garrison, J. G. Whittier, and Lydia Maria Child were frequent contributors.

Inscribed: These were as nearly complete files as could be made from the old papers saved by Elias & Rhoda De Garmo, Isaac & Amy Post, William & Mary Hallowell & Susan B.

This included the John Brown year-he was hung Dec. 2, 1859, on which evening we had a meeting in dear old Corinthian Hall-Parker Pillsbury making the main address of which Saml. D. Porter said it was the only occasion that ever matched Parker Pillsbury's adjectives-he might use the superlative degree and not seem extravagant!!

Inscribed: The volume of 1862 & 1863 is near a complete file as could be gathered from the papers taken by Elias & Rhoda De Garmo, Isaac & Amy Post, William & Mary Hallowell & Daniel & Lucy Anthony. They were religiously read by all the four families and their friends-and the hope that the war would end slavery made them all forego their non-resistant doctrine for the moment. These were fearful times-the two sections arrayed against each other in war. An account of the Women's League will be found on May 2d, 23d, & 30th of 1863. The Congressional Library, Washington, D.C. Susan B. Anthony 17 Madison street, Rochester, N.Y., Jan. 1. 1903

Further inscribed: See May 28, 1864 for report of the Women's Loyal League. They suspended all work for woman's enfranchisement during the war and rolled up a petition of 365,000 for immediate emancipation-feeling sure woman's turn would come next-but alas it has not come yet-a whole forty years and still we wait.

Inscribed: This Ballot Box -started in 1876-was the first paper friendly to the National W. S. Association after the dispension of The Revolution in 1870. So we had, for six years, no representation in the woman suffrage press. The Ballot Box was edited by Mrs. Sarah R Langsdon Williams of Toledo-who transferred it to Mrs. Matilda Joslyn Gage, Syracuse, N.Y. and added the name of National citizen-so sure was Mrs. Gage and many others that U.S. citizenship carried with it-the suffrage-and it will too-in the by and by when political expediency is rolled away.
