City of Boston. Memorial Services in Honor of Ulysses S. Grant, at Tremont Temple, Thursday, October 22, 1885" Together with "a Ticket Stub from the Event

Boston, Rockwell and Churchill, Printers, 1885. First edition, large brochure; 10 3/4 x 8 1/4; pp. [4]; illustrated with an engraving of a stylized seal of Boston, curiously embelishing the original design with stacks of books around it and what-appears-to-be a magic lamp; two circular glue residue spots to upper margin of first page; old intersecting crease lines; in very good condition. Ticket stub, 1 1/4 x 3; ;ight-blue card stock, printed in black to recto; penciled-in manuscript note ("By Henry Ward Beecher..") and a small rubbed spot to verso; in very good condition. Tremont Temple's history dated back to 1839, when it was officially recognized as the First Free Baptist Church. It was co-founded by businessman, abolitionist, and president of the 1850 Boston Vigilance Committee Timothy Gilbert (1797 - 1865), who had been expelled from the New England Church in 1836 for inviting several African-Americans to join him in his pew. The church would be renamed Tremont Temple in 1843 and would become the first one in Boston to abolish pew rental fees. It would also become known as the "first integrated church in America," stating that "all who practice slavery or justify it shall be excluded from the church and its communion." It would quickly become tied to Boston's Underground Railroad and to the Suffrage Movement. It would also serve as a venue for public events and speeches, including Charles Dickens' first reading during his 1867–1868 tour of the United States. The current program, listing the order of exercises and printing several poems and songs in their entirety, was published in connection with the memorial services held at the temple and honoring Ulysses S. Grant. The event was organized by author, lecturer, abolitionist, and suffragist Julia Ward Howe (1819 - 1910), whose "Ode" was featured in the program; Unitarian minister, author, and ardent advocate of Darwinian Evolutionistic Optimism Minot Judson Savage (1841 - 1918); social reformer, abolitionist, brother of Harriet Beecher Stowe, and author Henry Ward Beecher (1813 - 1887); and others. OCLC lists one copy at Brown; none in the trade (as of January 2023). Very good .

HOWE, Julia Ward

Photograph Signed

Photograph. A fairly large image (7-1/4" x 9-1/4") mounted on 10" x 13" stiff board with the photographer's stamp at the bottom center "Alman & Co./436 Fifth Ave. N.Y./and Newport, R.I." depicting an elderly Howe holding a baby and surrounded by three family members including her two daughters who wrote the Pulitzer Prize winning biography of their mother. SIGNED in ink below the image: "Julia Ward Howe/Jan. 26th, 1904." The verso of the photograph is SIGNED by one of those daughters, Laura Richards: "Mrs. Henry Richards/Gardiner, Maine. Dampstaining nearly entirely restricted to the margins and mostly visible on the rear, hardly affecting the photograph and not touching Howe's signature. Very Good Howe, active in the women's suffrage movement, is perhaps best known as the author of "The Battle Hymn of the Republic," written at night near the beleaguered capital of Washington at the beginning of the Civil War. It earned her the grand total of $5 upon its publication in THE ATLANTIC MONTHLY along with the added bonus of instant and lasting fame. Later she became president of the New England Woman Suffrage Association as well as the Association of the Advancement of Women. Howe was honored as the first woman elected to the American Academy of Arts and Letters in 1908, two years before her death at 91. Signed photographs of Howe are quite scarce.
