Edition Notes
Holograph, signed.
Includes envelope.
Thomas Wentworth Higginson reports on some legal aspects of the Anthony Burns case. He doubts that a Massachusetts jury will convict Theodore Parker. He tells about Asa O. Butman, a police officer who was driven out of Worcester by a mob for attempting to investigate the Burns case. He refers to the Woman's Rights Movement. Says that he is going to be tried in a federal court. Higginson writes: "The specialite to which I would like to devote myself for a year or two, had I time would be a History of Woman in Italy ---or more modestly--- a Literary History of Italian Women ... Mrs. S. J. Hale in her bulky book has drawn on the Italian sources & told more about them than any one else ..." Theodore Parker's sermon, "Women & Her Wishes," and Mrs. Stanton's "Appeal to the N.Y. Legislature" should be translated into French. Higginson said: "Lucy Stone with her usual energy has had a series of five tracts stereotyped." Higginson praises her eloquence. He criticizes the "Philosophie de XIXme Siecle," by Grespin(?).
