"The Great Slocum Dinner", according to the introduction, was by the authors listed above. These pieces relate to the "Dorr Rebellion", a brief armed uprising [1841-1842] in Rhode Island led by Thomas Wilson Dorr. The insurrection was precipitated by the increasing disenfranchisement of the citizens of Rhode Island, many of them recent Irish Catholic immigrants, who were unable to vote because of a requirement that voters own at least $134 of landed property.

Folio broadside (approx. 17½" x 12½") on linen, printed in black in triple column beneath the running head, all within a typographic border; somewhat faded (or lightly inked?), and with some miscreasing, but generally clean and attractive. At the head of the text: "Newport, Tuesday, June 25th, 1844." At least 2 other editions are known, and one of these was issued on silk. This is the speech given to the court by Thomas Dorr in Newport on June 25th, 1844. The sentence pronounced by Chief Justice Durfee is given at end. Not in American Imprints or Sabin. Difficult to get a good count from the OCLC records. DeSimone & Schofield 135 (noting 4 locations: RI Historical, Newport Historical, Providence Public, and Brown).

Folio broadside approx. 15" x 11". text in triple column beneath the running head, typographic filigree borders; slight chipping in the margins, the whole toned, and mounted; good. Several versions of Dorr's speech at his trial in Newport are known, one published by William Simons, Jr. (on silk and on blue paper), another by the Republican Herald Office (on silk and on blue paper), and another by A. H. Stillwell, also apparently in at least two versions (on white paper and blue paper). This version not recorded in OCLC or American Imprints. This is likely DeSimone & Schofield 135 (on white paper) and apparently trimmed to the border. The trial, held in Newport, was a travesty and an embarrassment. Dorr points out that all the jurors selected, and 147 out of 148 empaneled, were politically opposed to him. The decision and the judgment of the court, life imprisonment at hard labor, contained the seeds of its own defeat, brought about swiftly by public opinion. Within a year Dorr was released from prison, and in 1851 his civil rights were restored.

Previous folds, edge wear and short marginal tears and creasing; a good example. At least 2 other editions are known, and one of these was issued on silk. This is the speech given to the court by Thomas Dorr in Newport on June 25th, 1844. The sentence pronounced by Chief Justice Durfee is given at end. Not in American Imprints or Sabin.
