First Edition. New York: W. Mitchell., 1834. First edition. The Prophet Matthias Trial (1834): Contemporary Record of the Religious Commune That Shaped Sojourner Truth's Early Life Portrait [Trial]. [Truth, Sojourner]. Drake, W. E. Matthews, Robert ("Prophet Matthias") (1792-1841). The Prophet! A Full and Accurate Report of the Judicial Proceedings in the Extraordinary and Highly Interesting Case of Matthews, alias Matthias, Charged with Having Swindled Mr. B.H. Folger, of the City of New York, Out of Considerable Property. New York: Printed and published by W. Mitchell, 1834. Octavo (9-1/2" x 6"; 24 x 15 cm). 16 pp. Title-page with a striking woodcut portrait of Robert Matthews. Sewn self-wrappers. Light edge wear and minor chipping to margins, scattered foxing. A well-preserved, very good copy. $2,850. First edition of this scarce contemporary account of the judicial proceedings against Robert Matthews, the self-proclaimed prophet better known as "Prophet Matthias," whose sensational rise and fall became one of the defining religious and criminal scandals of the Jacksonian era. The collapse of Matthews's utopian "Kingdom" generated widespread newspaper coverage and an extensive pamphlet literature, illuminating the volatile intersection of evangelical revivalism, popular print culture, class tensions, and sensational criminal litigation in antebellum America. The pamphlet reports the proceedings arising from Matthews's alleged fraudulent acquisition of property from Benjamin H. Folger and reflects the broader controversy surrounding the death of the wealthy merchant Elijah Pierson, whose association with Matthews fueled intense public fascination. Although Isabella Baumfree-later celebrated as Sojourner Truth-is not named in this pamphlet, she lived and worked within Matthews's household during these events, making this an important contemporary document for one of the formative episodes of her early life. Truth devoted one of the most substantial sections of her Narrative of Sojourner Truth (1850) to her experiences with Matthews, recounting her introduction to the self-styled prophet, the disintegration of the commune, and the accusations that followed. After leaving the household, she successfully brought a slander action against one of her white accusers, an extraordinarily rare legal victory for a Black woman in antebellum America. This pamphlet documents the pub. New York: W. Mitchell., 1834. First edition. (illustrator).…

The map depicts the region from Florida and the Bahamas to northern part of South America and from Guatemala and western Cuba to the 'Caribee Islands,' the Winward and Leeward Islands. Each individual island is identified, and cities and towns are labeled throughout. Points, bays, and other coastal features are also labeled. A list just below the scale entitled 'possessions of the European Powers' groups the islands together by whichever colonial power 'possessed' them at the time. It does note, however, the Haiti was an independent republic. The whole is engraved and colored in Mitchell's distinctive style with green border work and vivid pastels.
