DL Consignment. Shelved Case 1. Just weeks before the conclusion of 1863, an anonymously authored pamphlet entitled MISCEGENATION began to appear on New York Newsstands. Its title, derived from the latin roots "misc" (to mix) and "gen" (genus), developed a scientific-sounding name for the concept of amalgamation, or interracial relationships. The twenty-five cent booklet was a statement apparently encouraging interracial marriage and procreation, even urging President Lincoln to include the tenet as a plank in the Republican Party's platform. Lincoln, preparing for re-election and continuing to endure the battle against the Confederacy, faced significant scrutiny regarding the pamphlet. Reporters begin to sling rumors around via print, such as one popular myth that tens of New England school teachers had intentionally given birth to biracial babies to support interracial unions. By June, the pamphlet achieved publication in England. Popular American abolitionist thinkers sent positive feedback when first given copies to review, which became more fuel for the anti-Lincoln fire when Democratic leader Samuel Cox argued that MISCEGENATION epitomized the Republican party's plans for society. In November of 1864, it was revealed that the pamphlet was a forgery, specifically designed to inflame Lincoln's enemies in the north. Democratic newspaper, New York World, devised the literary hoax to evoke a strong reaction against Lincoln's re-election. It was a failure, as Lincoln neither endorsed the work, nor lost the election. In his BIBLIOTHECA AMERICANA, Joseph Sabin cites Croly and Wakeman as having coined the word that remains in use today to describe the historical context surrounding interracial marriage laws. The word was appropriated by American poet Natasha Tretheway as the title of a ghazal reflecting on her own parents' experience navigating miscegenation in the 1960s, nearly 100 years later. 1400180.

Some pen & pencil underlining, a few passages struck through. Orig. blue cloth, spine lettered in gilt, boards blocked in blind; sl. worn, marked & dusted, spine a little darkened. Handwritten booklabel on leading pastedown. 91pp. Scarce in commerce; only two copies have appeared at auction. The term 'miscegenation' was coined in this hoax pamphlet, which was intended to prompt opposition to the abolition of slavery by stoking racist fears while purporting to be in favour of racial equality. One chapter is entitled 'Heart-Histories of the White Daughters of the South': 'It is idle for the Southern woman to deny it: she loves the black man and the raiment she clothes herself in is to please him'. Another chapter is entitled 'The Future - No White No Black'. The authors attempted to gull Abraham Lincoln into endorsing the work and sent him a copy, a request which he completely ignored.

Disbound. Zustand: Very Good. Not Stated (illustrator). First edition. A disbound but scarce copy Croly's famous work on intermarriage, considered to be a hoax designed to discredit the Lincoln Administration. A scarce work, disbound but intact. David Goodman Croly (1829-1889) was an American journalist, who became the editor managing editor of The World. He co-authored this work with George Wakeman as a pamphlet in 1863. This work is considered to be a literary forgery. The authors claim to be Abolitionists in favour of promoting intermarriage which, at that time, was seen as a threat to white supremacy. In reality, this work was published to stir up racist fears among white people, and to discredit the Abolitionist movement and the Lincoln Administration. This work coined the term 'miscegenation' for the intermixing of races. A fascinating and scarce piece of Civil War propaganda. Undated. Publication information gathered through copies held at the British Library. Disbound but intact. Externally fairly smart, though age toned, with remnants of the binding to the spine. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright and clean except for occasional offsetting. Very Good. book.
