Papers, 1887.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/191259466

This Johnson manuscript is a review of Eli Thayer's (1819-1899) book, _The New England Emigrant Aid Company ..._ (Worcester, 1887). Thayer's book was critical of Garrison and other abolitionists, while Johnson's review, "The Abolitionist Vindicated ..." published in Worcester that same year by the Worcester Society of Antiquity, defended the abolitionists and dismissed Thayer's claim as "exaggerated" and "vituperative." Included with this manuscript are notes and letters. Two of the documents relate to the presentation of Johnson's paper before the Worcester Society of Antiquity. The paper was read by Samuel Joseph May (1797-1871), Johnson was ill, and included remarks by May and William Whitney Rice (1826-1896) introducing Johnson's paper. The collection also includes four miscellaneous letters from Johnson. There are also notes on remarks of Joseph Avery Howland (1821-1889) (before the Worcester Society of Antiquity?) concerning the Butman Riot in Worcester in 1854.
