About this Item
Broadside, 9-1/4" x 10-1/8." Printed in three columns, with 2-3/4" of footnotes at the bottom. Docketed in ink on verso, "Horace Mann | and | Matthew Hale Smith | 1847." Some bleedthrough on the recto. Old vertical fold. Good+. Smith and Mann engaged in an increasingly bitter pamphlet war during the 1840s. Smith's latest complaint resulted from Mann's "article of more than nine pages on the life and character of the late David Perkins Page. Mr. Mann had no such intimacy with Mr. Page as to justify him in writing his obituary." His only purpose in writing the article was, in "maligning the dead," to "strike at the living." Mann is an overall terrible guy: "Mr. Mann has been a teacher. He is remembered as one of the most cruel of his class." He "has made it a rule to abuse and vilify all who fall not down and admire him." His "irreligious influence," "libelling," "revolting ridicule of the Bible," are hallmarks of his ugly character. OCLC 80444049 [2- AAS, MA Hist. Soc.] as of April 2024. Seller Inventory # 39943
