The first year after 1886 in which Oct 31 falls on a Saturday is 1891 so that is our best guess as to the date of this lecture.

481. [African Slave Trade Document] Inventory of the Chest of William, Black Man, Died on Board the Brig Columbia, 1807. Dated February 24th, 1807. Holograph scrap (in an unknown hand). Approx. 18cm. x 9cm. [See illustration at p. 47 in this catalog]. Creasing and a few tears. Bottom edge jagged. Folded blank flap along right edge on which has been written, what appears to be "Wm Sinasons[?] Inventory." His belongings consisted of One chist [chest], reser [razor?], lether box, spoon, knife, fork, jig, tinpot, 2 shirts, vieleen [violin?], a variety of patches, and two items that we couldn't decipher. The name of the Brig actually looks like Calundie, but the writer of the inventory was an indifferent speller. If we are correct as to the name of the ship, the Brig Columbia was on a slaving voyage to Africa. Caughtry's "The Notorious Triangle" says that the Columbia, a 102 ton brig, left Bristol, Rhode Island, on February 5, 1807, captained by William Lindsey and eventually bringing 112 slaves to Havana. Other material found in the same archive of papers also appears to relate to William Lindsey or the Brig Columbia. 3000.00

Rebacked (with most of original backstrip mounted). Cover corners worn. General soiling and wear. Good. Amelia Johnson was the wife of a prominent African-American minister (Harvey Johnson of the Union Baptist Church) from Baltimore. Her place of birth (in 1858 or 1859) is uncertain but it seems clear that she was educated in Montreal and moved to Baltimore in 1874 when she was 15 or 16 and then was married in 1877. Much of what we know about the author comes from the sketch in I. Garland Penn's "The Afro-American Press and Its Editors" [at pages 422-426]. "Clarence and Corinne" is her rare first novel which is the second published novel by an African-American woman (preceded only by "Our Nig"). Given Johnsons early residence (and birth?) in Canada, could it also be considered the first novel by a Canadian of African descent? Maxwell Whiteman missed this book in his bibliography but did include her 1894 novel ("The Hazeley Family") which was also published by the American Baptist Publication Society. Nothing in "Clarence and Corinne" identifies the author or any of her characters as African-American. Instead, it is a religious novel with a modern happy ending (Clarence and Corinne are both fully grown and happily married at the end of the novel, rather than dead and safe in heaven as is the case with so many 19th century religious novels about young people). For more detail (and some academic jargon) about the novel, see the introductory essay by Hortense J. Spillers in the 1988 Oxford reprint of the novel. OCLC lists only one copy of the original edition (at the University of Texas). 6000.00
