8vo. 99, [1] pp. Brown cloth stamped in brown; lightly soiled, rubbed. Very good. "BUCKLEY, James Monroe, clergyman, born in Rahway, New Jersey, 16 December, 1836. He was educated at Pennington, New Jersey, seminary, and entered the class of 1860 at Wesleyan University, but left during freshman year, to study theology at Exeter, New Hampshire In 1858 he joined the New Hampshire Methodist Episcopal conference on trial, and was stationed at Dover in that state. After proving his abilities at several small stations, he was transferred to Detroit, Michigan, in 1864, and to Brooklyn, New York, in 1866. He was a member of the general conference in 1872, 1876, and 1880, and in 1881 was a delegate to the Methodist ecumenical conference in London. The same year he was elected editor of the "New York Christian Advocate." Since 1866 he has been constantly assigned to the most important posts, and he is one of the most influential men among the denominational clergy. He received the degree of D. D. from Wesleyan University in 1872, and that of LL. D. from Emory and Henry College, Virginia. He has written "Two Weeks in the Yosemite Valley" (New York, 1873); "Supposed Miracles" (Boston, 1875); "Christians and the Theatre" (1877); "Oats or Wild Oats" (New York, 1885): and "The Land of the Czar and the Nihilist" (Boston, 1886)." â" Appleton's Encyclopedia. "Rev. Dr. James Monroe Buckley became editor of the New York Christian Advocate newspaper in 1880, using his pen and position to advance causes in which he believed. Buckley used his pen to advocate for the creation of Methodist Episcopal Hospital in Brooklyn in 1881. His editorial lamenting the accidental death of an organist due to lack of medical care in NYC inspired the funding of this first hospital in Methodism. Buckley served as president of its board for 35 years. In contrast to the laudable legacy of Methodist Hospital, Buckley was a strong opponent of women's rights, voicing his views in articles and in his book The Wrong and Peril of Woman Suffrage. He was a delegate to every ME General Conference (GC) from 1872 to 1912, and some observers called him the "Captain of Conservatives." In 1888, Buckley was a member of the special Committee on the Eligibility of Women that considered whether the five women elected by their annual conferences would be seated at the GC. The controversy centered on whether women could be considered "laymen." Buckley argued that they could not. The committee agreed with Buckley, and the GC accepted their report, rejecting seating the women by 237 to 198. The first female lay delegates to the GC would not be seated until 1904." - New York Annual Conference, Commission on Archives and History. [web-source].…
