description Item is the Thirty-sixth and FINAL Annual Report of the Philadelphia Female Anti-Slavery Society published in 1870 by Merrihew & Son of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.&nbsp; The cover and title page include a portion of John Greenleaf Whittier&#39;s poem <em>Laus Deo:</em> &quot;Send the tidings all abroad; With a sound of broken chains.&nbsp; Tell the nations that He reigns, Who alone is Lord and God!&quot;&nbsp; The first page is a list of oficers during the last five years: President Lucretia Mott, Vice-President Sidney Ann Lewis, Recording Secretary Gulielma Jones, Corresponding Secretary Mary Grew, Treasurer Annie Shoemaker and Managers Lucretia Mott, Hannah L. Stickney, Anna M. Hopper, Sarah H. Peirce, Rebecca S. Hart, and Rosanna Thompson.&nbsp; What follows is a history of the Society, the tactics used in its campaign against slavery and its annual fairs.&nbsp; It is perhaps necessarily a history of abolition and civil rights in the United States itself.&nbsp; The final treasurer&#39;s report is on page 30.&nbsp; The appendix includes the minutes of the meetings which organized the society, extracts from the final annual meeting of the Society, the official proclamation of the ratification of the 13th and 15th Amendments to the Constitution of the United States, and a Message from the President wrtten by U.S. Grant to the Senate and House of Representatives.&nbsp; The final pages include a section of John Greenleaf Whittier&#39;s poem <em>Pennsylvania Hall</em> and <em>Address </em>which were read at the dedication of Pennsylvnia Hall on May 15, 1838.&nbsp
