Peace-Republicans' Manual; or, the French Constitution of 1793. First edition of this collection of radical documents, tracts, and writings in French and English, compiled and edited from numerous sources by the Dutch feminist and pamphleteer, intended as a manual for pacifists.Hulshoff (1781-1846), having completed a two-year sentence in her own country for her political publications and wanted for her pamphlet against the Napoleonic conscription, lived in voluntary exile in New York from 1811 to 1820. She notes in the preface that she is only the publisher of these texts and encourages others to reprint it from the "small number of copies printed in this favoured Land, where sound reasonings and unperverted accounts of facts can be freely published". Included are extracts from the works of Thomas Paine, Cato, Rousseau, Joseph Fawcette (his poem "Civilized War"), anti-war sermons, and the French Constitution of 1793.
