[Slavery]

Verlag: American Anti-Slavery Society, [New York, 1855

36pp. Gathered signatures, stitched as issued. Minor edge wear, spotting, and soiling. Very good. The scarce second edition of this anti-slavery pamphlet, printed in New York by the American Anti-Slavery Society from the same "stereotype plates.without alteration" as the first edition printed in Hartford earlier the same year. The text focuses on an appeal to the American Tract Society to take a more vocal and concerted stand against slavery. The authors of the text accuse the American Tract Society of "suppression" of anti-slavery sentiment by censorship of certain works it publishes that speak against the institution, and an overall sin of "studied and persistent omission" by not itself issuing "a direct condemnation of the most giant iniquity of our land." The text is signed in print at the conclusion by "The Members of the Fourth Congregational Church, Hartford, Conn." The work was issued as the sixteenth entry in the American Anti-Slavery Society's "Anti-Slavery Tracts." SABIN 30676. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers WRCAM55824
