Beschreibung

Octavo, 224pp. A crisp, clean copy, very good or better in the publisher's brown blind-stamped cloth. Spine ends gently worn, and a touch if internal foxing, though most of the contents remain bright. Scarce volume which compiles a number of arguments on the question of "colonization," in this context referring to the efforts by some Abolitionists and others to create a colony of black Americans in Africa. Stebbins, an Abolitionist from upstate New York, was a correspondent of Frederick Douglass and an outspoken opponent of the colonization movement, on the grounds that it was unfair and unjust to African-Americans. Somewhat well-distributed among special collections libraries, although some records for physical holdings appear to be electronic/digital versions. Auction records are scant, and we note no other copies in commerce as of this listing. Rare. Work (p. 362), Sabin 91011. LCP Af-Am Cat. 9780. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 7156
