Beschreibung

VERY RARE ORIGINAL anti-slavery pamphlet, tan wraps, 64pp. Very Good with some chipping (see photo) and lower right corner clipped; remarkably tight. From the preface: "As a preliminary meeting of the citizens of Philadelphia, held on the evening of December 3d, 1859, at the Girard Hourse, Mr. James S. Gibbons was called to Chair, and Mr. Chancellor Bailey appointed Secretary. The object of the meeting having been stated ('The Union - It Must and Shall be Preserved'), the following gentlemen were appointed to make the necessary arrangements for a UNION DEMONSTRATION, rebuking all fanaticism, on Wednesday evening, December 7th." The pamphlet contains a report of the proceedings, from the daily papers of Philadelphia, and gives some idea of the success of the Committee's efforts. These meetings were important at this time in all efforts to preserve the Union and denounce slavery. A very important and rare document that is highly collectible.
