New York: The American Anti-Slavery Society, 1839. Second edition. Original cloth, gilt, decorated in gilt and blind. Gift inscription from Gerrit Smith, the abolitionist, to Austin Moore, dated 1843. Expertly re-backed with the original backstrip, gilt bright, Moore's ownership stamp. Gerrit Smith was a philanthropist and social reformer, cousin of Elizabeth Cady, one of the "Secret Six" (co-conspirators with John Brown), and was friend and colleague of Frederick Douglass. His daughter designed the costume made popular by Amelia Bloomer (www.nps.gov). Some gatherings are foxed. A Very Good copy.
