Title: Selections from the Writings and Speeches of William Lloyd Garrison. With an appendix.
Author: William Lloyd Garrison
Publisher: R. F. Wallcut, Boston
Published: 1852
Binding: Hardcover
Language: English
Edition: 1st edition
Number of Pages: 416
Catalogs: Slavery, Abolition, New England
Description: First edition. Original brown cloth binding. Handsome gilding of front and back board embossed designs, and spine decoration. Page edges gilded as well. Some wearing to spine edges, and light foxing to free-front-endpapers and browning to interior pages near the end of the volume. Small bookplate pasted to yellow endpaper. The book is a collection of various writings by Garrison (1805-1879), who was an American abolitionist, journalist, and social reformer from Newburyport, Massachusetts. He was most known for his weekly anti-slavery newspaper, The Liberator, where his abolitionist writings appealed to the religious and moral conscience of readers. The book's preface includes some poetry dedicated to Garrison and his work. The selections include Garrison's own rationale for opposing the American Colonization Society (an organization promoting "resettlement" of blacks to territorial Africa), the declaration of sentiments of the American Anti-Slavery Convention, writings on Hungary's attempt to fend off the Austrian and Russian empires, and more. The appendix of these selected writings is mainly concerned with the mob violence at the proceedings of the Boston Female Anti-Slavery Society at Faneuil Hall, evidence that the American Colonization Society was not "hostile to slavery," and the sentiments of the free people of color on the matter in a number of states. Hardcover, near fine condition, 416 pages, 12mo.
