About this Item
Description:
84pp. 12mo. Dbd. Light soiling and age-toning, occasional foxing. Bottom margin of second leaf partially trimmed (no loss). A good copy. A brief compendium of spiritual and anti-slavery writings by British religious writer and mystic William Law, influential Quaker abolitionist Anthony Benezet, and other unidentified authors. The "Extract" is attributed to William Law, the "Remarks on the nature and bad effects of spirituous liquors" to Benezet, and the "Thoughts on Slavery" to various writers. "Considerations on war," which immediately follows the extract of Law's SPIRIT OF PRAYER, is unattributed. The brief remarks on slavery are consistently against the institution. A typical passage begins: "The Bondage we have imposed on the Africans is absolutely repugnant to justice." A fine gathering of spiritual and abolitionist writing printed in Philadelphia in the later 18th century. ESTC W32233, w032232. EVANS 16817. HILDEBURN 16817. Seller Inventory # WRCAM36583
