The Higher Law, in its Relations to Civil Government: With Particular Reference to Slavery, and the Fugitive Slave Law. By William Hosmer and printed in Auburn, Massachusetts by Derby and Miller. 1852, 204 pp, 7.25 x 5, 8vo, hardcover black cloth. In good condition, with minor rubbing and wear to boards and spine. Hinges remain in good condition and text block remains bound well. Light markings and marginalia. Some foxing, primarily at front of book around title page. E.M. Northrup written on front pastedown. General age-related toning to pages, along with periodic foxing and wear. Please see photographs and ask any questions prior to purchasing. A scarce and nicely-preserved piece by abolitionist William Hosmer (1810-1899) and dedicated to William Seward. E.M. Northrup may refer to Elizabeth Northrup, the daughter of Solomon Northrup (1808-?), an African American man kidnapped by slave catchers in the North until he won back his freedom in 1853. While a direct link cannot be proven, the Northrups and the author were both located in Upstate New York at the time. COLU1852CFJW-1123-aj0711. …
