About this Item

Second edition; originally published by Oberlin in 1847. Chipping to spine head, with a bit of wear to corners and spine foot. Binding tight; pages clean with foxing throughout. Elaborately subtitled 'A Narrative of the Arrest, Trial, Conviction, Imprisonment, Treatment, Observations, Reflections, and Deliverance of Work, Burr, and Thompson, Who Suffered an Unjust and Cruel Imprisonment in Missouri Penitentiary, for Attempting to Aid Some Slaves to Liberty.' Alanson Work, James E. Burr, and Thompson were abolitionist students arrested in 1841 for attempting to liberate slaves, tried and found guilty of grand larceny, sentenced to a dozen years of hard labor, and pardoned by the governor of Missouri in 1845 and 1846. Work published several editions throughout the 1850s. 377 pages.

Store Description

Hi all! I've been accumulating volumes for well over half my life, mostly autographed and inscribed copies. Wrote a book on book collecting for a Random House imprint in 2004 and another, "Book Collecting Now: The Value of Print in a Digital Age," for Chatwin Books, published in 2019. I intended to keep most of these books forever, but my wife and I decided to move to Manhattan, which meant downsizing from an enormous suburban house, with practically unlimited bookshelf space, to an apartment in Greenwich Village. So hello, AbeBooks!

Sale & Shipping Terms

Terms of Sale

If I've mischaracterized a book, please let me know, and I'm happy to accept returns for refunds.

Shipping Terms

Orders usually ship within three business days. I generally pack books in boxes, with padding, and unless they're unusually bulky or heavy -- more than four pounds or so -- I won't ask for additional shipping costs. For domestic media-mail buyers, anyway. Prices for international and even priority shipping can get *insane*.
