First Edition
18 engraved plates (2 steel, 16 wood) (illustrator). Frederick Douglass's third, final, and most complete autobiography. His earlier books were published prior to the Civil War, while still technically a fugitive slave, and therefore still careful about revealing certain information. Here Douglass includes much more on his early life as a slave and his escape. Likewise, this is his only autobiography to cover the Civil War and its aftermath, including his relations with Presidents Lincoln and Garfield. This is a second printing of the first edition, as identified by the extensive list of points in "The Frederick Douglass Papers, Series 2, Vol. 3, Book 1." Very good. Bound in rust colored cloth over boards with gilt-stamped spine and blind-stamped boards. Skillfully rebacked retaining original spine and endpapers. A handsome copy. Original cloth over boards. Octavo. [i-iii], iv-xx, [xxi-xxii], (13)-518 pages.

First Edition
A superb copy in collector s condition. Handsomely bound in the publisher's terra cotta cloth decorated with subtle blind stamping and rectangular rules along the edges on the front and rear boards. With title, author, and decorative stars, all in bright gilt on the spine. This copy is near fine with sharp corners, tight hinges; it is virtually unread, extremely clean and tight throughout. In addition to the engravings of Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln, there are several other full-page illustrations, including one of John Brown, throughout the text. With the merest touch of rubbing to the extremities, this remarkable copy looks as fresh as if it had just come from Frederick Douglass bookcase. Frederick Douglass (born Frederick Augustus Washington Bailey, c. February 1817 or 1818[a] February 20, 1895) was an American social reformer, abolitionist, orator, writer, and statesman. After escaping from slavery in Maryland, he became a national leader of the abolitionist movement in Massachusetts and New York, becoming famous for his oratory[4] and incisive antislavery writings. Accordingly, he was described by abolitionists in his time as a living counterexample to enslavers' arguments that enslaved people lacked the intellectual capacity to function as independent American citizens.[5] Northerners at the time found it hard to believe that such a great orator had once been enslaved. It was in response to this disbelief that Douglass wrote his first autobiography.[6] Douglass wrote three autobiographies, describing his experiences as an enslaved person in his Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave (1845), which became a bestseller and was influential in promoting the cause of abolition, as was his second book, My Bondage and My Freedom (1855). Following the Civil War, Douglass was an active campaigner for the rights of freed slaves and wrote his last autobiography, Life and Times of Frederick Douglass. First published in 1881 and revised in 1892, three years before his death, the book covers his life up to those dates. Douglass also actively supported women's suffrage, and he held several public offices. Without his knowledge or consent, Douglass became the first African American nominated for vice president of the United States, as the running mate of Victoria Woodhull on the Equal Rights Party ticket.[7] Douglass believed in dialogue and in making alliances across racial and ideological divides, as well as in the liberal values of the U.S. Constitution.[8] When radical abolitionists, under the motto "No Union with Slaveholders", criticized Douglass's willingness to engage in dialogue with slave owners, he replied: "I would unite with anybody to do right and with nobody to do wrong."
