[NONE] 1856, 1st edition, 2nd printing. (hardcover) Near fine. xxxi, 464pp. 8vo. Original brown cloth, blind stamped decoration to boards. Title in gilt to spine is faded, as spine has been lightly sunned. Engraved frontispiece portrait of Mr. Douglass, with tissue guard. Some minor rubbing, a wee bit of fraying at the upper edge and head of spine. Light staining to some of the last pages and numbers, pencilled, one to each of the front and rear fixed endpapers. Related ephemera laid in. Overall, a beautiful copy, one which does not require immediate repair or restoration. The pages are uncommonly bright and clean. The author's second autobiography, nearly three times the length of the first: 'Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass' (1845), this tome includes more detail about his time as a slave as well as the changes that came about in his life as a free man. Beautiful copy of this powerful and historically important work.
