First edition. 214 pages. Original ribbed cloth binding with gilt lettering on the spine. Howes I61. A stated slavery opponent, the author nevertheless equivocates, alternately criticizing slave-holders and abolitionists alike, and arriving at the conclusion that the optimal resolution lies in African repatriation. Good condition, the binding rather well preserved, with inked inscription on front free end paper, foxing throughout, and a few damp stains.
