Description: New York, American Anti-Slavery Society, Publisher, 1843. Cloth. Stated second edition for the first part, with the second part published in Albany in 1843. Dark brown ribbed cloth. Unpaginated. With many illustrations throughout. Sabin states that pagination varies among copies seen. This appears complete, based on a counting of signatures (1-18 with 6 leaves, 19 with 1 leaf and 20-32 with 6 leaves) Signature 19 constitutes the title page to the Remonstrance section. Effectively two works in one. An anti-slavery work, containing quotes and accounts of many important and minor anti-slavery figures and abolitionists. This also includes accounts of slavery (mostly 3rd person reflections). The second section regards the Texas revolution, containing quotes of political and other figures on the annexation of Texas by the United States, taking a decidedly anti-Texas annexation stance. FAIR condition. The fold out map in the beginning is MISSING its right half, being torn in two along the fold. Cloth backstrip MISSING from the spine. Moderate to heavy uneven fading to the covers, with minor to moderate scuffing. Minor soiling and staining, with a semicircular ring stain to the rear. Cloth very worn and bumped along the extremities. Binding shaken and text block weakened but holding. First signature almost detached. Scattered moderate to heavy foxing throughout, with some staining and soiling. Previous owner's signature present. Howes L235, L236. Sabin 95097. Fair/No Jacket.
