Mrs. [Lydia Maria] Child

An Appeal in Favor of That Class of Americans Called Africans

New York, John S. Taylor, 1836. Second Edition. Leather. 216p. REBOUND. A small hardcover book rebound with new leather spine and corners, retaining the original brown cloth boards. Very good condition overall. The edges of the cloth are wearing through. Foxing throughout the interior, but otherwise, text unmarked and binding tight. A highly influential work first published in 1833, and regarded as the first antislavery book published by a white woman. In this book, Child argues for the immediate emancipation of slaves and, radically for her time, opposes anti-miscegenation policies. For her extreme abolitionist position, she was socially ostracized and faced a great deal of criticism in both the North and South. However, her arguments won many prominent supporters such as William Ellery Channing and Charles Sumner. Measures approx. 7.5" x 5.

CHILD, Mrs. [Lydia Maria]

An Appeal in Favor of That Class of Americans Called Africans

Boston, Allen and Ticknor, 1833. First Edition. Hardcover. Original blue-green cloth (4-3/4" x 7-3/4") rebacked with original spine and spine label; [vi], 232 pages with tipped-in errata slip. Housed in a handsome gilt-lettered blue morocco-backed blue cloth clamshell box. Illustrated with 3 steel engravings: the iconic frontispiece of an enslaved woman from an 1827 painting by Henry Thomson, the full-page engraving of slave manacles and torture devices, and the full-page engraving of Mungo Park and an African woman. This revolutionary work by one of the first Americans to speak out against the institution of slavery was a central document of the abolitionist movement. Child, a popular author and founder of America's first children's magazine, JUVENILE MISCELLANY, was met with public outrage when APPEAL appeared. Two months after its publication, mob violence against abolitionists broke out across the country. Unlike many abolitionists Child believed that racial prejudice in the North was almost as bad as slavery in the South. Senator Charles Sumner, one of the most important of those who influenced Lincoln to issue his Emancipation Proclamation, credited APPEAL with awakening him to the injustice of slavery. Frederick Douglass said APPEAL "issued, as it was, at an early stage in the antislavery conflict, was one of the most effective agencies in arousing attention to the cruelty and injustice of slavery" (LIFE AND TIMES, pages 470-471). Child collected an enormous amount of data to prove the equality of blacks, insisting that racial prejudice had no legitimate basis and that blacks and whites should live together as equals, even as husbands and wives. The 8 chapters of the book survey the history of slavery and the African slave trade, describing American slave law as the harshest in the world. Despite the emotional and financial hardships she suffered as a result of her book, Child refused to be silenced. Text and plates fresh, cloth bright with minor expert restoration to the original spine label. Highly desirable, close to Fine. Exceptional in this condition .
