Philadelphia, Carey & Lea, 1832. 1st Edition. Hardcover. 540p. Ex-library, REBOUND. A hardcover book that has been rebound in orange cloth. Library stamps on endpapers and title page. All pages mildly toned and foxed with age, but otherwise a clean, tight book in good reading condition. Volume 12 of THE AMERICAN QUARTERLY REVIEW, containing the September and December issues for 1832. The magazine itself is a digest of essays and book reviews pertaining to American and world history, especially in matters of law and government. Some interesting features of this volume are editorials on the abolition of slavery in response to a debate on the subject in the Virginia legislature (one writer concludes that "every plan of emancipation and deportation which we can possible conceive, is totally impracticable" and will only "increase all the evils of which we complain, as resulting from slavery"); an essay on secret societies, prompted by the publication of LETTERS ON MASONRY AND ANTI-MASONRY by William Leet Stone; and an early review of DOMESTIC MANNERS OF THE AMERICANS by Frances Milton Trollope.
