Description: Boston, Wells and Lilly, 1821. Second edition. Modern wrappers. 55 pp. [1 pp.] appendix. Sm. 4to. In praise of America but notes its faults: "I deem it my duty on this occasion to suggest, that the land is not yet wholly free from the contamination of a traffic, at which every feeling of humanity must forever revolt — I mean the African slave trade. Neither public sentiment, nor the law, has hitherto been able entirely to put an end to this odious and abominable trade." Sabin 102262. Amer. Imprints 7610. Very good, contents lightly browned and soiled.
