Description: New York, Augustus M. Kelly Publishers, 1970. Hardcover. 8vo. Grey cloth. xviii, 184pp. Fine.

Williams and Company of Boston in 1862, being a lecture delivered before the Massachusetts Historical Society. The anti-slavery stance of Livermore (1809-65), a wool merchant and book collector, showcases the progressive views of many founding fathers regarding slavery -- which is likely what brought this piece to Lincoln's attention when he composed the Emancipation Proclamation.
