Description: (New York): William Harned (Agent of the A. and F. Anti-Slavery Society), (n. d.). Ca. 1852. White printed paper. Now housed in an archival mylar sleeve. Single sheet, printed recto only. 7-1/2" x 6". Faint age-toning and creasing, single black marked line. Withal, a VG example. This paper begins with a comment on Harrie Beecher Stowe's response to reading Mr. Barnes' sermon on slavery ("Preached before the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in the United States, convened in the City of Washington, May 20th 1852"), "I have just been reading it with great admiration.. Mr. Barnes has a faculty of statement that almost supersedes the necessity of argument. Very few men have the power of saying exactly what they mean, and neither less nor more, with the faultless precision and exactness that belongs to him.".
