Boston: Isaac Knapp, 1837. First Edition. 12mo. Cloth-backed printed paper over boards; xii,124pp. Small loss to cloth near base of spine; scattered foxing to text; still a sound, attractive, Very Good copy in the original boards. Collection of miscellaneous pieces by the celebrated English abolitionist and reformer, including his addresses at Lowell and Boston and correspondence with William Lloyd Garrison, Benjamin Whedon, Samuel Fessenden and others. Thompson's anti-slavery tour of the United States was controversial and fraught with peril, as mobs on more than one occasion attempted to murder him; after narrowly escaping to Canada in late 1835 he wrote a friend that he had had to flee the United States "...in order to escape the assassin's knife." LCP AFRO-AMERICANA 10215. IMPRINTS 47067.

Description:
Boston: Isaac Knapp, 1837. First Edition. Hardcover. Private library number in ink at top of title page, contents quite clean; front endpaper lacking; hinges cracked but holding. Some edgewear and staining to covers. Very Good. Original cloth-backed printed boards (4" x 5-3/4"); xii, 126 pages. Complete with a printed note from William Lloyd Garrison. George Thompson was well-known to anti-slavery activists on both sides of the Atlantic. He was a powerful orator and fought for abolition throughout his personal and professional career, often risking his life in the process. During the fifteen months from August 1834 to November 1835 nothing caused so much excitement in the American press, both pro-slavery and abolitionist, as the anti-slavery mission of the British reformer George Thompson (Rice, C. Duncan; JOURNAL OF AMERICAN STUDIES, Vol. 2, No. 1, April 1968).
