Boston: Ticknor and Fields, 1861. First edition. Small octavo. iv, 275, [1] pp. Half calf over brown boards, spine with gilt floral devices within compartments, black morocco gilt lettering label, marbled endpapers. Some drying to spine and tips but still a very good copy of the pro-slavery novel. Nehemiah Adams, graduate of Harvard and Andover Theological Seminary, became became pastor of Union Congregational Church in Boston, Massachusetts and held that position until his death in 1878. In 1854, he took a trip to the American South, and wrote a book entitled A South-Side View of Slavery. This book was attacked by abolitionists for its perceived moderation. In 1861, Adams wrote a successor volume, The Sable Cloud, to answer his attackers. This rather idiosyncratic novel used a pitiless construction of the biblical text to reject the inference of the inherent sinfulness of slavery.
