Seller's Description:
8vo. Grey cloth. xviii, 184pp. Fine. Tight, handsome facsimile reprint of the third edition (1863) of this title first published by A. 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. A volume in Kelley's "Reprints of Economic Classics" series.
