Seller's Description:
Very good. 8vo, publisher's embossed brown cloth stamped in coppery gilt on spine, very good, light wear, inscribed by the author either to Hiram Sibley or Sibley's wife (Sibley was a major American industrialist who invested heavily in telegraph technology early on) signed as "The Author." 455 pp. with much on Jonathan Edwards' ideas of freedom and will. Hazard was a textile mill owner who became an abolitionist. According to his granddaughter, Hazard considered that "the greatest effort of his life" began when he was in New Orleans on business in the winter of 1841 when he learned that a free African-American man from Newport was being held in custody in Louisiana as an escaped slave. Hazard's investigations found that many free African-Americans were being detained under the assumption they were escaped slaves. He worked with Jacob Barker, then a New Orleans lawyer, to obtain freedom for nearly 100 people being held as slaves. The action later led to charges being filed against several public officials who were responsible for the illegal detentions.
