About This Item
Publisher's gilt-stamped brown cloth with upper board ornamental scrolling in blind, octavo, pp. xi, 207. Patterned endpapers. Previous owner small neat ownership stamp near top of free front endpaper. Gilt on spine has faded. A good bit of foxing on the free front endpaper and the frontis portrait illustrations (see photo). Very little foxing internally after these preliminary leaves. Spine ends, board edges and tips rubbed considerably. GOOD and sound withal. See Dumond's influential "Anti-Slavery: The Crusade for Freedom in America" (page 314) for an account of prison sentences and resulting hardships faced by a Calvin Fairbanks [sic] that align with Fairbank's autobiographical reminiscences herein. See also WORK, page 306.
