Very Good. First edition. Octavo. 44pp. Green printed wrappers. Ex-library copy, with single, small embossed stamp on title page, wrappers are moderately soiled, small chip at base of spine, else a very good copy with the text bright and clean. An oration, drawing parallels between the Pilgrims flight from tyranny and bondage to religious freedom in America, and the need to abolish slavery, and attain freedom for African-Americans. "They had left afar the persecutions of the bigots and tyrants of the old world, to worship God according to their conscience, to speak their honest thoughts...and yet, paradoxically as it is, SLAVERY, in its most unmitigated form, prevails among us as the chief institution...the abolition of slavery from her borders is the paramount duty of the country...the Negro is a man, and by virtue of his humanity endowed with human rights, because he has the form and faculties of a man, thinks the thoughts, feels the feelings, aspires towards the prized and ends of a man. How does the fact that he is Black alter the case? " Scarce.
