About this Item
Corners worn, spine rebacked with old spine laid-down, gilt lettering and designs in gilt are still quite readable. Old book-plate front pastedown. Inscription in neat old hand on front free endpaper dated 1888. Small brown spot on title-page. Some occasional brown spots at periphery through text, but generally quite a clean copy. First published in 1835 as "Slavery in the United States". The narrative was ghost-written by Redwood S. Fisher from oral sessions with CHARLES BALL. This edition was abridged from 517pp. to 430pp. in 1858 leaving out accounts of Charles Ball's grandfathjer's religion and all references to Ball's participation in the War of 1812. An important account of the life of enslaved people and their enslavers in early 19th century America. Please see Howes B65 and Sabin 24309. Also see photos. Size: Crown Octavo.
