Quarto. Recent re-binding in plush deerskin with contrasting black labels, lettered in gilt, affixed to spine. Marbled endpapers. New front free endpapers. Sunning to spine. A very few light smudges and tiny blems to deerskin - hardly noticeable. Stowe's thesis is that "the chain of documentary evidence has been broken. The author writes in the preface: ".Each one of the books of the New Testament must be traced up to the Apostles, who only had authority to deliver inspired books to the churches. This is what the present volume professes to do. It is a book of authorities and testimonies; it is the tracing and verifying of title deeds." "But there are some deeds in which the chain is broken before we get to the original proprietors; there are some which are forgeries and others which were given by the persons whose names they bear, but these persons had no authority to make the sales. All such deeds are invalid and confer no title." "These latter deeds represent the apocryphal books. It is proposed to show that every one of the apocryphal books belongs to one of these three classes, to wit: 1. They can not be traced to the apostles; 2. Some of them are proved to be forgeries; 3. And others, though genuine, were written by persons who had no apostolic authority to give them to the churches." Stowe was married to Harriet Beecher Stowe and while the two were part of a group which provided shelter to northward-bound freedom seekers (aka escaped slaves or free Blacks), " ".As references in William Lloyd Garrison's radical abolitionist paper, The Liberator, document, although Stowe privately decried slavery, he was no abolitionist. He believed slavery was sanctioned by the Bible and that, through Christian education, slavery would gradually fade away. He was, instead, an advocate of colonization of free Blacks in Liberia as a "solution" to slavery. It was only after his wife Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin was published in 1852 that Stowe began, haltingly, to change his stance regarding slavery, first as a signatory to a petition of New England clergy in opposition to the Kansas-Nebraska Act, issued in 1854.(Wikipedia). …
