Item description from seller

8vo, pp. 73, [1]; original printed tan front wrapper present, but loose; short tear in the fore-edge of the front wrapper (no loss); rear wrapper wanting; all else very good or better. The wrapper inscribed: "Mrs. S. A. Eliot from Theodore Lyman." "The racial equalitarianism openly embraced by Garrison and many other abolitionists after 1830 added a provocative new element to the slavery controversy. It intensified the fury of southern reaction and was apparently the principal stimulus to an outburst of violent anti-abolitionist activity in the North" (Fehrenbacher The Dred Scott Case, 120). This document recounts the 1835 near-riot which prevented Garrison's anti-slavery meeting, and resulted in his being taken into protective custody. The author, son of the then-Mayor, wants to clear his father's name, for the elder Lyman had been accused of cooperating with the mob. Afro-Americana 6150; Sabin 42804.
