About this Item

Original printed wrappers, stitched. 12, errata slip, viii, 208pp. Stitched, light wear, Near Fine. As noted in Ante-Fire Imprints, the wrapper date is 1864, and the title page date is 1863. The title page appears after the errata slip following page 12. An active and energetic Chicago author, industrialist, and businessman, Wright was a War Democrat. His long discourse on a variety of subjects, generally war-related, does not reveal any sympathy for the slaves or Free Negroes. "In this just, defensive war, we white men should require-- yes, compel-- our Federal Administration to abandon its reliance on the Negro. We are abundantly able to protect ourselves and our every right, against the assaults of the South. We want no Negro aid in our defence, and we want to be saved the disgrace, at the end of this war, of having it said, that the North could do nothing except with the help of the slaves." FIRST EDITION. Ante-Fire Imprints 764 [10]. Bartlett 5982. Seller Inventory # 18567
