She authored numerous anti-slavery publications, edited Harriet Ann Jacobs� classic memoir Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl (1861) and offered protection and shelter to Black people fleeing slavery. Child was also a member of the executive committee of the American Anti-Slavery Society and an editor of The National Anti-Slavery Standard, the society�s periodical. Twelvemo. xvi, 493 pp. With frontisportrait and one plate (both of Hopper) with tissue guards. Publisher�s brown cloth titled in gilt on spine. Minor edgewear. Yellow coated endpapers. Some foxing to plates and title-page, but otherwise very clean throughout. Two early pencil ownership signatures to front flyleaf.

Isaac Tatem Hopper�(1771 � 1852) was a leading Pennsylvania abolitionist who protected free Black people and fugitives from slavery.
