Item description from seller

A disbound but scarce copy Croly's famous work on intermarriage, considered to be a hoax designed to discredit the Lincoln Administration. A scarce work, disbound but intact. David Goodman Croly (1829-1889) was an American journalist, who became the editor managing editor of The World. He co-authored this work with George Wakeman as a pamphlet in 1863. This work is considered to be a literary forgery. The authors claim to be Abolitionists in favour of promoting intermarriage which, at that time, was seen as a threat to white supremacy. In reality, this work was published to stir up racist fears among white people, and to discredit the Abolitionist movement and the Lincoln Administration. This work coined the term 'miscegenation' for the intermixing of races. A fascinating and scarce piece of Civil War propaganda. Undated. Publication information gathered through copies held at the British Library. Disbound but intact. Externally fairly smart, though age toned, with remnants of the binding to the spine. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright and clean except for occasional offsetting. Very Good.
