Item description from seller

Octavo. 19, [1] pp. First edition. As issued, sewn in self-wrappers. First and last leaf detached but present; pages are evenly toned. Pamphlet includes a letter by James McKaye, reprinted from the New York Evening Post, introducing an English translation of Laboulaye's essay, "Disunion: Degradation without Remedy" which originally appeared in Paris's Revue Nationale. In it, Laboulaye places unsparing blame on the South: "The South has found numerous and skillful advocates in France and England. They have presented her cause as that of justice and liberty. They have proclaimed the right of separation, and have not quailed even before the necessity of apologizing for slavery. To-day these arguments begin to loose (sic) their force. Thanks to a few writers who do not chaffer with. the great interests of humanity-thanks, above all, to M. be Gasparin, light has begun to break forth. We know now what to think of the origin and character of the rebellion. To every impartial observer it is now evident that the wrong lies wholly with the South" (p. 10). He points to slavery as the central crux and an issue about which the South is inescapably in the wrong. Sabin 38445.
