Sobre este artículo
Toronto: A.G. Watson, Toronto Willard Tract Depository, Limited. Good. 1891. Reprint. Hardcover. "In writing this book, my aim has been to give a true picture in outline of the Slave-Trade as it exists at the present time on the east coast of Africa. I have selected from the most trustworthy sources what I believe to be the most telling points of 'the trade,' and have woven these together into a tale, the warp of which is composed of thick cords of fact; the woof of slight lines of fiction, just sufficient to hold the fabric together. Exaggeration has easily been avoided, because - as Dr. Livingstone says in regard to the slave-trade - 'exaggeration is imossible.'" - Preface. Early reprint of this title which may have been first published in 1873. pp. vi, [2], 416, 8 [ads]. Complete with six black and white illustrations. Undated but gift greetings upon front free endpaper are dated 1891. No other markings. Back hinge mostly open. Attractively decorated original forest green cloth. Rubbing to gilt backstrip lettering. A worthy vintage copy.; 12mo .
