Sobre este artículo
Philadelphia: Printed for the Author by H. Orr, 1854. First Edition. Octavo (23.5cm.); publisher's brown blind-embossed cloth, gilt-lettered spine; x,[11]-236pp. Some brief chipping of cloth at corners and spine ends, boards very slightly bowed, textblock a bit foxed throughout, else a Very Good copy overall. Lengthy essay by a Pennsylvania medical doctor addressed to "the white race and the free Negro of the United States," calling for the eventual emancipation of all African Americans, though explicitly stating that abolition asks "of the master sacrifices that never will be--never can be made." Instead, Dewees proposes the full exodus of African Americans back to the African continent over the span of a hundred years, claiming that this is the most "philanthropic" solution to slavery in the United States. SABIN 19840; not in Work.
