Sobre este artículo
Boston & New York: : Phillips, Sampson and Company / J. C. Derby,, 1855 (c. 1854). . Hardcover -. Good overall in the original blind-stamped brown cloth with gilt lettering on spine Rubbing to spine lettering, fraying to the cloth at the ends of the spine covering and wear to the corners, spine slant but the hinges are still tight, the paper is still supple and the book is easily readable. . Early printing. Stated thirtieth thousand. Author's first book, a sentimental anti-slavery novel, set mostly in South Carolina, of a young white girl who is kidnapped and sold into slavery. In her brief preface the author states that she hopes this book will "arouse a more intense love of freedom" and inspire a "more firm protest against the extension of that system which alike for master and servant, poisons the springs of life." Upon publication, this book drew comparisons to 'Uncle Tom's Cabin', was championed by Frederick Douglass and sold 60,000 copies in its first two years.
