Sobre este artículo
Original brown cloth, original printed paper spine label; pp. 5-227, (228), (blank leaf). with 11 haunting wood engravings. Text has moderate foxing throughout as do the plates. First Boston edition, issued by famed abolitionist Isaac Knapp, of Bourne's provocative work, preceded only by the 1834 Middleton, CT. first edition, this incendiary antebellum work is by the controversial minister who was expelled from the church for verbally attacking ministers and slave-owners in his congregation—"one of the first radical abolitionists"—featuring eleven woodcut-engraved illustrations of slavery's "appalling and atrocious criminality," exceptional in unrestored original cloth.
"Bourne was a crucial figure in the history of the antislavery movement… One of the first radical abolitionists… he was a founding member of the American Anti-Slavery Society (1833) and a frequent contributor to Garrison's famous paper The Liberator" (ANB). Born in England, Bourne emigrated to the U.S. in 1804. Following a brief career as a journalist, the provocative white abolitionist moved Virginia, "where he became active as a Presbyterian pastor… Bourne was shocked by his encounter with slavery as it was actually practiced, and these personal experiences, combined with his familiarity with the contemporary British struggle against the slave trade, led him to a total rejection of slavery" (Murray, in American Presbyterians). "Between 1810 and 1815 he began excluding slave owners from his congregation… [and] charged ministers who owned slaves at the time of their ordination with violating church rules… In response to his attacks, the Lexington Presbytery dissolved his congregation and commenced a three-year campaign that resulted in Bourne's expulsion from the church. In 1816 he published Book and Slavery Irreconcilable, the first sustained examination of the relationship between slavery and the Bible in the U.S." (ANB). Ownership signature of George Washington Hagar, a Carpenter living in Westminster Massachusetts in 1850. Housed in a brown clamshell box.
