Sobre este artículo
Philadelphia: Printed by Joseph Crukshank, 1774. xiv ,[ii], 436 pp. Scattered foxing and toning, Good+ in modern quarter calf, raised spine bands, gilt-lettered morocco spine title.
The first part is Woolman's Journals of his Life and Travels, one of the best colonial American autobiographies. Woolman, a Quaker minister, championed abolition early in his career and preached the importance of emancipating slaves, having traveled extensively in North and South. His autobiography, uniformly praised, was often reprinted. "An autobiographical masterpiece, rivalled in 18th century America only by that of Franklin" [Howes].
Woolman's Considerations on the Keeping of Negroes, in two parts is also printed. "Woolman's teachings left a permanent imprint upon all thinking opponents of slavery, both in America and in Great Britain. His writings upon the subject, especially his Journal (1774) and his essay, Some Considerations on the Keeping of Negroes (1754) served to perpetuate his views" [DAB].
FIRST EDITION. Howes W-669, "aa." Evans 13782. Hildeburn 3139. LCP 11387. ESTC W29718.
