1831 THOMAS CLARKSON Et Al. Five Tracts on Christian Pacifism, etc., William Wilberforce

Rather rare group of five tracts published for the Society for the Promotion of Permanent and Universal Peace. The Society was composed of many of the same figures involved in the move toward the abolition of slavery. 

Each rare, and a nice grouping together.

2. Extracts from the Writings of Erasmus, on the Subject of War. London. Hatchard & Son. Nd. 16pp.
