A very attractive stitched example in an excellent state of preservation. Jay lambastes Silliman, accusing him of being the only Episcopal leader to actually argue for the expansion of slavery and to justify it on a theological basis, being even more pro-slavery than the Bishop of Texas and Alabama.
