An excessively rare book produced by the American Baptist Free Mission Society (ABFMS), an abolitionist organization founded by Cyrus Pitt Grosvenor in the 1840s, which actively opposed slavery by refusing slaveholders and their money be accepted by Baptists, advocating for equal opportunity in education (like New York Central College), and contributing to the broader anti-slavery movement within the Baptist tradition before the major church split, i.e. The Southern Baptists, over slavery. It was the A.B.F.M.S that led to the ultimate creation of the Southern Baptist Convention.
