A very nice copy of of a classic pre-civil war examination of the breadth and cruelty of the American slave trade. Desirable in any state, this copy was gifted by Isaac Collins to British abolitionist, Isaac Hadwen. Hadwen was a Quaker who was a third-generation Liverpool clock-maker, but retired in 1799 to devote his life to the abolition of the slave trade directly under the influence of his life-long friend, Thomas Clarkson. Isaac Collins likely the American Quaker who took several trips in service of abolitionism during the 1840's and 1850's.
