Card holder is attached to the back free end paper. Library stamp on the top of the text block. Paper strips are glued to the front and back inside of the binding. "Above all, perhaps, the rationalists of the eighteenth century aroused the social conscience of mankind and stimulated humanitarianism...No writer of any significance during the Age of Reason defended the slave trade and it was owing to the denunciations of the intellectuals, as well as to the birth of humanitarian conscience, that the trade was eventually abolished by the civilized European states."
