About This Item
Removed from a bound volume, octavo, pp. 16 + [4]. Spine scuffed with strands of binding string exposed. Old vertical crease at center of the volume throughout, as though folded for insertion in a jacket pocket. About GOOD condition, withal. INSCRIBED at top edge of title page "With the respects of T[homas] C[ogswell] Upham." The notable Upham (1799-1872) was an influential Bowdoin College professor, author, and friend to Harriet Beecher Stowe during her residence at Brunswick, Maine. Stowe described the Uphams as "delightful" and "a beautiful pattern of a Christian family." She debated Upham periodically on the topic of fugitive slaves and wrote that she "had over the tea table the other night that sort of argument which consists in both sides saying over & over just what they said before, for any length of time- but when I asked him flatly if he would obey the law supposing a fugitive came to him, Mrs. Upham laughed & he hemmed & hawed (See Hedrick, Harriet Beecher Stowe: A Life, Oxford U.P., 1994, pp. 205-6)." An uncommon item, both in trade and institutional holdings, with a 2024 OCLC search returning American Antiquarian Society only. Protected now in a clear display sleeve with white card-stock backing board. See Williamson, Bibliography State of Maine, Volume 1, Number 1278.
