About This Item
8vo, publisher's cloth, paper label on spine, [4], 167 pp. Hinges very weak, piece missing from top portion of spine, small slight stain in the bottom margin; label faded; still a respectable copy. Channing (1780-1842) was born in Newport, Rhode Island, and would become a noted Unitarian minister and author. He was considered an important force in the development of "American Unitarianism", and his religious writings were very popular. Channing would become a critic of slavery after a trip to Richmond when he was a young man, but it was after a trip to the West Indies that this work was published in 1835. The book argues the "ethical Indefensibility" of slavery, and despite a moderate tone, it seems to have upset conservative northerners, as well as, southern whites. However, he would continue his opposition to slavery in several other antislavery tracts over the next several years. ANB.
