About This Item

Cambridge: John Bartlett, 1852. First edition of Pringle's pro-slavery tract. Octavo, original wrappers. Presentation copy, inscribed by the author on the front panel, "Mr. Norton With respects of the Author." In near fine condition. Scarce signed. Born into an aristocratic slave-holding family in Charleston, South Carolina, Edward J. Pringle published Slavery in the Southern States with the purpose of proving that southern slaves had more freedom than the wage laborers of the North. The publisher's statement following the copyright page reads: "The following article is published at the request of a friend of the author, in Boston, to whom it was sent as an answer to the question, What do you think of "Uncle Tom's Cabin" at the South? It is published in the hope of inducing calmer thought on the subject of slavery than is likely to be the result of pictorial writing. - August, 1852.
