About This Item
London: Committee of the British and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society, n. d. [186?]. Hardcover. Very Good. [2], ii, 166p. [and a final blank leaf]. Original cloth. 24cm. Circular library stamp (James Clift Masonic Library) embossed on lower right portion of title-leaf and a short tear in right margin on the two succeeding leaves. Label or bookplate removed from front endpaper. An appealing copy. Daniel A. Payne, a bishop of the AME Church and perhaps the only African American to be a Delegate at the Conference, identified himself as appearing on behalf of the AME Church and used the growth and progress of his denomination to show that the formerly enslaved were progressing rather than failing since being freed by the Northern victory in the Civil War (pages 24-26).
