Description:
Toronto: A.G. Watson, Toronto Willard Tract Depository, Limited. Good. 1891. Reprint. Hardcover. "In writing this book, my aim has been to give a true picture in outline of the Slave-Trade as it exists at the present time on the east coast of Africa. I have selected from the most trustworthy sources what I believe to be the most telling points of 'the trade,' and have woven these together into a tale, the warp of which is composed of thick cords of fact; the woof of slight lines of fiction, just sufficient to hold the fabric together. Exaggeration has easily been avoided, because - as Dr. Livingstone says in regard to the slave-trade - 'exaggeration is imossible.'" - Preface. Early reprint of this title which may have been first published in 1873. pp. vi, [2], 416, 8 [ads]. Complete with six black and white illustrations. Undated but gift greetings upon front free endpaper are dated 1891. No other markings. Back hinge mostly open. Attractively decorated… Read More

London: Heath Cranton Limited. Very Good in Good dust jacket. 1946. First Edition. Hardcover. Signed, "With the Author's Compliments, Alan Peters" atop front free endpaper. "Here are all the ingredients of strong drama, and it was as a play the story was first written, as early as 1933. Twice it was accepted for London production, and twice it was banned by successive Lord Chamberlains, in the days of [pre-WWII German] appeasement. At that time it was a warning, and a prophecy, which has, unhappily, been more than fulfilled." - dust jacket. A fascinating Leeds Libraries Heritage Blog article suggests Alan Peters was almost certainly the pseudonym of Leeds physician Dr. Isaac Hipshon, and that this was his most famous work, describing it as "a searing examination of the 'Nazi Revolution' of 1933 and its impact upon an inter-related group of characters, including a middle-class German family and a Jewish scientist."
