Description:
12 mo. (7 x 4 1/2 inches) Glasgow, 1700. First Edition. (viii) 112 pages. Good condition: early nineteenth century half calf, marbled boards, considerable wear to hinges (front hinge split, but holding), title in gilt on spine.

Walter Herries (or Harris) was a pamphleteer who participated in the first Darien "adventure." Upon his return to England, he was offered inducements by English politicians to write a book that would ruin the reputation of the members of the Darien Company. His book was "Declared by a royal proclamation to be a 'false, scandalous, and traitorous libel'."

This book, attributed to Ridpath, is an answer to Herries's book, and an attack on English politicians. Ridpath was a Scottish journalist who wrote and supported Whig interests against the Tories.

Shepard states his belief, that despite his love for the Union, the right of secession is a right of the people; and "That the fugitive slave ... bill would impede an owner of a slave from retaking his property .... "

"... the repeal, or any alteration tending to impede an owner of a slave from retaking his property, will be regarded as undoubted and sufficient evidence, that a majority of Congress are unrestrained by express provisions of the Constitution, and that a time has arrived , when it becomes the duty of the people of North Carolina to decide… Read More
