He was strongly against slavery, using his poems to try and support the Abolitionist campaign. Illustrated with twelve plates. Externally, generally smart. Light scuffs to the leather spine. A little edge wear. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are lightly age-toned and generally clean with only the occasional mark. Very Good Indeed
