Publisher's dark blue cloth blocked in blind upper cover lettered in gilt very minor fading to spine. First Edition. 193 1 6pp. Ads in the rear. 1 vols. 8vo. "When the Wilmot Proviso against slavery in the territories acquired from Mexico produced angry debates Benton denounced the proviso but he also refused to support the southern demand for territorial expansion. He insisted that slavery where it existed was in no danger while geography climate and the opposition of existing territorial populations would prevent its expansion. Though a slaveholder himself Benton described the institution as an incurable evil preserved only by racial fears and animosities. He hoped that it would ultimately disappear but meanwhile he prayed that it would never be expanded . In 1857 the Supreme Court in the Dred Scott decision ruled that the federal government could not bar slavery from any federal territory. Benton answered this ruling with a 192-page Historical and Legal Examination of the Dred Scott Case 1857 which glorified the Union appealed for sectional peace and denounced the decision as bad constitutional law" ANB.

"Thomas Hosmer Shepherd 1792 - 1864 war ein britischer Aquarellmaler bekannt vor allem für seine detailgetreue Darstellung von Gebäuden oftmals mit lebendigen Straßenszenen die Menschen Pferde und Kutschen zeigten. Er arbeitete in London und später in Edinburgh Bath und Bristol. Seine Zeichnungen waren Vorlage für zahlreiche Stahlstiche die auch Bücher illustrierten. Shepherd arbeitete hauptsächlich für Frederick Crace 1799 - 1859 einem Innenarchitekten und Kommissar für Kanalisation. Ursprünglich sollte er die Gebäude festhalten die kurz vor dem Abriss standen. Er zeichnete dann aber auch die Neubauten. Shepherds Bilder liefern heute den Forschern Hinweise auf das Bauwesen die Architektur und Geschichte im 19. Jahrhundert. Heute sind viele dieser Zeichnungen Bestandteil der Crace collection im British Museum aber auch durch ein Einzelwerk das den Lesesaal zeigt. Die private Sammlung von Friedrich Crace 1799 - 1859 kam zum Britischen Museum durch seinen Sohn John Gregory Crace im Jahr 1878. Die Kollektion besteht aus rund 1200 handschriftlichen und gedruckten Karten und Ansichten aus London von 1560 bis 1860." Wikipedia. Shepherd "was one of the most esteemed watercolourists of his day. An industrious painter and draftsman Shepherd produced a wealth of images illustrating street scenes and old buildings in London. His handsome paintings combine a natural quality attentive to detail making them some of the most appealing views of the metropolis . which he executed with great truth and accuracy."
