Second Edition, with additions, 12mo, [5], 6-100pp., folding engraved map of the town of Leicester, 5 nineteenth-century mounted actual photographs tipped-in, and 6 engraved plates tipped, modern cloth, uncut, spine faded. Susanna Watts was born in Leicester and was dedicated to bringing about the immediate abolition of slavery. She started one of the first fair trade campaigns, wrote hymns and pamphlets and even locked horns with William Wilberforce. When her father died, her wealthy family's finances became tight and she had to find a way to support herself and her mother. At the age of 15 or 16 she began writing to earn money, and as well as penning the first guide to Leicester, she wrote poetry to promote the emancipation of slaves. To be a young woman and a published author in the late 18th Century would not have been an easy task, so the fact that she prevailed shows how passionate Susanna was in her desire to make her antislavery views known. "They dared to stand up in front of all these men and say what they thought was right ? two women from the provincial town of Leicester." According to Shirley Aucott, a local historian and author, Susanna worked on a periodical called 'The Hummingbird', which brought together different ideas on the antislavery moment, and she organised what must have been one of the first fair trade campaigns! She visited local households and shops to persuade them not to use sugar produced in the Caribbean, claiming that, "abstinence from sugar would sign the death warrant of West Indian slavery."
pp. 325 + Eight full page lithographed satirical plates by August Hervieu, who accompanied Mrs. Trollope on her American tour. Foxed. Worn contemporary full cloth binding. "Landing at New Orleans in late December, 1827, she went almost immediately up the river to Memphis and thence to Louisville and Cincinnati, reaching the latter place about February 10, 1828. At Memphis she tarried a few days and went to visit Francis Wright's near-by Nashoba Community, which oppressed her with its unfinished buildings and primitive surroundings. After leaving Cincinnati, the scene of her most violent tirades against the United States, she passed the summer of 1830 in Maryland. Here she observed slavery, especially among the small landed proprietors, and found the slaves not badly treated, although she believed the essence of the system to be bad" - Clark 112. She also visited Pennsylvania, Baltimore, Washington, and New York. "A minor classic of looking down one's nose" - Streeter 845. Her book became an instant best seller. Her attacks on the Americans assured that the book would be an object of great controversy, and would sell on both sides of the Atlantic. Nevins calls it "the most prejudiced and hotly discussed of all British books of travel in the United States." Sabin 97028; Howes T35; Robinson p. 197. FIRST U.S. EDITION. **PRICE JUST REDUCED! W147

In reply to "An Address to the Members of the New Parliament, on the proceedings of the Colonial Department.....", which held that if slaves were freed they would not work, and as a consequence the colonialist's properties would fall into decay through lack of labourers.

Senza data ma 1825, la Libreria Viscontini non stampò nulla dopo il 1826. Prima edizione italiana, una seconda fu stampata solo nel 1853 da Borroni e Scotti, di questo romanzo "abolizionista", scritta dal noto giornalista, storico e scrittore americano, Richard Hildreth (Deerfield, Massachusetts 28 giugno 1807 - Firenze 11 luglio 1865). È meglio conosciuto per aver scritto una nota Storia degli Stati Uniti d'America in sei volumi che copre il periodo 1497-1821 che venne pubblicata nel 1840-1853. Gli storici la considerano una storia politica molto accurata della prima Repubblica ma con un forte pregiudizio a favore del Partito Federalista e dell'abolizione della schiavitù. L'autore frequentò la Phillips Exeter Academy, a partire dal 1816, e rimanendo per sette anni. Nel 1826 si laureò all'Harvard College. Dopo aver studiato legge a Newburyport, fu ammesso all'Ordine degli Avvocati di Boston nel 1830. Nel 1832, Hildreth divenne co-fondatore ed editore del quotidiano "Boston Atlas". Nel 1834, scrisse questo popolare romanzo contro la schiavitù "The Slave: or Memoir of Archy Moore" pubblicato nel 1836, poi ampliato nel 1852. Nel 1837 scrisse per l'"Atlas" una serie di articoli che si opponevano con forza all'annessione del Texas. Nello stesso anno pubblicò un importante scritto sulle banche e la valuta cartacea, opera che ha contribuito a promuovere la crescita del sistema bancario libero in America. Nel 1838 riprese i suoi doveri editoriali sull'Atlas, ma nel 1840 si trasferì, a causa della sua salute, nella Guyana britannica, dove visse per tre anni e fu redattore di due settimanali che uscivano in contemporanea a Georgetown. Nello stesso anno pubblicò in questo un volume in opposizione alla schiavitù, Dispotismo in America (2a ed., 1854). Tra il 1857 e il 1860 Hildreth lavorò per il New York Tribune e nello stesso periodo scrisse diversi trattati contro la schiavitù per il nascente partito repubblicano sotto vari pseudonimi. La cattiva salute lo costrinse a ritirarsi dalla sua carriera di scrittore nel 1860. In qualità di governatore del Massachusetts, Nathaniel Prentiss Banks e il senatore Charles Sumner, fecero pressioni per la nomina di Hildreth come console degli Stati Uniti a Trieste, carica che ottenne, nel 1861. Nel 1865 si dimise da quella posizione e si trasferì a Firenze, dove morì l'11 luglio 1865. È sepolto vicino a Theodore Parker nel Cimitero degli Inglesi, Firenze. Questa prima edizione italiana è assai rara.
