1839106839<p>Pamphlet 8vo original blue wrappers 40 viii 7 1 pp. Very slight edgewear normal aging otherwise excellent condition. The Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society was founded in 1835 but it appears to be the successor to the New England Anti-Slavery Society founded a few years earlier in 1831. This installment gives a glimpse of the organization's membership and finances. The pamphlet also presents some of the group's resolutions including their strong rejection of the Colonization Society which wanted to send slaves back to Africa. Interestingly the society discusses "the women question" which appears to have been settled by a vote to include women as members.</p> Isaac Knapp,
