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.

Complete sound and Good. <br /> <br /> One of a tiny number of pre-Civil War abolitionist texts to have been written by a Virginia author. Paxton 1784-1868 was a Presbyterian minister born in Rockbridge County Virginia and educated at Princeton Theological Seminary; it is likely his mentorship there under Charles Hodge helped develop Paxton's antislavery sentiments. In 1826 after publishing an essay asserting the institution of slavery to be incompatible with the teachings of the Bible Paxton was expelled from his pastorship of Cumberland Presbyterian Church near Farmville in south-central Virginia. The present text addressed to his former congregation recounts the events of his expulsion reprints the essay in question and adds a series of epistolary essays supporting his theological position in oppostion to slavery. <br /> <br /> The existence of any abolitionist sentiment during this period in Virginia's history is remarkable in itself. For a native-born minister to willfully preach the gospel of antislavery even the relatively conservative version of abolitionism professed by Paxton before a congregation whose sentiments on the subject would have been diametrically opposed - and which doubtless included a number of slaveholding families - must have amounted to apostasy in some congregants' eyes. By publishing the present work Paxton essentially doubled down on his unpopular beliefs making him in this cataloguer's eyes a rather remarkable figure. We find it surprising that so little biographical information exists regarding Paxton. His name barely appears in the scholarly literature on the period; perhaps because no mention of abolition is made in either the title nor the sub-title of his book the work is rarely discussed in articles on the antebellum southern antislavery movement. Though reasonably available institutionally Letters on Slavery is perenially scarce in commerce having appeared at auction only three times in the current century.

In the General Assembly of the Leeward Islands in 1798 he advocated the abolition of the slave trade better treatment for enslaved workers and an end to the slave trade. He wrote extensively on the desirability of humane treatment for plantation slaves and the abolition of the slave trade as well as political topics including his support for the Embargo. <br />The first part of this book effectively a detailed description the workings of a West Indian sugar cane plantation benefits from Caines's first hand experience of the topic. The second part p.249-288 contains his 'Speech on the Slave Trade' delivered to the General Assembly of the Leeward Islands in March 1798 which was discussing a resolution that the abolition of slave trade 'would be oppressive to the British planter destructive to the sugar colonies and consequently to the British Revenue and of no benefit to the Africans themselves'. Caines unambiguously stated "the slave-trade ought to be abolished. It ought to be abolished immediately. It ought immediately to be abolished for the sake and benefit of the planter". Caines argued that the slave trade was injurious not only to the slaves but to their owners. Having observed the death rates from exposure overwork and disease involved in forest clearing he bluntly stated that slave labour "cements with blood the walls of every sugar-work that is raised where forests grew". He stated that his business had "never been delegated to others. The slaves who were committed to my care performed their work under my own eyes. My time was passed with them and my attention devoted to them and their condition. I could not fail then to become acquainted with their wants and sufferings - to remark their sickness disability and premature decay: - the diseases among their men the sterility of their women and the death among their children". He directly challenged his hearers for their calculation "that a hardy African can be purchased for less than a Creole infant can be reared" and their consequent failure to provide adequate housing for mothers and children. He reports that about a quarter of newly arrived slaves on discovering their situation "pine and droop linger rather than live and shortly sink into the grave". Only an end to the importation of new slaves could disrupt the planters' callous calculation that they could "run our Negroes for two or three years" in the certainty that they could be then be replaced. Caines's familiarity with the actuality of slave life and his eloquent and direct illustration of it give this work an especial power.</p><p><br />Interestingly in 1811 Caines wrote to both Thomas Jefferson and James Madison sending copies of his publications vide https://founders.archives.gov/documents/Jefferson/03-03-02-0394 .</p> Printed for Messrs Robinson hardcover
