18489627np 1848. 16pp disbound and stitched minor scattered spotting. Very Good. <br /> <br /> NUC attributes authorship to Adams identified here only as "a Whig of the Free States." He is appalled at his Party's impending nomination of Zachary Taylor for the presidency. Taylor a Louisiana slaveholder had never voted or participated in civil affairs. His military career most recently in the Mexican War which northern Whigs had generally opposed as an unconstitutional land-grab for slavery was his only public activity. <br /> "He is a Military Chieftain-- and he is a Slave owner and in favor of the Extension of Slavery over new territories." Webster deserves the nomination: "Let there be no wavering none of the contemptible expediency doctrine which leads men to declare in one breath that Mr. Webster is their first choice and to say the next moment that they are ready to vote for General Taylor." <br /> FIRST EDITION.

Marbled endpapers. New front free endpapers. Sunning to spine. A very few light smudges and tiny blems to deerskin - hardly noticeable. Stowe's thesis is that "the chain of documentary evidence has been broken. The author writes in the preface: ".Each one of the books of the New Testament must be traced up to the Apostles who only had authority to deliver inspired books to the churches. This is what the present volume professes to do. It is a book of authorities and testimonies; it is the tracing and verifying of title deeds." "But there are some deeds in which the chain is broken before we get to the original proprietors; there are some which are forgeries and others which were given by the persons whose names they bear but these persons had no authority to make the sales. All such deeds are invalid and confer no title." "These latter deeds represent the apocryphal books. It is proposed to show that every one of the apocryphal books belongs to one of these three classes to wit: 1. They can not be traced to the apostles; 2. Some of them are proved to be forgeries; 3. And others though genuine were written by persons who had no apostolic authority to give them to the churches." <br /> <br /> Stowe was married to Harriet Beecher Stowe and while the two were part of a group which provided shelter to northward-bound freedom seekers aka escaped slaves or free Blacks "<br /> <br /> ".As references in William Lloyd Garrison's radical abolitionist paper The Liberator document although Stowe privately decried slavery he was no abolitionist. He believed slavery was sanctioned by the Bible and that through Christian education slavery would gradually fade away. He was instead an advocate of colonization of free Blacks in Liberia as a "solution" to slavery. It was only after his wife Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin was published in 1852 that Stowe began haltingly to change his stance regarding slavery first as a signatory to a petition of New England clergy in opposition to the Kansas-Nebraska Act issued in 1854.Wikipedia.
