186018886Charleston: Evans & Cogswell 1860. Paperback. 8vo. Wrappers. 6pp. Very good. Although the goal of this report was to urge the state conventions of South Carolina Alabama Mississippi and Florida "that no final separate State action shall be taken upon the question of secession from the Union until a general Convention of the Southern States can be had" it was not received before South Carolina's withdrawal; therefore this pamphlet became South Carolina's attempt "briefly to state the causes which induced the passage of the Ordinance" to Georgians. This she does passionately and yes briefly. A very scarce Confederate imprint. PARRISH 3815. Evans & Cogswell paperback
