Small octavo 7 3/4" x 5" bound in original publisher's blind stamped decorative gray cloth with gilt lettering to spine. Second edition.<br /><br />James Thome was the son of a Kentucky slaveholder. But from early on he harbored uneasy feelings about slavery and in 1834 that uneasiness turned to unqualified abhorrence when as a theological student he attended an extended debate on the morality of slavery. Soon Thome was serving as a traveling agent for the American Anti-Slavery Society and by 1837 he and a companion Horace Kimball were conducting a study for the society on the results of slave emancipation in the British West Indies. In the report on this trip Emancipation in the West Indies Thome and Kimball offered evidence that firmly refuted the prevailing belief among abolitionists that slavery could only be eliminated gradually because most slaves would need to be prepared for life in freedom. As a result the American Anti-Slavery Society shifted from its advocacy of gradual emancipation to a demand for "unconditional freedom without delay."<br /><br />Condition:<br /><br />Previous owner's neat old quil name on front pastedow; corners gently bumped; edge wear; corners and spine ends rubbed else about very good.
