White Slavery in the Barbary States - 1853

Author: Charles Sumner
Full Title: White Slavery in the Barbary States
Published: Boston, 1853

135 pp.

An ornately blind-tooled mid-19th century publisher's period green/ brown cloth binding.  Boards are intricately blind-tooled in rule, central gilt title and author on top board.  Spine is slightly sunned and boards exhibit several small areas of light fading but, in all, quite a nice example.  Binding is tight and sound.

Text block is mostly clean w/ numerous woodcuts throughout.  Previous owner inscription in pencil on f.f.e, "Geo. G. Fogg - 1853".

A charming and clean example of this mid-19th century history on slavery in the North African states of Tripolitania, Tunisia, Algeria and Morocco.

Measures 7" H  x  4 3/4" W. 

In all, a very nice example of this item, much better than expected.
