Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - George Thompson's powerful account of his unjust imprisonment and treatment in the Missouri Penitentiary is a shocking expose of the harsh conditions and arbitrary justice of the American penal system. But it's also a story of hope, perseverance, and the power of the human spirit. Thompson's reflections and observations offer a unique glimpse into the life of an early 19th-century prisoner, and his fight for justice remains an inspiration to this day.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.This work is in the 'public domain in the United States of America, and possibly other nations.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Later printing. Hardcover in blindstamped floral design dark brown cloth with spine lettered in gilt. xii+ 377 pp. Frontispiece woodcut "The Interior Of The Jail In Palmyra Missouri". A firmly bound, copy, near fine with a touch of rounding to the tips. Three abolitionists, the Englishman George Thompson, and Americans James E. Burr and Alanson Work, attempted in 1841 to aid slaves trying to escape to freedom. The three were arrested in Missouri for grand larceny, convicted and sentenced to 12 years hard labor in the state penitentiary. None served their entire sentences, Thompson serving the longest (five years). Work, the oldest of the three, was living at the Mission Institute across the Mississippi River from Missouri, while his children were being educated; Burr and Thompson were students there studying for the ministry. In July, 1841, Burr crossed the river on "a tour of mercy", reaching an agreement with two slaves to meet again on a certain night and be transported across the river to freedom. When that night came, the three abolitionists were ambushed by a group of slaves and their armed masters and arrested.…

Zustand: VERY GOOD. Second edition. An unusual very early copy of this contemporary picture of the abolitionist movement in the years before the Civil War. Alanson Work (1790-1879) had a wife and four children, who were all living at the Mission Institute (just across the river from the slave state of Missouri) and Thompson and James E. Burr (1814-1859) were young men studying for the ministry. In July of 1841, these three men crossed the Mississippi River into Marion County, Missouri from Quincy, Illinois, with the intent of helping slaves escape to Canada. They were sentenced to twelve years at the Missouri State Penitentiary for "slave abduction" but were later pardoned in 1845 to 1846 (Work first, then Burr and Thompson last). Although the petition supporting the request for a pardon for these three prisioners commented that they had been sentenced for "no crime unless it be a crime to obey the explicit commands of Jesus Christ. . . Slavery is in itself an open and palpable violation of every principle of natural justice and divine equity and that therefore no laws enacted by man to uphold it can be of any binding moral obligation whatever. " Thompson's own request for a pardon was more circumspect "Although we cannot feel that Slavery is right, yet we do feel that much of our effort to do it away has been a 'zeal not according to knowledge'; and can now exercise a charity for slaveholders, which we did not before possess." The preface notes that the first edition met with "so speedy a sale that another edition is being sent forth into the world." xii, 14-370 pp. Very good overall in publisher's original blind stamped cloth with gilt lettering on the spine - significant sunning to the spine and some to the edges of the boards, foxing throughout mostly affecting the margins, previous owner's name dated 1848. A tight and straight copy, uncommon both in this 1848 edition (it was reprinted numerous times by Work in the 1850s) and in this condition.…

Spine a tiny bit cocked, EX-LIBRARY, pp toned and a bit foxed, edge tear to title page else very good condition, contents tight and clean. In 1841, while attempting to free the slaves of R.N.

"Finally, whosoever has an ear, let it be open to the truth- an eye, let it search for the truth- a heart, let it receive and obey the truth. Whosever has a pen, let him use it- and a tongue, let him employ it in opposing Slavery- the Mother of Abominations in our land". FIRST EDITION.…
