THOMPSON, George. LETTERS AND ADDRESSES BY GEORGE THOMPSON DURING HIS 
MISSION IN THE UNITED STATES From Oct. 1st, 1834, to Nov. 27, 1835. 
Boston: Isaac Knapp, 1837. First Edition. Original cloth-backed printed 
boards (4" x 5-3/4"); xii, 126 pages. Complete with a printed note from 
William Lloyd Garrison. George Thompson was well-known to anti-slavery 
activists on both sides of the Atlantic. He was a powerful orator and 
fought for abolition throughout his personal and professional career, 
often risking his life in the process. “During the fifteen months from 
August 1834 to November 1835 nothing caused so much excitement in the 
American press, both pro-slavery and abolitionist, as the anti-slavery 
mission of the British reformer George Thompson” (Rice, C. Duncan; 
JOURNAL OF AMERICAN STUDIES, Vol. 2, No. 1, April 1968). Private library 
number in ink at top of title page, contents quite clean; front endpaper 
lacking; hinges cracked but holding. Some edgewear and staining to 
covers. Very Good. (#021578)        $850
