Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Neglected Period of Anti-Slavery in America (1808-1831)
The research involved was carried on principally in the vicinity of Boston, where exhaustive use has been made of the Harvard University Library; the Boston Public Library; the Athenaeum; the Massachusetts State Library; the Newton Public Library; and various private libraries. The writer has also personally visited the Library of Congress; Brown University Library; the Library of the Historical Society of Rhode Island, at Providence; and that of Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore. Many thanks are due the librarians and assistants, who were of great aid in the investigation. In addition to these, many libraries were kind enough to send to Harvard Library for consultation books which could not be otherwise obtained. Among these were the Library Company of Philadelphia, Ridgeway Branch; the New York State Library; the Historical Society of Penn sylvania; Cornell University; the University of Pennsylvania; the Historical Society of Wisconsin; the American Antiquarian Society, Worcester, Mass; Oberlin College; and the Library of Congress.
