40p. Partial wrapper (lacking back cover). 23cm. Soft crease. Old paper and glue remnants along left side of front cover (some lettering slightly obscured). Blank bottom corner of one leaf torn off. Cattered minor foxing. Contents sound and clean. First published in 1857. The author of this report (and a minority of one) was James Johnston Pettigrew, 1828-1863. The question being considered was apparently whether South Carolina should revive the slave trade. Pettigrew argued against its revival, although he was not against slavery. Pettigrew later served with distinction in the Confederate army, rising to the rank of Brigadier General. He was killed in 1863 during the Confederate retreat from Gettysburg.
