Cloth. Condizione: Very good. Second Edition. Duodecimo size, 426 pp. Pierre-Suzanne-Augustin Cochin (1823-1872), at one time the mayor of Paris, was an ardent supporter of the ongoing civil war in the United States in order to emancipate the enslaved. His work gained so much recognition that he was knighted by Pope Pius IX for his work in the abolition of slavery. In this volume the author presents both historical and then-current facts to support the benefits observed in other areas where slavery was abolished, most notably the British West India Islands (n.b., information from Wiki). Originally written in French, the translator, Mary Louise Booth (1831-1889) has a fascinating life-story. Self-taught in several languages, she became proficient in French. Being passionately anti-slavery, she supported the Union cause duriong the Civil War. In support of this cause she translated, within a week (in order to meet the publisher's deadline), "Uprising of a Great People" by Agénor de Gasparin, which "created a sensation among Unionists, and she received letters of thanks for it from U.S. Senator Charles Sumner and President Abraham Lincoln." Due to that she was asked to translate this work, "The Results of Emancipation", which added to the cry to abolish slavery in the United States (ibid). Originally published in 1862, this the second edition; however, as of this writing we see no first editions online (there are several second editions). ___DESCRIPTION: Bound in dark brown pebbled cloth over boards, publisher's device and ruled borders blind debossed to front and rear boards, title, author and publisher in gilt to spine, dark brown coated endpapers; duodecimo size (7 5/8" by 5 1/4"), pagination: [i-iii] iv-xiv, 1-411, 412. ___CONDITION: A solid very good copy, the boards clean other than a few light spots, the corners are sharp with a hint of rubbing, entirely free of prior owner markings; the spine is sunned and has small puncture above the publisher's name which resulted in a small dark spot in the guttar margins of pp. 247-289, some evidence of a prior owner repair to the front hinge (now solid), the back hinge solid, while the interior is mostly clean there are scattered areas of light foxing. ___CITATION: Work, p. 365, which lists the 1863 third edition. ___POSTAGE: International customers, please note that additional postage may apply as the standard does not always cover costs; please inquire for details. ___Swan's Fine Books is pleased to be a member of the ABAA, ILAB, and IOBA and we stand behind every book we sell.
