[CLARKSON, THOMAS]

An Essay on the Slavery and Commerce of the Human Species, Particularly the African, Translated from a Latin Dissertation which was Honoured with the First Prize in the University of Cambridge, for the year 1785, with Additions. Philadelphia: Re-Printed by Joseph Crukshank, 1786. First American edition. Slate-blue wrappers, possibly publisher's. 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 inches (22 x 14 cm); xix, [2], [22]-155 pp., [1] p. ads, including for Crukshank's edition of Phyllis Wheatley. Backstrip mostly perished, old stain on front cover and first interior leaf, name ("Wm. Morris") on front cover, "Fahnestock Bequest 1869" stamped in blind on title and succeeding page.
