Description:
London: Printed for John Stockdale, 1799. 4to, contemporary tree calf, spine gilt in compartments with green morocco gilt label. xxiv, 464 pp., plus sixteen maps and plates (one map folding and hand-colored), including frontispiece. Weld, an Irishman, arrived in Philadelphia in late 1795 at the age of nineteen. His observations during two years of travels through eastern North America and Canada, told through a series of letters, comprise one of the most popular narratives of the day. Story wrote that "his account of Canada (letters 21-25) is a clear and sustained description of an area and a way of life that pleased him more than had the United States." Weld made one trip south as far as Virginia, as well as crossing Pennsylvania and New York. He said that he left the United States "without a sigh, and without entertaining the slightest wish to revisit it." The engraved plates are after sketches by the author. The map, with its borders and those of the states colored by hand, shows the east coast…

Pittsburgh: United Presbyterian Board of Publication, 1864. 16mo (6.875" x 4.5"), printed beige wrappers. vii, 13-154 pp. CONDITION: Very good, dampstains to wrappers and light wear to extremities. A revised edition of this work by an important abolitionist whose writings were a source of information and inspiration for Harriet Beecher Stowe. Originally published in 1837 in The Anti-Slavery Examiner, this Biblical argument against slavery underwent several editions. Weld's introduction recounts how, "When first published, many copies were sent through the post-office into the Slave States Most of these were publicly burned at their places of delivery," but one copy, which "fell into the hands of Rev. Wm. H. Brisbane, a slaveholding Baptist clergyman and editor in that city" found that, in writing a refutation of Weld's arguments, "the faith he scouted had become his own. He left his native state, made his slaves free, settled them in Ohio, and pulished an able work, vindicating the Bible from…
