About This Item
Nashville, Tenn: John L. Marling and Company, 1854. First Edition. Hardcover. Good -. Octavo, 706pp. Good at best in the publisher's dark brown blind-stamped cloth. Front hinge cracked, worn at the spine ends, and the frontispiece has been excised. Otherwise a clean copy with mostly bright white pages throughout. INSCRIBED by Brown's wife on the front paste-down: " Charles G. [Shill?]. Presented by Mrs. A. V. Brown. December 19th 1859." Includes a pretty nasty defense of Tennessee's laws prohibiting the free movement of free people of color within its territory, and, just following that speech, an interesting condemnation of capital punishment. Despite notable flaws, a desirable and scarce book, with none in the marketplace at present, and the last auction record appearing in 1959.

About Cleveland Book Company
We are proud members of the ABAA.
As a small, independent bookseller in Cleveland, Ohio, I deal in general used, rare, and antiquarian books, autographs, manuscripts, pamphlets, and personal and family papers in all subjects. My family has been in the antiquarian book business since 1971. Are you moving, downsizing, or doing some spring cleaning? Did you inherit or otherwise come into some old books? Or, maybe you've collected modern novels from the last thirty or fifty years. No matter what kinds of books you have, we'd love to take a look at them! We travel throughout Ohio, western Pennsylvania and New York, southern Michigan, and eastern Indiana, and will travel farther in some cases to look at whole libraries or even just a few particularly interesting books. Give us a call at (216) 352-3940 and we can talk more about the kinds of books you have.
