Channing, William E.:

EMANCIPATION: BY...

Boston: E.P. Peabody, 1840. 111, [1 blank] pp. Disbound, a couple of rubberstamps in margins. Else Very Good.

The first edition. Channing urges emancipation, but warns the Free States that they do not have the power to abolish slavery in the Slave States. Moreover, he does not wish "to give a political aspect to the anti-slavery cause. I am very unwilling, that it should take the form of a struggle for office and power."
