[Pierce, Franklin]:

A BRIEF CHAPTER IN THE LIFE OF GENERAL FRANKLIN PIERCE. FROM THE NATIONAL ERA OF JUNE 17. MR. PIERCE AND THE ANTI-SLAVERY MOVEMENT.

[Washington: Buell & Blanchard, 1852]. 8pp, caption title (as issued). Disbound with light to moderate foxing. Good+.

All the copies that Miles examined were, like this copy, disbound. The pamphlet exposes Pierce's consistent alliance, during his entire political career, with the pro-slavery South. Pierce supported the infamous Gag Rule, prohibiting discussion in Congress of anti-slavery petitions; he has always opposed efforts to restrict slavery.
