Pamphlet, 8vo, removed, disbound, printed double column, 14 pp. Removed, dbd, some aging and browning; otherwise about very good. Edward Everett (1794-1865) was a Governor and U.S. Senator. In this speech he opposes what would become the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854, which would overturn the Missouri Compromise of 1820, and allow each new state to decide if would be a free or slave state. Many feel this act would end up moving us toward the Civil War. (Inventory #: 106017)
