SECESSION, AND ITS CAUSES, IN A LETTER TO VISCOUNT PALMERSTON, K. G., PRIME MINISTER OF ENGLAND
1861 · New York
by Wikoff, Henry
New York: Ross & Tousey, 1861. 84pp. Disbound without wraps, several old rubberstamps, else Very Good.
DAB's sketch of Wikoff, "an author and adventurer, of dubious origins," includes this "pamphlet dispute with Palmerston." His long, detailed discussion of the history and economics of slavery in the New World justifies the South's insistence on maintaining and expanding its Peculiar Institution. He argues that, "Free Black labor is a mere illusion!"
LCP 11195. Not in Sabin, Bartlett, Work, Blockson, Eberstadt, Decker. (Inventory #: 17946)
