September 18, 1852

NEW YORK DAILY TIMES, Sept. 18, 1852  Page 2 has a news piece from England headed: "Uncle Tom's Cabin" noting in part: "The work which is now exciting a most vivid interest among all classes here in 'Uncle Tom's Cabin', of which five or six editions...are already before the public. Uncle tom is not quite so tremendous a hit in England as with you, but its vivid portraiture of Negro life..." with more.
This essentially serves as an introduction to a quite lengthy British review of the work by Harriet Beecher Stowe with page 6 beginning with column heads: "American Slavery" " English Opinion of 'Uncle Tom's Cabin' " "Evils of Slavery--Method of its Removal--Dangers of Agitation--Colonization, etc." This very extensive review takes nearly 3 1/2 columns, over half of the page. Its success in England was such that the Wikipedia report includes a full paragraph to the English reaction to it.
Eight pages, minimal margin wear, a bit of foxing, generally in nice condition.
