FREDERICK DOUGLASS' PAPER, Rochester, New York, August 13, 1852
We are pleased to offer this exceedingly rare--and highly desirable--newspaper by the famed Frederick Douglass, this being a volume five issue. This weekly title is the continuation of his newspaper "North Star" which began in 1847.
This is just the second issue of this title we have had in over ten years, the previous issue having been sold to The Newseum (see item 202891).
Among the various articles in this issue are those headed "The Free Colored People's Conventoin" "Light In The South" "Free Soil Convention" "Second Anti-Slavery Festival" "A Nut for the Abolitionists" "Counterpart to Uncle Tom" "Practical Abolitionism" "No Repeal of the Fugitive Slave Law" "Abolition at the South" "Celebration of West India Emancipation" and much more.
This complete, four page issue was never bound nor trimmed, has various & scattered foxing throughout but nothing disfigurative nor causing loss of readability.
A very fine and rare opportunity for one of the more sought-after titles of the 19th century.
