September 08, 1854
FREDERICK DOUGLASS' PAPER, Rochester, New York, Sept. 8, 1854 We are pleased to offer this exceedingly rare--and highly desirable--newspaper by the famed Frederick Douglass. This weekly title is the continuation of his newspaper "North Star" which began in 1847.
Among the articles: "The Results of Emancipation" "The Fugitive Slave Act--Proposition For Its Repeal" "What Becomes of the Free Colored People" "Colored Emigration Convention" "Aid To Fugitives" "Special Meeting of the American Anti-Slavery Society" "Riot of the Ohio Underground Railroad"
Four pagodas, never bound nor trimmed, very nice condition. Although we have offered a few of this title over the years, this may well be the issue in the best condition.
A very fine and rare opportunity for one of the more sought-after titles of the 19th century.
