March 03, 1852
THE NATIONAL ERA, Washington, D.C., March 3, 1853 This newspaper is forever linked to the best-selling novel of the 19th century: "Uncle Tom's Cabin", for the book was originally released as a 40 week serial in this anti-slavery newspaper beginning in June, 1851. It was the newspaper's publisher who encouraged Stowe to produce the work in book form, and it is common consensus that the book had much to do with popularizing sentiment which lead to the Civil War.
So it is not surprising that page 3 has an ad for the sale of: "Uncle Tom's Cabin" noting: "Price 37 12 cents" and: "S cheap edition of this work has been published at the reduced price of 37 1/2 cents per copy, or it will be mailed to any part of the United States..." There is also a heading: "A Key To Uncle Tom's Cabin" and another: "Uncle Tom's Cabin In German" with other details.
Four pages, large folio size, wear at a horizontal fold, various light foxing or dirtiness, never bound nor trimmed, a small indent at the blank spine. Folder size noted is for the issue folded in half.
