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.
Page 3 has an ad for the book headed: "Uncle Tom's Cabin for 37 1/2 Cents!" with much more.
Various anti-slavery items also in this issue, plus unrelated ads as well.
Four pages, never bound nor trimmed, in "2nd rate" condition due to several holes at folds and breaks at several creases, irregular at the margins, various foxing.
