1834 1st ed William Wilberforce Memoir anti SLAVERY Slave Abolition AmericaWilliam Wilberforce was an 18th-century British politician who is best remembered for his role in helping abolish slave trade in the western world. His campaign to abolish slavery led to the Slavery Abolition Act in 1833, which inspired author Thomas Price to publish a memoir highlighting Wilberforce's role in the slavery abolition.
This 1834 first American edition of Price's 'Memoir' was published from the first London edition, printed in 1833. It was published in Boston in hopes of contributing to the end of slavery in the United States, which at the time, was still prominent in the South.

The pages are white, crisp and clear of any markings. "This is a history of the visual arts produced in the geographical area that now constitutes the United States. Such a book is difficult to title. A History of United States Art sounds awkward and logically might even be construed to exclude the arts of the colonial period. Thus, with apologies to our northern and southern neighbors, I use the title A History of American Art, knowing full well that the terms America and the United States are not synonymous...." - Preface from A History of American Art
