Published in 1806, This 1838 Abolitionist pamphlet was originally stitched but the thread is long gone and it has now been tipped together by an old library cover with a portion of the title written in a calligraphic script. The library cover could probably be easily removed. Even though incomplete, this is still an interesting, and uncommon, report on the conditions of free African-Americans in and around Philadelphia in the 1830's. Incomplete.
