8vo. 87, [1] pp. Printed blue-green publisher's softcovers, contents on back cover, punch-sewn at gutter margin as issued (minor edgewear, slight chipping to spine, 1 closed tear w/ minor archival repair on inner back cover), still VG- copy. First edition of this surprisingly uncommon report of the second meeting of this pioneering American abolitionist society founded by William Lloyd Garrison, editor of The Liberator magazine, and Arthur Tappan, while also featuring contributions by Frederick Douglass, and William Wells Brown, an African-American freedman. The society was very controversial as by the mid-1830's slavery was ensconced into the American economy, feeding wealth not only to Southern planters, but also Northern merchants, textile factory owners, and shipowners. The first meeting, and later misrepresentation had set off violent the violent Farren riots in New York where abolitionists homes and properties were attacked. The 1835 meeting not only agreed on the Society Constitution, but also used fundraising to sponsor a great postal campaign to flood the South with Abolitionist literature. White supremacists responded by seizing and destroying the mail, and on July 29, 1835, 3000 people gathered to burn Abolitionist writings, and burn three in effigy. The speeches detail the progress of the result of Great Britain freeing 800,000 slaves, encouraging continued efforts to enroll African-American children and freed slaves into schools, and declared that "prejudice which excludes our colored brethren from the rights and privileges of Men, the Society lays the axe at the root of slavery. It removes the final bugbear that 'the Slaves will be worse off when emancipated.'" This also features the extended interview and discussion with Abolitionist former slaveholder James Gillespie Briney (1792-1857) who freed his slaves, joined the American Anti-Slavery Society, and founded The Philanthropist in Cincinnati, OH in 1835 after selling his plantation.
