Octavo. 180, 12 pages. Hardcover bound in original full taupe publisher's cloth. The binding has been rebacked with the original spine laid down and with the corners reinforced. New endpapers. A sound copy; the binding is a little tight. Text is toned. Complete with the frontis portrait and a large folding color map. A piece of paper (the 20th century binder's notes) were taped onto the Dedication page resulting in browning on that page and the facing page. This shows up a bit on the title page as well.

Presentation copy, inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper, "To William Monteith from his friend. James Redpath." In very good condition. We have never seen another signed and inscribed example. A description of the island, its society and government, published with the purpose of exhorting African Americans and anti slavery whites to move there. The Haitian government had endorsed Redpath, a white abolitionist, to act as representative in this endeavor. Blockson 2957; Sabin 68523 [The Geffard Edition]. Nº de ref. del artículo: 134221
