An important volume on the history and abolishment of slavery, penned by Sir John Harris to celebrate the centenary of abolition in Great Britain. A copy with an interesting provenance: an inked presentation inscription to the front free endpaper notes that it was presented to Barry Cambray Bloomfield, librarian and the bibliographer of Philip Larkin and W.H.Auden, by the Anti-Slavery Society in recognition of his services to the Society in cataloguing their library..
