iv, 390 pp. Volume 4 of the series. (8vo) half-calf and marbled paper-covered boards, spine ruled in gilt, morocco lettering piece. Inscribed by Horace Mann at front pastedown, "C. Sumner from Horace Mann 1847." Horace Mann inscriptions are uncommon and this is a superb association. Charles Sumner (1811–1874) was a U.S. Senator from Massachusetts, a radical abolitionist, and notable for his violent caning at the hands of South Carolina Congressman Preston Brooks in 1856, considered by some to be symbolic of the "breakdown of reasoned discourse" and the use of violence that eventually led to the American Civil War. Later ownership marks of Mary C. Chapman who was involved with the Boston Female Anti-Slavery Society and was a friend of poet Julia Ward Howe, Sumner, and Mann.
