first edition, rare. A very detailed legal, ethical and logical argument for citizenship for the Negro. Andrew Dickson White (1832-1918), diplomat, historian, educator and New York State Assemblyman, was also one of the founders of Cornell University. A staunch abolitionist, White was the author of "Abolition of Slavery the Right of Government under the War Powers Act" (1861), as well as several other legal arguments in favor of the Negro.No copy at auction in the last 30 years; OCLC locates only one copy [not surprisingly] at Cornell.
