Additional Details

Much of this volume tells the story of "The Boston Riot" directed at the offices of the Boston Female Anti-Slavery Society. A false rumor circulated that British abolitionist George Thompson was to speak at their October 1835 meeting. The Boston Commercial Gazette stirred up an angry mob which descended on the anti-slavery meeting, and the American abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison was nearly lynched. Sabin 11994.
