second edition, printed one year after the first. scarce.Kingsley argued that slavery "when associated with cruelty and injustice, is revolting to every philanthropic mind; but when that idea is associated with justice and benevolence, slavery, commonly so called, easily amalgamates with the ordinary conditions of life"---i.e. Kingsley truly believed that slaves were better off than most of the white working-class, and that slavery fitted into, and benefited society as a whole.servies 1377. howes k167. streeter sale 1219. florida imprints 27. sabin 96750.
