Original Description:
Offered for sale is this antique 1855 FIRST EDITION book titled, MY BONDAGE AND MY FREEDOM Part I-Life as a Slave, Part II-Life as a Freeman by Frederick Douglass with an Introduction by Dr. James M'Cune Smith in fair to good overall condition. It has matching title page and copyright page dates of 1855 and was published by Miller, Orton & Mulligan out of New York and Auburn. It has an eight page advertising section in the rear and counting the frontispiece, has all 3 of its origin...al illustrations that can be seen in the photos. The book has a Part I that is titled, LIFE AS A SLAVE and a Part II titled, LIFE AS A FREEMAN.  It measures about 7 3/4" by 5 1/2" and has 464 pages. There is a pasted on bookplate under the front hardcover from what I believe was the original owner, a Mr. L. G. Andrews out of Beech Creek PA. who was a prominent man at the time. He made one of the mills in Beech Creek in the 1850's. There is also a signature on the first blank page from an early owner in 1964. There is foxing and yellowing as to be expected with this publication and wear on the edges along with some scuffing & rubbing. The brown cloth hardcovers have some discoloration and fading also as to be expected. The pages are tight and readable and the hinges work just fine. This is a very historic and collectible book and would make a fine addition to any public or private collection. Shipping and handling to any of the 50 states is FREE! I will only ship this to the United States. It will be well packed, boxed and shipped Priority Mail for a fast and safe delivery. Thank you for looking!
