Prince escaped in 1828 and sought assistance from the Anti-Slavery Society. Brief, forthright, and unvarnished, Prince's account sparked outrage and catalyzed change during a pivotal moment when stormy debates on abolition were raging on both sides of the Atlantic. It inspired two libel actions and sold out of three printings in the year of its publication. This powerful cry for emancipation stands as a seminal work of abolitionist literature. This edition is a republication of the complete 1831 edition and includes additional related texts, an in-depth essay, and a detailed biographical timeline.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.24 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 19, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51782109233440,"sku":"9781962572071","price":8.62,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/b56f9105d594c55f9c4155bd5d1fb303.webp?v=1780563227","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/the-history-of-mary-prince-warbler-classics-annotated-edition-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
