[South Carolina]

Edité par Evans & Cogswell, Printers to the Convention, No.3 Broad and 103 East Bay Street, Charleston, 1860

13, [3 blank] pp. Original printed yellow wrappers bound into contemporary half green morocco and marbled paper over boards. Very Good. The printed wrapper provides the essential bibliographical information. Our front wrapper title prints "Causes" instead of "Cause." Our front wrapper imprint prints "Streets" instead of the title page's "street." Our copy is thus a variant unknown to Crandall or Parrish & Willingham, who recorded two issues of the Declaration. Eberstadt, as Harwell has noted, catalogued our "third variant of Crandall 1873, with both 'Causes' and 'Streets' on the wrapper." South Carolina was first to secede, certainly no surprise in view of its long-standing advocacy of State Rights, Nullification, and Southern Nationalism. The Declaration asserts that the "ends for which this Government was created have been defeated, and the Government has been made destructive of them by the action of the non-slaveholding States." The prime example of Northern treachery is the refusal to obey constitutional and statutory provisions requiring rendition of fugitive slaves. The Ordinance dissolving Carolina's tie to the Union is signed by the delegates in type. 163 Eberstadt 189. Harwell, Confederate Hundred 85. See, Crandall 1873; Parrish & Willingham 3761 and 3762; Streeter Sale 1270. N° de réf. du vendeur 41557
