The half-title is Dr. Burroughs's Discourse on Pauperism and it is in fact on that subject alone that the author concentrates. The Rector of St. John's church in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, Burroughs considered that the nature of public provision for the relief of the poor was 'one of the most momentous and interesting subjects of political economy'. It was a subject, he recognised, 'that deeply affects the civil, social, religious, and moral concerns of the community ... Though perfection in the system of providing for the poor cannot be attained, yet it may be to a much nearer degree approached. Many errors may be corrected; many corruptions may be healed; many evils may be remedied'. And Burroughs reviews local causes of poverty and local provision for the poor, while at the same time looking at the bigger picture, the policies and practices of Britain, and the views of the great political economists (Malthus, Say, Chalmers and others). He commends the practical humanity and public philanthropy of the new local alms-house or poorhouse and recommends its continued financial support by the residents of Portsmouth.

[Slave Narrative]. The Life and Sufferings of Leonard Black, a Fugitive from Slavery, 1st edition, New Bedford, [MA]: Press of Benjamin Lindsey, 1847, 61, [3]pp., errata at foot of p. 61, a little spotting, stitched as issued in original pale green wrappers printed in black, minor soiling, corner curling and light wear to extremities, 8vo (140 x 115 mm) (Qty: 1)NOTESLeonard Black (c.1820-1883) was born in Maryland and lived as a slave for over twenty years. In his narrative Black writes of cruel masters and mistresses and the many trials he endured. He converted to Christianity in 1836 and decided to enter the ministry. Shortly thereafter, he ran away, following his three brothers to Boston, Massachusetts and later Portland, Maine in 1837. He returned to Boston, where he lived for several years before moving to Providence, Rhode Island with his wife. Black closes his narrative with an essay on slavery and a short poem, ‘The Travelling Pilgrim’. Black hoped that revenue produced from this short sketch of his life would provide funds for the furthering of his education, better equipping him for the ministry. Very scarce.
