Uncle Tom's Cabin [or, Life Among the Lowly]

xxii, 634, [16] pp. 8vo. Decorative cloth with gilt titles and decorations. "This is a book that changed history. Harriet Beecher Stowe was appalled by slavery, and she took one of the few options open to nineteenth century women who wanted to affect public opinion: she wrote a novel, a huge, enthralling narrative that claimed the heart, soul, and politics of pre-Civil War Americans." - Bauermeister
