Description: Book Description—George Frances Dow, Slave Ships and Slaving. Salem, Massachusetts—Marine Research Society, 1927, 349 indexed pages plus publisher’s ad. Fully illustrated. First Edition. 7 ½” x 10”. Gilt title on black boards. Cover very slightly scuffed and owner’s name on inside front cover. Other-wise tight binding and clean pages. Very good condition. After noting the “cruelty and horror of ‘the middle passage’,” the author explains that his volume does not attempt to give a history of the African slave trade, but instead “presents and account of the trade as conducted at different times and by different nations and is a piece of narrative and description and not a history of events.” Still, the numerous narratives and incidents that Dow writes about help to combine research and history into fascinating yet horrifying accounts of the slave trade.
