Campbell. | In which much of the false Philanthropy and Mawkish Sentimentalism of the Abolitionists is met and Refuted. In which it is moreover shown that the Association of the White and Black Races in the Relation of Master and Slave is the appointed Order of God, as set forth in the Bible, and Constitutes the best Social Condition of both Races, and the only true Principle of Republicanism. By a Southern Clergyman. Hamburg, S. C.: Printed by Robinson and Carlisle. 1851.
Paper pamphlet, 8 x 5 ¼, cuts in the rear leaf with 25% of that leaf detached and present, short closed cut in next leaf, 46 pages + 2-page appendix. Top fold unopened after the first few leaves. Very good but for the rear cuts.
Iveson L. Brooks (1793-1865), Baptist minister, born in North Carolina. “He graduated with distinction at the University of North Carolina. Here he was contemporary with Thos. H. Benton and Jas. K. Polk. With the latter he kept up a correspondence during life. He was a lieutenant in the war of 1812. He was baptized after retiring from the army, and at once began to preach. His first pastorate was in Georgetown, S. C. He finally settled in Edgefield, Co., S. C. He devoted himself to preaching to several country churches and to the instruction of his servants. Rev. J. C. Butler, one of our most useful and respected colored ministers, gratefully remembers the instructions of his former master.” – Cathcart, Baptist Encyclopedia.
