Philadelphia: S. C. Atkinson, Printer, 1831. 19, [1 blank] pp. Disbound with some loosening, light wear. Good+. Lewis is identified in the prefatory note as the author of the Address, which won the Pennsylvania Society for the Abolition of Slavery's prize for the best essay on the subject of banning slaveholders from church membership. The Society hopes "that the dark and portentous cloud which hangs over our country may be dispelled by the peaceable, but powerful, agency of christian principles." Evans argues that American Slavery is utterly incompatible "with the genius of our free institutions" and "the spirit and design of the christian religion." LCP 5831. Dumond 74. AI 7960 [5].
