A deeply moving and resonant publication, this being the 1844 edition, which is rarely seen in the trade, and when a copy does appear it is typically in poor condition and lacking its wraps. The American Anti-Slavery Almanac was published yearly by the American Anti-Slavery Society beginning in 1836 as one of the Society's efforts to raise awareness of the realities of slavery in nineteenth century America. The yearly almanac compiled calendars and astronomical data with anti-slavery literature, art, and advertisements, in a small, neat pamphlet. The almanac did not call for uprising or violence, but rather served as a means to spread the word about the anti-slavery cause.
