Book Details
Edition Notes
Holograph, signed.
In response to a note by Richard Davis Webb of Dublin, Benjamin Barron Wiffen encloses several contributions for publication in the Liberty Bell. Wiffen asked several people for contributions, all of whom responded. Not having received the copy of the Liberty Bell sent to him, Wiffen does not know if the Liberty Bell is limited to pieces on the subject of slavery. He advocates the value of "the peaceful amenities of literature."
In the postscript, Benjamin Barron Wiffen says that he heard the American abolitionists praised in Spain from the lips of Antonio Bergnes de las Casas of Barcelona, husband of a descendant of Bartolome de las Casas, friend of the Caribbean Indians. Following this postcript, Wiffen includes a list of the compositions sent (for publication in the Liberty Bell).
