3. Samuel Nott, Slavery, and the Remedy; Or, Principles and Suggestions for a Remedial Code, 2nd ed. (Boston: Crocker & Brewster, 1856). (118 p.)


Defense of slavery with a critique of abolitionists. The author suggests that persons endorsing an anti-slavery bias in the North are acting hypocritically when they demand emancipation for slaves in the South but refuse to let freemen immigrate to Northern free states in large numbers. The remedy for this antagonism between the sections is for both sides to work together to insure that slaves are treated fairly and provided with good living conditions. (The collection has a sixth edition of this monograph in volume 65 [no. 4].)
