By a Carolinian.', Cambridge, [Massachusetts], John Bartlett, 1852, 1st edition, [2],[3]-53pp. A pro-slavery tract in response to the question "What do you think of 'Uncle Tom's Cabin' at the South."

Two sermons', London, National Sunday League, 1856, 23,[1]pp, Nathan Appleton: 'Labor, Its Relations in Europe and the United States Compared', Boston [MA], Eastburn's Press, 1844, 16pp, etc etc, contemporary half calf gilt (worn, large part of backstrip detached but present)
