Address To The People Of West Virginia: Shewing That Slavery Is Injurious To The Public Welfare, And That It May Be Gradually Abolished Without Detriment To The Rights And Interests Of Slave Holders / By A Slaveholder Of West Virginia, Henry Ruffner

Ruffner, Henry, 1790-1861

In 1847, Ruffner delivered an anti-slavery address before the Franklin Society at Washington College; he was the school’s president at the time. It was revised for publication later that year, having been “enriched and strengthened” by the “impressive views” of others; in 1933, it was reprinted by The Green Bookman in Bridgewater, Virginia.
