Letters on the Colonization Society : with a view of its probable results ... : addressed to the Hon. C.F. Mercer, M.H.R.U.S.
An 1832 American pamphlet of letters by Mathew Carey to Charles Fenton Mercer, arguing for and assessing the American Colonization Society's plan to resettle free Black Americans in Liberia. The pictures are plain black-and-white engravings: a town plan of Monrovia at Cape Montserado, a coastal map of the Liberian colony, and a cross-section of a slave ship with its deck plan. A designer might take the simple engraved line work, hatched shorelines and labelled diagrams as a model of early nineteenth-century technical print.
