Excerpt from Fettered Freedom: Civil Liberties and the Slavery Controversy, 1830-1860The beginnings of immediate emancipation, more popu larly referred to simply as abolition, may be dated approxi mately from the appearance of William Lloyd Garrison's Liberator in I stand, said Garrison in his first number for the immediate enfranchisement of our slave population. The idea of immediate freedom for the slave had its origin in British antislavery circles in the 'twenties, and was adopted by Garrison soon after. As interpreted by him, immediatism in volved no really ordered or practical plan; It consisted of free ing Negro slaves, and that only. The various economic, social, and political problems incidental to their emancipation never caught his interest.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

When Russel B. Nye and Martin Gardner teamed up to bring out a new edition of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, theirs was the first critical analysis of L. Frank Baum American classic. The book opens with an essay by Nye, entitled "An Appreciation," which is an overview of Baum's creative and imaginative genius. Nye explores the reasons why earlier critics virtually ignored the Oz stories. Gardner, in his essay, "The Royal Historian of Oz," presents a brief biographical sketch, revealing little-known facts about this prolific writer. The volume also contains the complete, original text of the Wonderful Wizard of Oz, along with many original illustrations by artist W. W. Denslow.
