Up for consideration today is A JOURNEY IN THE SEABOARD SLAVE STATES by Frederick Law Olmsted -1861

The book features a distinct stamp from the Pawtucket Library Association [Image]. This association was founded in 1852 and served as a private library until 1876, when it gifted its 4,700 volumes to the town to form the Pawtucket Public Library. The presence of this stamp confirms the book's history as part of one of Rhode Island's earliest public collections!
