Cited as "Fourth thousand" above publisher information. Previous documentation indicates this is a first edition. Published by Burdick Brothers. Signed on inner front cover by B.B. Eldridge. Introduction states: "it has been no part of my purpose to cast unmerited opprobrium upon slaveholders, or to display any special friendliness or sympathy for the blacks... An irrepressibly active desire to do something to elevate the South to an honorable and powerful position among the enlightened quarters of the globe, has been the great leading principle... in the preparation of the present volume..."
Helper was United States consul at Buenos Aires, Argentina, 1861-1867. He traveled extensively, and wrote several books besides 'Impending Crisis,' including 'The Negroes in Negroland, the Negroes in America, and the Negroes Generally' (1868).
