5 3/4 x 9 3/8 in. pamphlet (old creases, light soiling).
A rare fundraising pamphlet issued by the International Migration Society (IMS) (1894-1899), one of the many Colonization societies from the 19th century. This pamphlet touts the Republic of Liberia especially in the Society's goal of Christianizing the African continent. The last page is signed by lawyer Henry C. Robinson. During its somewhat brief existence, the IMS was successful in funding three ships of African American migrants to Liberia. RARE: no other copies located.
