Inside View of Slavery: Or a Tour Among the Planters
Prefatory Note:
The following work is little more than a record of facts seen and learned during an extensive tour in the Southern States in 1852 and 1853, from a journal made at the time. This tour was made, and the notes had been used by the author as the basis of a series of lectures delivered in several of the New England States, before any other "view" of slavery had been published. Neither its origin nor its preparation has been induced, therefore, by any publication that has preceded it.
The manuscript copy, as originally prepared for the press, contained the entire names of individuals and places. At the suggestion of the publisher many of theses names have been suppressed, or the initials only inserted. But as this has been done solely from a regard for the feelings of those referred to, - many of whom are the author's personal friends, - any one desiring the names, with the view of testing the truth of any statements contained in the volume, can do so by applying to him, or the publisher.

Illicit
Jack Woodford (1894–1971) was an American novelist and non-fiction writer, author of successful pulp novels and non-fiction of the 1930s and 1940s. He wrote unique books on writing and getting published. Most famously, Woodford authored Trial and Error which caused something of a scandal at the time of publication because of its no-holds-barred insights into the publishing industry.
Born Josiah Pitts Woolfolk, he also wrote under the name Jack Woolfolk. The pen name "Jack Woodford" was derived from the first name of a writer he admired (Jack Lait, a writer for Hearst Publications) and the county where his father was born (Woodford County, Kentucky).
This book has a dark green dust jacket with yellow and white lettering, and a color cover illustration of some disembodied male heads regarding a woman in a two-piece bathing suit. Dust jacket has some edgewear, and spotting on flap edges; book has minor wear, mostly a clean copy. 246 pages; 6 x 8
