- Notes:
- "At a Yearly Meeting of Friends held in Philadelphia, by adjournments from the 17th of the fourth month, to 21st of the same, inclusive, 1837. The suffering condition of our fellow men, descendants of the African race, who are subjected to the rigours of unconditional slavery, having long engaged the sympathy and commiseration of this meeting, the subject was referred at our last annual assembly, to the serious attention of the Meeting for Sufferings. An address to the citizens of the United States, prepared by that meeting, was ... read and deliberately considered ... and that meeting was directed to procure the printing of such number as they may judge needful for general distribution."--Verso of title page.
- "Signed in and on behalf of a meeting of the representatives of the religious Society of Friends, commonly called Quakers, in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, &c., held in Philadelphia, the 14th of the fourth month, 1837. Jonathan Evans, clerk."--Page 15.
