In 1840 there was a split in the society, the seceding members forming a new organization under the name of American and Foreign Anti-slavery Society. No reports were published by the older society for a number of years (1840?-1854?) as reports of the Massachusetts Anti-slavery Society covered the ground. In 1853 it was decided by the American Society to resume the publication of reports and to merge in them the reports of the Massachusetts society. Owing to a delay, this was not carried out until 1855.
