"Between 1950 and 1975, Philip S. Foner collected the most important of Douglass's hundreds of speeches, letters, articles, and editorials into an impressive five-volume set, now long out of print. Abridged, adapted, and supplemented with several important texts that Foner did not include, Frederick Douglass: Selected Speeches and Writings presents the most significant, insightful, and elegant short works of Douglass's massive oeuvre."--Jacket Notes "This book is an abridgement and adaptation of Philip S. Foner's The life and writings of Frederick Douglass, originally published in New York in five volumes, 1950-1975"--Title page verso Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Master and use copy.
