Reprinted from the Garland series Slavery, Race, and the American Legal System, 1700-1872. There are 19 facsimiles in these two volumes. All are collections of slave statutes.

Highlights include Sketch of the Laws Relating to Slavery in the Several States of the United States of America (1827), Address to the Citizens of the State of Ohio Concerning What Are Called the Black Laws (1848) and the slave codes of Illinois (1841) and the District of Columbia (1862).

They will prove valuable to historians, lawyers, law teachers and students, and all persons interested in the problems of slavery and race in American experience." William M. Wiecek, American Journal of Legal History 33 (1989) 187.
