First Edition. Uncommon, COPAC lists Oxford only. Conder was a bookseller and author, friend and correspondent of James Montgomery, Robert Southey, Rev.. Robert Hall, Rev. John Foster, and other literary men of the day. He published numerous works of evangelical Protestantism, but he is best known for his editorship of the Modern Traveller, editing all thirty volumes; "The series was successful, despite the fact of its editor's never having left his native country." Here he argues that free labour in the colonies could be as economical and more productive than slave labour.
