An abolitionist history of ancient and early medieval slavery from a Polish count who became a translator for Abraham Lincoln's State Department during the American Civil War. I read the Project Gutenberg version, which doesn't seem to be listed on goodreads. Some of the history is a little dated and the prose was a little stilted at times, but I thought it was fun and I loved how almost every chapter ended with a rant against the slave owners of the South.
