	Title:	Richard Price Papers
	Dates:	1767-1790
	Abstract:	Some correspondence relating to slavery in the Price Papers may be of interest to scholars of African American history. APS also possesses copies of Price's influential work "Observations on the Importance of the American Revolution" (print collection) in which, among other things, he condemns slavery. The Price papers contain Thomas Jefferson's response to this work (see above), complete with an analysis of how Price's antislavery message may meet with a mixed response from Americans.
