1866 Dutch book about Theodore Parker

1866 Dutch book about Theodore Parker, a famous American abolitionist heavily involved in the Anti-Slavery movement in the United States. A biography in French was published in 1863 by the French Protestant theologian, Albert Reville, that obviously tied in with the European interest in the question and in the Civil War.  The English translation of the title of his monumental book was "The Life and Writings of Theodore Parker." This is a rare Dutch translation of Reville's work that was published in Anheim, Holland in 1866 by D.A. Thieme entitled "Het Leven En De Werken Van Theodore Parker -- Een Hoofdstuk Uit De Geschiedenin Van De Afschaffing Der Slaverij In De Vereenigde Staten." 376 pages in robin's egg blue wraps. Some chipping to front cover and spine but overall good-very good condition. Deals with Parker's anti-slavery efforts, kidnappers, his trip to Europe, etc.
