Intact copies will be worth more. Obviously some of these went through numerous printings, so first printings will also be worth more. </p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s an ebay search for one of his more interesting later pamphlets illustrating this:</p><p><a href="https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&amp;_trksid=p2380057.m570.l1313&amp;_nkw=channing+letter+henry+clay&amp;_sacat=0" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&amp;_trksid=p2380057.m570.l1313&amp;_nkw=channing+letter+henry+clay&amp;_sacat=0" rel="nofollow">https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&amp;_trksid=p2380057.m570.l1313&amp;_nkw=channing+letter+henry+clay&amp;_sacat=0</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Channing was tremendously popular in his day, so there were at some point a lot on the dusty shelves of history, even if grumpy Calvinists did burn some. You&#039;d want to look up each individual pamphlet to see what&#039;s out there - certainly there could be some of value, but it looks like these run $15-25 apiece, and without knowing something about what Unitarian collectors hold in high esteem, it&#039;d be hard to justify more than maybe $250 for your collection. If there are any in there on abolition (anti-slavery), that&#039;s my bet on where the money is.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
