Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Life for Liberty: Anti-Slavery and Other Letters of Sallie Holley I Set out to make this book because my venerable friend Samuel May of Leicester, Massachusetts, and his friend Caroline F. Putnam of Lottsburgh, Virginia, wished to have it done; but as, in the course of my work, I have become better acquainted with Sallie Holley I have counted myself fortunate in being brought into such intimate relations with her mind and heart. She was a rarely intelligent and noble woman, deeply engaged in a great cause, and laying some of its lowliest burdens on herself in a spirit of lofty consecration and most patient love. Her letters admit us to the domestic side of Abolition ism to an exceptional degree: many of them are "interiors" as vivid as a Teniers could paint; as homely, too, sometimes. But my satisfaction in my work has been a dual one, conditioned hardly less by Miss Holley´s life and character than by her friend´s.
