Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Letters on Slavery, Addressed to the Pro-Slavery Men of America: Showing Its Illegality in All Ages and Nations; Its Destructive War Upon Society and Government, Morals and Religion [From the Boston Atlas.] It is one of the most interesting works on the subject that we have read for a year, and contains much that is new to the general run of readers. As freedom and slavery are now fairly arrayed against each other in the political arena, we advise the combatants to peruse this pamphlet before proceeding to blows. [From the Boston Traveller.] We admire Mr. Freeman´s industry. He appears to have been at immense pains in searching for authorities against slavery, and traces the "institution" down from the most remote and barbarous ages, showing that all great authorities, legal or political, have denounced its existence, and that historical experience has also condemned it as fraught with injustice and danger. These Letters on Slavery will form, for future use, an irrefutable text-book upon the subject. [From the Boston Telegraph.] We have rarely seen so much genuine anti-slavery truth packed into so small a space as is the case with this work. The author has ransacked history, theology philosophy, law, and every other species of knowledge for arguments against the sin of this country. His citations from the Christian fathers and from the patriots and sages of all time, in favor of the higher law of liberty, are of great value, and cannot be gainsayed. The book, though small, is a perfect armory of argument and quotation for the friend of freedom. It costs but a trifle, and we hope many will buy it. [From the Congregationalist.] These letters are no hastily written and superficial documents. They deal in facts of history and law and ethics, which have been gathered with large labor and arranged with patient study. They indicate very extensive reading, and will be valuable as the index of multifarious lore upon the subject which they discuss. We commend them heartily to the widest circulation, confident that they will do good. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
