Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Bible Against Slavery Dear Sir: - The undersigned are a Committee appointed by "Council No. 3, of Camden Union League of America, to confer with you upon the subject of publishing in pamphlet form, the series of articles which lately appeared in print, under the head of "Bible Views of Slavery," "Bishop Hopkins Reviewed," written as we understand by you. It has been suggested to our Council, that if these articles (in a compact form,) were distributed, they would serve as an antidote to the so-called Scriptural, but mischievous tract above named, issued and circulated, so extensively by sympathizers with the accursed system of American Slavery. If, therefore, in accordance with your views, we shall be pleased to have you take the necessary steps for an early publication of the same. Gentlemen: The articles to which you so kindly refer, and pay me the compliment of requesting me to publish in a more permanent form, were written at the request of several prominent citizens, who believed with myself, that the effort to secure for Slavery among the masses of the people, the sanction of the Bible, ought not to be allowed to pass unnoticed. The Bishop has been met by several "indignant protests" and scathing rebukes, for his manifest sympathy with treason and zealous defence of its source, but there has been no serious effort, so far as I know, to show the fallacy of his argument, and thus rescue the Bible from the charge of subserving the Slave interest. This I deemed necessary, and have attempted in these articles: and since their publication in a more compact and accessible form has been asked for in an informal way by many intelligent persons, and requested by yourselves in behalf of your Association, I shall take pleasure in acceding to your request, and will have them so published as soon as practicable.
