Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Slave, Vol. 1: Or Memoirs of Archy Moore It is unnecessary to detain the reader, with a narrative of the somewhat singular manner in which the Ms. of the following Memoirs came into my possession. It is sufficient for me to say, that I received it, with an injunction to make it public - an injunction which I have not felt myself at liberty to disobey. I would not be understood, however, as implicitly adopting all the author´s feelings and sentiments; for it must be confessed that he sometimes expresses himself with a force and freedom, which by many will be thought extravagant Yet, if I am not greatly mistaken, he preserves throughout, a moderation, a calmness, and a magnanimity, which have never yet been displayed upon the other side of the question; and laying entirely out of account the author´s personal grievances, I do not know how it is possible to be over zealous in a cause so just as that min which he pleads. As to the conduct of the writer, as described by himself there are several occasions upon which it is impossible to approve it. But he has written Memoirs, not an apology, nor a vindication. No man who writes his own life, will gain much credit, by painting himself as faultless; and few can have stronger claims to indulgence than Archy Moore. - The Editor.
