Excerpt from The American Anti-Slavery Almanac, for 1843: Being the Third After Bissextile, or Leap Year; And Until July 4th, the Sixty-Seventh of the Independence of the United States Published weekly, at the office of the American anti-slavery Society, 143 Nassau street, new-york, edited by L. M. Child, and D. L. Child. The Executive Committee commend this journal to the support of every friend of liberty and truth. While it is a constant and watchful advocate of the rights of the colored man', it furnishes a 'good proportion of miscellaneous literature, intelligence, foreign and domestic, and practical hints for house keepers. In a word, it is intended to be a pleasing and useful family news paper, as well as an earnest anti-slavery advocate. It is the organ of no sect in religion, and of no party in politics; but impartially rebukes all sects and parties, which exert a pro-slavery in uence, while it cheerfully awards praise without preference to those who discharge the obligations of Christianity, in relation to this great curse of our land. It represents that class of abolition-f ists who consider the formation of a distinct political abolition party unwise and injurious; but it makes no war upon those. Who think differently. Terms - Two dollars a year in advance; two dollars and fifty cents if not paid within six months. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
