Excerpt from Letters on Slavery My original design, was to lay before the Public a free and impartial sketch of negro slavery as it now exists in the island of Barbadoes; to show how it would be affected by the abolition of the slave-trade; and to prove by arguments, founded on facts, the natural equality of the natives of the immense continent of Africa to the rest of mankind. - I am conscious, I have not wilfully misstated or exaggerated any one circumstance; and I have written with the caution of a man who expects to meet with the most pertinacious contradiction. - To give as agreeable an air, as I could, to a subject in itself dull and disgusting, I have preferred the looser form of letters to the formality of a regular treatise. - The sketch I have given of the state of slavery in Jamaica was no part of my plan, but was drawn after that plan was compleated. This I hope will apologize for some repetitions in the latter part of my book. The name and authority of an author have perhaps greater weight with some readers than his arguments. Such persons regard a proportion as true, not so much because a celebrated man has demonstrated it as because he has affirmed it. Those undoubtedly are bad arguments which require foreign aid; but knowing that, on account of the obscurity of an author, even good arguments do not always operate with their whole intrinsic force, I have had frequent recourse to works of acknowledged merit, quotations from which, I am sensible, form the best part of my book.

Excerpt from Slavery: Letters and Speeches The emulous and aspiring youth of a Free People will always find much of their private, and most of their public welfare, indis solubly connected with the institutions and laws of their country. In these, therefore, their interest is both public and personal it pertains to the citizen as well as to the man. All great moral questions, though touching. Them but lightly at first, will come closer and closer home, as long as they live; growing into greater importance for their posthumous memory than for their living fame, and affecting the fortunes of their posterity even more than their own. Though all Young Men are substantially alike in their desire of well being, yet, in regard. To the guiding principles by which the objects of hope are pursued, in order to obtain happiness, three marked distinctions, or classes, exist among them.

Excerpt from A Letter to the People of the United States Touching the Matter of Slavery Fellow-Citizens of the United States: It may seem strange and presumptuous that an obscure man, known even by name to but very few in the land, should write you a public letter on a theme so important as this of Slavery. You may call it foolish and rash. Say that if you will; perhaps you are right. I have no name, no office, no rank amongst men, which entitle my thoughts to your consideration. I am but one of the undistinguished millions, who live unnoticed, and die remembered only by their family and friends; humble and obscure. If any of the famous men accustomed to sway the opinions of the political parties and the theological sects, had suitably treated this matter, showing you the facts and giving manly counsel, I should not have presumed to open my mouth. It is their silence which prompts me to speak. I am no aspirant for office or for fame; have nothing to gain by your favor; fear nothing from your frown.

Excerpt from Remarks on the Slavery Question, in a Letter to Jonathan Phillips, Esq. ON reading Mr. Clay's speech on Slavery, many thoughts were suggested to me which I Wished to communicate; and our conversation of last evening con firmed me in the purpose of laying them before the public. I have resolved to give my views in the form of a letter, because I can do my work more easily and rapidly in this way than in any other. A general, methodical discussion of the subject would be more agreeable to me; but we must do What we can. I must write in haste, or not at all. If others would take the subject in hand, I should gladly be silent. Something ought to be spoken on the occasion; but who will speak? My range of topics will be somewhat large, nor, if good can be done, shall I hes itate to stray beyond the document which first suggested this communication.
