Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Emancipation: Its Necessity, and Means of Accomplishment; Calmly Submitted to the Citizens of the United States
Several obstacles prevented me from complying with the above requests, and with my own convictions of duty, at an earlier period. These obstacles are now happily removed; and I have revised them, and send them forth substantially the same as they were when first published, without making any allusion to more recent events. These events, however, - such as the liberation of the slaves in her colonies by the French government, the agitation of the subject in the Ameri can Congress, by which a firm determination has been manifested against the extension of slavery in the newly-acquired territories; as well as the disposition expressed by the inhabitants of California, in opposi tion to its introduction into that territory, - all exhibit an enlightened public sentiment upon this interesting subject; and they lead to the conclusion, that slavery is doomed to destruction in our country at no distant period.
For the consummation of an event so devoutly wished by every pious heart, and every patriotic states man, I wish to contribute my mite, and for this pur pose I dedicate the following pages.
