Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Eulogy of Garrison: Remarks of Wendell Phillips at the Funeral of William Lloyd Garrison
You hear that boy's lips announcing the statesmanlike solution which startled politicians and angered church and people. A year afterwards, with equally single-hearted devotion, in words that have been so Often quoted, with those dungeon doors behind him, he enters on his career. In January, 1831, then twenty-five years old, he starts the publication of The Liberator, advocating the immediate abolition of slavery; and, with the sublime pledge, I will be as harsh as truth and as uncompromising as justice. On this subject I do not wish to speak or write with modera tion. I will not equivocate I will not excuse - I will not retreat a single inch - and I will BE heard.
