Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Beacon Biographies: Frederick Douglass
Frederick Douglass lived so long, and played so conspicuous a part on the world's stage, that it would be impossible, in a work of the size of this, to do more than touch upon the salient features of his career, to suggest the respects in which he in?uenced the course of events in his lifetime, and to epitomize for the readers of another genera tion the judgment of his contemporaries as to his genius and his character.
