Author Description

Excerpt from Observations on American Slavery, After a Year's Tour in the United States The following Letters were written at the request of the Editor of the Christian Reformer, to whom they were originally addressed. They are to be read as the observations of a traveller, not as a treatise on Slavery. They convey impressions recorded, for the most part, at the time, in letters to those whose anti-slavery zeal required no stimulant, and who needed information less as to the horrors of slavery, than as to the general aspect of the system, as it appears to its supporters and to passing observers.
