American Slavery (Classic Reprint) - Tapa blanda

Excerpt from American Slavery

On te-perusal I have found nothing to soften or to retrench, though I could add and strengthen much.

I have also reprinted the speech of Mr. Sumner in the Senate of the United States, on the 19th and 2oth of May, 1856, and a brief notice of the frightful scenes which followed it.

The moral and intellectual character of Mr. Sumner has long been admired by Europe.

Excerpt from American Slavery

The following article was partially published in the "Edinburgh Review," during my absence from Europe. Considerable portions of the matter contained in the proofs, as I finally settled them, were omitted. It is now reprinted unmutilated, indeed verbatim, from the revise as it left my hands.

On reperusal I have found nothing to soften or to retrench, though I could add and strengthen much.

To bring down the story of American Slavery to the present time, I have reprinted the speech of Mr. Sumner in the Senate of the United States, on the 19th and 20th of May last, and a brief notice of the frightful scenes which followed it.

The moral and intellectual character of Mr. Sumner has long been admired by Europe.

To sympathy for his courage is now added sympathy for his calamity.

I cannot believe that he has suffered in vain.
