About this product

Product Information

Excerpt from Slavery and Anti-Slavery: A History of the Great Struggle in Both Hemispheres; With a View of the Slavery Question in the United States The chief design of this publication is to furnish, in one volume, an abstract, for convenient reference, of a great mass of historical information concerning slavery and the struggle against it (in this country and Great Britain), that is w to be found only by looking over several volumes, numerous pamphlets, and the newspapers and scattered documents of the last twenty years. This abstract, at the same time, was intended to have a bearing on the w-pending slave question in the United States, and to be so selected and arranged, as to facilitate a presentation of that question towards the close of the volume. It was designed to be as documentary in its character as the nature of an abstract would permit. Hence, it consists much in extracts, quotations, and abbreviated paragraphs, preserving as much as possible the significant portions, without giving the documents entire, which would have required volumes. The writer was aware that the attempt to cover so much ground, in one volume, was a hazardous one. It could t be a small volume; and most readers, as well as some critics, will instantly prounce a work too diffuse that exceeds three or four hundred pages, without stopping to consider whether or it presents the substance of several such volumes on distinct points of history. They would find fault with one book of that size that should only tell the story of the abolition of the African slave trade, r with ather that should only relate the measures that led to the abolition of slavery in the British West Indies, and the results of those labors; r with ather that should contain the story of Texas and the Mexican war. But if a writer should present the substance of all three of these histories, and five or six more in addition, of equal magnitude and importance, in a volume of six hundred pages, they would think him unpardonably diffuse; and the farther this condensing process was carried, in one volume, the more would he fall under censure for diffuseness.
