Book excerpt: Excerpt from Slavery The first question to be proposed by a rational being is, not what is profitable, but what is Right. Duty must be primary, prominent, most conspicuous, among the objects of human thought and pursuit. If we cast it down from its supremacy, if we inquire first for our interests, and then for our duties, we shall certainly err. We can never see the Right clearly and fully, but by making it our first concern. No judgment can be just or wise, but that which is built on the conviction of the paramount worth and importance of Duty. This is the fundamental truth, the supreme law of reason; and the mind, which does not start from this in its inquiries into human affairs, is doomed to great, perhaps fatal error. The Right is the supreme good, and includes all other goods. In seeking and adhering to it, we secure our true and only happiness. All prosperity, not founded on it, is built on sand.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from On Slavery Is it not plain that there is a providence in all this? We have a duty to perform, we are loaded with responsibility for our enslaved brethren, as well as for our kindred who hold slaves, and so Heaven has righteously decreed that we shall think and act upon it. Truly, we ought not to avoid the subject. It is unworthy of Americans to shrink from inquiry as to our condition, our prospects, and our duty. Let us meet the subject like men. Truth will not harm us certainly not if we obey it. Shame on the man who thinks or admits that the free institutions in which we glory, cannot stand the test of truth and free inquiry. What is a slave? A slave is a person held in slavery. We are never to forget that the slaves are human beings. Their black complexion and degraded condition often incline us to overlook this fact. We talk about the African race, but the slaves are of the human race. If all other proofs were set aside, the unmistakable evidence that they partake in the consequences of Adams fall, would settle the question. God selected their ancestors as one of the four men who were preserved in Noah's Ark, to repeople the desolated earth, after the deluge, and Jesus Christ came to seek them among the lost sheep for whose salvation he laid down his life. They are our brethren by descent from the same parent, by being found in the same general depravity, and by sharing in the mercy of the same Savior.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Dialogue on Slavery: And Miscellaneous Subjects, Based on the Word of God Reader, if you are a student of the Bible and a firm believer in the doctrine therein taught; if it is your determination to take the Word of God for a light to your feet and a lamp to your path; then the author would congratulate you, - for it is just in proportion as an individual makes the law of Heaven the man of his counsel that he will be able to understand Truth from Error, Virtue from Vice, and to know that Wisdom's ways are ways of pleasantness and that all her paths are peace. And what does God demand of you, but to love mercy, do justly and walk humbly with Him? Then bear in mind that the beginning of wisdom is God's fear; that the individual who, does not fear his Maker and reverence the Eternal, is unworthy of the name of man; and that sooner or later he will find it hard to kick against the pricks.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Two Letters on Slavery in the United States Sir: - I received a short time ago, a letter from the Rev. Willouguby M.Dickinson, dated at your residence, Playford Hall, near Ipswich, 26 ih Nov., 1844, in which was inclosed a copy of your Circular Letter addressed to professing Christians in our Northern States, having no concern wiih Slavery, and to others there. I presume that Mr. Dickinsons letter was written with your knowledge, and the document inclosed with your consent and approbation. I therefore feel that there is no impropriety in my addressing my reply directly to yourself, especially as there is nothing in Mr. Dickinsons communication, requiring serious notice. Having abundant leisure, it will be a recreation to me to devote a portion of it to an examination and free discussion of the question of Slavery as it exists in our Southern States: and since you have thrown down the gauntlet to me, I do not hesitate to take it up. Familiar as you have been with the discussions of this subject in all its aspects, and under all the excitements it has occasioned for sixty years past, I may not be able to present much that will be new to you. Nor ought I to indulge the hope of materially affecting the opinions you have so long cherished, and so zealously promulgated.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Way to Abolish Slavery After the flood of light respecting the evils of the execrable system of chattel Slavery, thrown upon the minds of the community by eighteen years of Anti-Slavery preaching; it would seem almost a work of supererogation to attempt to cast any more light upon the subject; therefore in this work, nothing will be said in reference to this part of the subject; but every effort will be made to convince the reader of the efficacy of the remedy here proposed. It will be necessary to say at the commencement of this work, that the author is no politician, and does not write for party purposes; neither is he the agent, or the organ of any Anti-Slavery society, but writes on his own authority, and that of truth; being responsible to no man for what he shall assert. My object is to present to the public mind, what I deem to be the only true and effectual remedy for the terrible disease of Slavery. If in doing this, you are condemned, reader, judge not hastily that I am wrong; but give me a candid and impartial hearing.
