hite bootblack—was thoroughly pro-slavery. In the Sodom there might have been a Lot or two here and there—some profound thinker—who wished justice to be done though the heavens should fall, but he was despondent. It seemed as though nearly the whole business of the press, the pulpit, and the theological seminary, was to reconcile the people to the permanent degradation and slavery of the negro race. The church had its negro pew, and caste was as strictly enforced between the African and European complexions as it ever was between Pariah and Brahmin. Biblical scholars justified the slavery of Ham's descendants from the Bible. And, what was worst of all, the humanity and philanthropy which could not otherwise be disposed of, was ingeniously seduced into an African Colonization Society, whereby all slaves who had grown seditious and troublesome to their masters could be transplanted on the pestiferous African Coast. That this wretched and seemingly transparent humbug could have del<

eland. Compare Dr. Channing's letter to Miss Aikin of Dec. 29, 1831 (p. 113 of Correspondence ): But do you know how slaveholders reconcile themselves to their guilt? . . . Our slaves subsist more comfortably than the populace and peasantry of Europe. . . . I acknowledge the sophistry, but mourn that it should have so much foundation. Notice also that Mathew Carey had published in 1796 St. George Tucker's Dissertation on Slavery; with a Proposal for the Gradual Abolition of it in the State of Virginia, bearing this epigraph from Montesquieu: Slavery not only violates the Laws of Nature and of Civil Society, it also wounds the best forms of government: in a Democracy, where all men are equal, slavery is contrary to the spirit of the Constitution. whose dictum was: We may, therefore, fairly conclude the object of Ibid., p. 83. immediate, universal emancipation wholly unattainable, or, if attainable, at too high a price; and even the apostle of peace, William Ladd, who knew that i

Towards the latter part of August the Board of Managers of the New-England Anti-Slavery Society appointed Mr. Garrison an agent to deliver addresses, etc., for a period not exceeding three months, with compensation at the rate of one hundred dollars for that period, and his expenses. In accordance with this commission he began a tour which embraced the central and eastern parts of Massachusetts, the northern part of Rhode Island, and Maine from Portland to Bangor—the last a region wholly new to him. In a series of letters to the Liberator he described his experiences from week to Lib. 2.158, 162, 165, 166, 170, 175. week. Explaining at the outset his motives in going about, he placed first justice to himself: My enemies have had a long indulgence, until they begin Lib. 2.158. to think they are safe from retribution.

Though heartily in sympathy with its objects, I go for the immediate, unconditional, and total abolition of Freemasonry (Lib. 2.158). he appears to have taken no active part in its proceedings; and having spoken on slavery in the Town

Our meeting was a cordial one. On his return from Bangor, he stopped at Waterville, where he was entertained by the President of the College, the Rev. Jeremiah Chaplin, Formerly of Danvers, Mass.

What libels have they not put forth, what caricatures have they not drawn, what calumnies have they not industriously propagated, from Maine to Missouri, respecting my motives and principles! . . . Such phrases as these—the madman Garrison, the fanatic Garrison, the incendiary Garrison—have extensively become as familiar as household words. Nothing amuses me more than to witness the unaffected and agreeable surprise which many strangers manifest in their countenances on a personal introduction to myself. They had almost imagined me to be in figure a monster of huge and horrid proportions; but now finding me decently made, without a single

n the negative. The refutation was effectual, for a second attempt the next year in the same place by Pearl, during Mr. Garrison's absence in England, proved an even worse failure. The latter's tour at this time also embraced the towns of Newburyport, Lowell, and Salem (Lib. 2.167, 183, and Ms. letters of Arnold Buffum, Oct. 23, 24, 1832). In the Liberator announcing the editor's departure Lib. 2.87. for Philadelphia appeared the first advertisement of an octavo pamphlet of 240 pages of age. Following the reprint in the Liberator, an edition in book form was put forth by Garrison & Knapp in 1833, and a fifth edition was published by Isaac Knapp as late as 1838. Still another edition bears the imprint of Charles Whipple, Newburyport, 1836. Mr. Garrison pronounced them among the most faithful and thrilling productions we have read on the subject of slavery. They were privately addressed by the writer to his brother, and are full of fraternal concern and tenderness, while

(See p. 656 of Still's Underground railroad, and pp. 32, 33 of Proceedings of the American Anti-Slavery Society, Third Decade.) Its effect on George Thompson, of England, will be related hereafter. At the time of the appearance of the Thoughts, Mr. Wright was Professor of Mathematics and Natural Philosophy in the Western Reserve College at Hudson, O.. and so a colleague of President Storrs and Professor Green (Lib. 3.2). It should be mentioned here that it was owing exclusively to the liberality of Isaac Winslow, of Portland, that Mr. Garrison was enabled to publish his Thoughts (Ms. Aug. 20. 1867, to Samuel May, Jr.） a moral victory was certain. Hundreds and thousands of men who might never agree with Mr. Garrison in their mode of action in behalf of the slave, were thoroughly aroused to act, each in his own way, and they never ce

ble comment were not confined to this country. Extracts from the Thoughts were freely made in the most respectable periodical publications of England (Lib. 3.99). A formal review of it appeared in the British Eclectic Review, the organ of the Nonconformists, for Feb., 1833, p. 138. The work was eagerly greeted by the English philanthropists who had already begun to unmask and to thwart the Colonization agent, Elliott Cresson. It furnished the basis of Charles Stuart's Prejudice Vincible (Liverpool: printed by Egerton Smith & Co., 1832), reprinted with other matter in a pamphlet published by Garrison & Knapp in 1833, called British Opinions of the American Colonization Society. The preface to this pamphlet states that some 2750 copies of the Thoughts had been disposed of in nine months. For a British reply, see Dr. Thomas Hodgkin's An Inquiry into the Merits of the American Colonization Society, etc. (London: J. & A. Arch, 1833). Viewed in this light, and not merely as literature, i
