About this book
An Essay on Slavery and Abolitionism, with reference to the duty of American females, is by Catharine E. Beecher. The preface says a gentleman and a friend requested the writer to assign reasons why he should not join the Abolition Society.
The text says Clarkson, Wilberforce, and their coadjutors commenced a system of operations to arouse and influence public sentiment, and succeeded in securing the suppression of the slave trade and the gradual abolition of slavery in the English colonies. The writer says the Abolitionists of this country have drawn inferences, which appear to be not only illogical, but false. A quoted letter from Mr. Clarkson describes being shown into the emperor's apartment, about nine at night. The text asks whether the North cannot bear with some unreasonable action from the South, and whether the South cannot bear in mind that at the North the colour of the skin does not take away the feeling of brotherhood.
