Publisher description
Excerpt from An Appeal in Favor of That Class of Americans Called Africans Reader, I beseech you not to throw down this volume as soon as you have glanced at the title. Read it, if your prejudices will allow, for the very truth's sake: - If I have the most trifling claims upon your good will, for an hour's amusement to yourself, or benefit to your children, read it for my sake: - Read it, if it be merely to find fresh occasion to sneer at the vulgarity of the cause: - Read it, from sheer curiosity to sec what a woman (who had much better attend to her household concerns) will say upon such a subject: - Read it, on any terms, and my purpose will be gained. The subject I have chosen admits of no encomiums on my country; but as I generally make it an object to supply what is most needed, this circumstance is unimportant; the market is so glutted with flattery, that a little truth may be acceptable, were it only for its rarity. I am fully aware of the unpopularity of the task I have undertaken; but though I expect ridicule and censure, it is not in my nature to fear them. A few years hence, the opinion of the world will be a matter in which I have not even the most transient interest; but this hook will be abroad on its mission of humanity, long after the hand that wrote it is mingling with the dust. Should it be the means of advancing, even one single hour, the inevitable progress of truth and justice, I would not exchange the consciousness for all Rothschild's wealth, or Sir Walter's fame.
