A propos de cet article

356 p.; 17 cm. [First printed in 1867] From the Preface: `To the conquerors of my native State, and perhaps to some of her sons, a large part of the following defence will appear wholy unseasonable. A discussion of a social order totally overthrown, and never to be restored here, will appear as completely out of date to them as the ribs of Noah's ark, bleaching amidst the eternal snows of Ararat, to his posterity, when engaged in building the Tower of Babel. Let me distinctly premise, that I do not dream of affecting the perverted judgments of the great anti-slavery party which now rules the hour. Of course, a set of people who make success the test of truth, as they avowedly do in this matter, and who have been busily and triumphantly engaged for so many years in perfecting a plain injustice, to which they had deliberately made up their minds, are not within the reach of reasoning. Nothing but the hand of a retributive Providence can avail to reach them. The few among them who do not pass me by with silent neglect, I am well aware will content themselves with scolding; they will not venture a rational reply. But my purpose in the following pages is, first and chiefly, to lay this pious and filial defence upon the tomb of my murdered mother, Virginia.' -- Some of the section headings: The curse upon Canaan, Abraham a slaveholder, Hagar remanded to slavery by God, Slavery in the laws of Moses, Christ applauds a slaveholder, The apostles separate slavery and its abuses, Slavery no essential religious evil, St. Paul reprobates abolitionists, The Golden Rule compatible with slavery. Good orig. brown cloth, case sl. too small for bookblock.…
