Excerpt from Address to the Friends of Liberty Reflecting men can see that amidst all the opposition, violence, threats, and machinations of slave-holders, and their abettors, the cause of liberty has steadily advanced, and is about to be brought to a glorious consummation. And it ought to inspire the people of this country with gratitude, that such a momentous moral reformation, affecting the temporal and eternal welfare of millions of people, in this and coming generations, is to be achieved at no greater sacrifice. So deeply involved were the people of this country in the guilt of oppression and prejudice that probably nothing short of murders under Lynch law, profligate expenditures of life and property, - war, robbery and conquest, - and audacious attempts to defend, extend and perpetuate slavery, would have aroused the people of the free states to a consideration of impending danger, and inspired them with a determination to avert it. Much as the unconstitutional annexation of Texas, with the consequent war with Mexico, is deplored, this great calamity and ineffaceable national reproach will, we doubt not, be overruled for the downfall of the politicians who perpetrated the enormous evil, and for the arrestation and overthrow of American slavery, for which the annexation and war were perfidiously brought about. "He Taketh the Wise in their Own Craftiness... Surely The Wrath of Man Shall Praise Thee the Remainder of Wrath Shalt thou Restrain. Thanks to an overruling Providence, the great body of the people of the free states are beginning to see that their rights and their liberties are in jeopardy, and bands of patriotic and resolute men are standing aloof from their political parties, vowing eternal hostility to the extension of slavery.

Excerpt from An Address of Friends of the Yearly Meeting of New-York: To the Citizens of the United States, Especially to Those of the Southern States, Upon the Subject of Slavery If there be truth in the language so solemnly put forth in the, Declaration of the Independence of the United States of America, that All men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, it must be admitted that slavery is a grievous infringement of those rights. And if we estimate the ex tent of injury it inflicts by supposing ourselves, our friends, or our children the subjects of its operation, surely the strongest language would be quite inadequate to describe the amount of evil connected with the system, and the act would be regarded as calling loudly for retributive justice upon the aggressors. And why, let us'earnestly ask, is not this a correct conclusion in relation to those upon whom the system is at present operating? It is a rule for judging which the gospel suggests, and as Christians we ought to respect it. It is also a view of the subject which has been entertained by many who were eminent as states men, some of whom have left their sentiments upon record for the benefit of posterity. And would it be wise in us. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Address to Friends in America Lord Jesus, strengthen, unite and comfort your hearts. May it be given you to feel how full and how precious is that redemption which comes through Him. May the affections, the understanding and the will of every one of you, my dear friends, be so brought into subjection to the guidance and the government of the Holy Spirit, as that you may, in your intercourse among men, show, out of a good conversation, your works with meekness of wisdom. In taking a retrospect of some of the occurrences in the course of a lengthened life, my thoughts recur to the visits, both in earlier and later years, of several devoted ministers of the Gospel from your land to ours. Their work of faith was blessed to many: I partook, amongst others, of the privilege of their earnest pleadings.

In early 1840, abolitionists founded the Liberty Party as a political outlet for their antislavery beliefs. A mere eight years later, bolstered by the increasing slavery debate and growing sectional conflict, the party had grown to challenge the two mainstream political factions in many areas. In The Liberty Party, 1840–1848, Reinhard O. Johnson provides the first comprehensive history of this short-lived but important third party, detailing how it helped to bring the antislavery movement to the forefront of American politics and became the central institutional vehicle in the fight against slavery. As the major instrument of antislavery sentiment, the Liberty organization was more than a political party and included not only eligible voters but also disfranchised African Americans and women. Most party members held evangelical beliefs, and as Johnson relates, an intense religiosity permeated most of the group’s activities. He discusses the party’s founding and its national growth through the presidential election of 1844; its struggles to define itself amid serious internal disagreements over philosophy, strategy, and tactics in the ensuing years; and the reasons behind its decline and merger into the Free Soil coalition in 1848. Informative appendices include statewide results for all presidential and gubernatorial elections between 1840 and 1848, the Liberty Party’s 1844 platform, and short biographies of every Liberty member mentioned in the main text. Epic in scope and encyclopedic in detail, The Liberty Party, 1840–1848 is an invaluable reference for anyone interested in nineteenth-century American politics.

Excerpt from Culturgeschichtliche Novellen It is as in some sort an introduction to such a study of German as I have endeavoured to indicate, so far as this is possible under the limitations of a commentary on a given text, that the present volume has been prepared. The notes are numerous and copious, but I trust they will commend themselves as not of the kind that paralyse the student's own mental activity by superseding the necessity for it; but rather as stimulating it by presenting suitable material in a workable form, and furnishing guidance in such a way as to lead to future independence. The material has of course been supplied in the first place by the text itself. This has been to a small extent supplemented, but chiefly elucidated and illustrated, by matter drawn from sources many of them inaccessible to the English reader. A not inconsiderable element may lay some claim to origi nality, and perhaps this will be the most valuable part of the book to the real student, because treating from the objective standpoint of the foreigner, specially of the Englishman, matters of idiomatic difficulty upon which only scattered hints are to be found in sources English or German. I may refer particularly to the notes on the particles, on the exact force, as felt in the original, of words like erst, z'ibrzlgms, vol lends, &c., and of certain familiar but peculiar modes of con ception and expression which are too completely ingrained in the consciousness of a native for him easily to make them the objects of analysis or of explanation to others.

Excerpt from A Few Hints, on Monarchy Republicanism by a True Friend to Liberty The prospects of religion now began to brighten, tho' bigotry 'and superstion had not yet dropt its fetters;) that most invaluable of blessings the art of Printing arose in the night of barbarism, and as it arose, the clouds of prejudice, ignorance and superstition began to dispel, a new light sprung into the mind of man, he began to view himself a rational being and he saw it his duty to call his reason into ao tion he knew that no person however great or powerful had a right to dictate to him in a cause of conscience and in religious matters, to his God he was only answerable. He there fore left his native land, his friends, and came to America, and the sweet chain of associa tions and feelings that bound him to it he tore from his heart. In that country tyranny and oppression reigned and he would not bow to its arbitrary power. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
