Volume one contains sixty-seven pieces by Douglass, including articles written for North American Review and the New York Independent, as well as unpublished poems, book transcriptions, and travel diaries. Spanning from the 1840s to the 1890s, the documents reproduced in this volume demonstrate how Douglass's writing evolved over the five decades of his public life. Where his writing for publication was concerned mostly with antislavery advocacy, his unpublished works give readers a glimpse into his religious and personal reflections. The writings are organized chronologically and accompanied by annotations offering biographical information as well as explanations of events mentioned and literary or historical allusions.
"Since the time has finally arrived for the publication of this diverse body of Douglass's works, the project has chosen the label Journalism and Other Writings for the series. It will be divided into two volumes.  The first contains Douglass's journalism published in periodicals other than his own, his novella, two unpublished travel diaries a few poems unquestionably attributable to him, an assortment of printed circulars, jointly authored convention addresses, book introductions, a book review, and his encyclopedia entries. The second volume in the series will contain a highly selective sampling of the editorials that Douglass wrote for his own publications: the North Star (1847-51); Frederick Douglass' Paper (1851-60); the Douglass Monthly (1859-63); and the New National Era (1870-72."--Introduction, volume 1, page xvi.
