The able editor of the EDeaaag Transcript Bos
ron thus speaks of this work:
"This little book contains vast amount OF
information respecting the comparative condition
Of the slsveholding and non-slaveholding States
As to territory population, industry, wealth, sdu
sation, intelligence, religion, moral advancement
and general progress. The work must have cost
A great deal of laborous research and it certain
y presents arguments in favor of Freedom on
every page. 1t contains just the kind of informs
ton that should be more generally known in all
sections OF the country. We hope there will be
public demand for thousands of copies"
