1t reveals the mseries of servile life with In
tense vividness and impressiveness, that can bu
fasten its facts and arguments upon the reader 8
mind as with pen OF iron and with the point OF
a diamond.-V. Journal.
This volume besides its many moving and
thrilling details, affords evidence of most remark
able man. Mr. Douglass has emphatically made
himself AS a writer and speaker he has but few
equals in the country hristian Advocate
II presents clear and graphic picture of his
slayelife from his earliest recoections, his escape
and his life since including his experiences in thiF
country and Europe. No one will deny MIR. Dou'
glass the possession of genus and character of a
high order He writes in nervous, clear, and
most telling manner, clothing his narrative with
intense interest and conveying his moral impress
sions with a vividness that leaves the reader
scarcely any escape. The subject is deeply tragic,
and, in his mastery handling, possesses an en-
crossing interest.-N Y Evangelist.
We have before listened to the homely tale of
the liberated slave but it did not impress us rs
does this narrative of Douglass, for the reason
that we were left to supply the commentary which
is here pressed upon us by one who has both seen
and felt what he relates. The story bears through
out the impress of truth, and the manner in which
it is told stamps the writer man of genius and
high order of talent.-Ohio State Journal.
This is a splendid work The personal worth of
the author, the deserved popularity he has secured
throughout this nation, and the universal desire
that prevails to have memento of one of nature 8
noblemen, will conspire to create an mprecedent-
ed demand for this book Wesleyan.
The book is written with the happiest descrip-
tive power, with nerve and vigor of expression,
and with richness of style. 1t has an ample re-
source in phrase, great perspicuty, and musical,
resonating, and halfrhythmic style, which reminds
the reader of the authors origin, and of the native
melodies of his race. The book manifests high,
and, to us, unexpected polish. The interest
aroused and kept up by perusal of this book is
of high order, and rarely degenerates Detroit

simmer them for half an hour over the fire

396 pages. Price 81. Postage 10 cents.
This work has been compiled as means of en-
tightening public sentiment on an interesting but
much neglected department of American History,
and is graced with an introduction by Mrs. Har-
riet Beecher Stowe, and illustrated by engravings
of Crispus Attacks, the first martyr in the Boston
massacre of March 5th, ITO; Peter Salem, on
Bunker Hill, and facsimile autograph certif-
cate of General Washington, rendered to a colored
soldier The increasing interest on the general
subject of Slavery invests this book with rare at
traction at the present time, for throughout its
pages are exhibited various phases of the "pecu-
liar institution" interviewer with incidents of pat
riotism and bravery of colored Americans " in the
DAYS that tried mems souls" From several COM
mandatory notices of the press, the following are
selections:
"This neat volume Of nearly 400 pages is a very
curious and interesting book, not only as regards
the character of its contents, but being the pro-
duction of young colored man, native OF, and
educated in, Boston. 1t purports to be an effort
to stem the tide of prejudice against the colored
race, and to show that they are fit for something
higher than the mental drudgery to which they
are generally doomed.
Mr.. Nell has gathered many interesting facts, and
woven them together in very effective manner.
He has extended his researches into the local his
tories of seventeen of the States of the Union and
presents great mass of testimony in behalf Of
the military services of the coored people, which
will astonish those who have not heretofore given
the subject thought. He very properly com
msnces with the story of Crispus Attucks, the mu
