that of 1916, has ruinedn them. Eman-

of their ruin" themselves being witness

of heather semi-slaves, from India, to work
at sixpence per day. Their devil is

estates. While / write, am looking at
two thousand acres of wilderness within

Mr.. Ward, have an estate, the coffee

in this market, if merely mentioned that
it was from such place. Now do not

the West Indies.
"My uncle,' said my young acquaint-

receives from them"
"Then why does he not sell theml"

miles from their plantations. Could Della

Besides, Jamaica planter, unlike Del
aware county farmer, cannot work; hoe
handle, plow-handle, must never enter
his precious hands No, no! Like Dives
he must dress in purple and fine linen, and
fare sumptuously every day; and the ne

tense vividness and impressiyeness, that can but

Ihls volume, besides its many moving and
thrilling details, affords evidence of most remark
aole man. Mr. Douglass has emphatically made
himself. As writer and speaker he has but few
equals In the country.-Christian Adpocate
1t presents clear and graphic picture of his
slave-life from his earliest recoections his escape
and his life since, including his experiences in this
country and Europe. No one will DENY Mr.. Dom
glass the possession of genus and character of a
high order. He writes IN a 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 as
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
1T 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
turouSnouI tillS HdIon, and the universal desire
that prevails to have a memento of one of natures
noblemen will conspire to create an unprecedent-
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 perspicuity, 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

AS an orator, the public here and elsewhere
have had abundant opportunity to judge, and we
suppose that none have ever listened to his grace

his alphabet after coming to maturity-could de:
