From Hon VIM Jay to.le Author
"Your analysis of the slave laws is very able,
and your exhibition of their practical application
by the Southern Courts evinces great and careful
research. 1t is more easy to make
than to refute a charge of exaggeration against q
work of fiction like Mrs. Stoves but your book
is as impregnable against such charge as Eu-
clid's Geometry since, like that it consists of
propositions and demonstrations. The book is not
only true, but it is unquestionably true"
