Whatever may be the faults of Parson Brown
low, fullness of conviction, clearness in the ex
preston Of those convictions and boldness il
their utterance are not among them. He full
and frankly avows his belief and unhesitatingl
accepts all their logical consequences. In thi
book we have as good an argument in favor @
American Slavery as can he made, much bette
in fact than those Of our Northern pro- SLAYER
ministers and politicians and in it also W
have triumphant answer to all the argument
and assumptions of its able champion. w
recommend the hook TO the attention of all in
terested in the subject matter discussed.
