Acting Nigiant Committee of the Philadelphia
Branch of the Underground Railroad. Illus
tra'ed with 20 fine Engraviugs by Bensell,
Sehell. and others, and Portraits from Photo

From great number If cordial letters com
meuding the Underground Railroad, the Author
selects few brief extracts only from eminent
friends of Freedom who have examined the
work
From I'm. lloyd Garrison:
have examined it with deep and thrilling
interest. Ii is a IN est important portion of An.
tiSlavery history. Its Teliableness, moreover,
cannot be called in question. 1t is a book for
every household.
From s. z. Chase, Chief Justice Of L. s. .Hp-
prtms Court:
No one probably has had equal opportunities
with yourself of listening TO the narratives Of
| fugitive slaves. No one viii repeat them more
|. truthfuly, and no stories can be more traught
with interest than theirs.
| From J. H HcKim:
| book so unique in Find, so startling in in
| terest, and so trustworthy in its statements,
cannot fail to command large reading now,
and in generations yet to come.
| From Hon. Henry IpasoH, Tice President:
| You have done a good work. This story of
| the heroic conduct of iugitves of oppression,
ana of the devotion OF their friends, will be
read with deep interest, especially by the old
friends of the slave in the stern struggle through
which we have passed. ] hope your labors will
| be rewarded by grateful public.
| From Hon. Charles Summer:
| The Underground Railroad has performed its
part, but it must always be remembered CRATE

country. | cannot think Of it without a throb-
bling heart
You do well to commemorate those assOci-
atod with it by service or by beneft-the sa-
viours and the saved.
From Horace Gree}ey:
For most Of the years have lived, the escape
of fugitives from slavery, and their efforts to
battle the human and other bloodhounds who
tracked them formed the romance of American
History. That romance is now ended, and our
grandchildren will hardly believe its leading
incidents except on irresistible testimony. |
rejoice that you are collecting and presenting
| that testimony, and heartily wish you a great
success.
| From Uia. II. Furness, d. D.:
| Having read this record OF THE UNDER
GROUND RAILROAD | can only say that it is Il
work Of extraordinary interest and Of great rdIue
as an illustration of the terrible despolism.
which little while ago reigned over us all, and
which is now (thani: heaven y no more.
! From John C. Whittier:
| Tie book is more interesting than any romance.
1t will be Of permanent value to the historian of
