"Note by the editor.--The reader is referred to John G. Whittier, of Amesbury, Mass.,--or to the following gentlemen, who have heard the whole or a part of his story from his own lips; Emmor Kimber, of Kimberton, Pa., Lindley Coates, of Lancaster Co., do.; James Mott, of Philadelphia; Lewis Tappan, Elizur Wright, Jun., Rev. Dr. Follen, and James G. Birney, of New-York. The latter gentleman, who was a few years ago a citizen of Alabama, assures us that the statements made to him by James Williams were such as he had every reason to believe, from his own knowledge of slavery in that state."--cover.
