Preface
The subject discussed in the following pages is one of great importance, and especially to the people of this country. The views presented for consideration, both as regards the cause of evil and the mode of cure; but it does not follow necessarily that they are not correct, - as the reader may readily satisfy himself by reflecting upon the fact, that there is scarcely an opinion he now holds, that has not, and at no very distant period, been deemed quite as heretical as any here advanced. In reflecting upon them, and upon the facts by which they are supported, he is requested to bear in mind that the latter are, with very few exceptions, drawn from writers holding views directly opposed to those of the author of this volume; and not therefore to be suspected of any exaggeration of the injurious effects of the system here treated as leading to slavery, or
the beneficial ones resulting from that here described as tending to establish perfect and universal freedom of thought, speech, action and trade.
Philadelphia, March, 1853.
