To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This slave-owner will certainly have difficulty enough before him, — with his own early preju- dices to contend against, — jealous neighbors to 23 appease, — harsh state laws to obey, and, while obeying, to modify, — a degraded race to elevate, — and all this to be accomplished without the encouragement of his fellows in private society or at public meetings. These are indeed labors worthy of Hercules : but difficulties are the things that make life tolerable to many of us ; and it cannot be sa...id that we are left without plenty of them. Your authoress is evidently vexed by the ques- tions mankind are always knocking their heads against, — the origin of evil and the endurance of evil. Certainly, the faith in a beneficent Creator is sorely tried by what is daily to be seen in slave states ; but I have always thought the uninter- rupted and peaceful voyage of a slave-ship — some " Santa Trinidad," or " Maria de la Gloria" — the most wonderful problem in the whole world. On it goes, a thing beautifully constructed for its purpose, — hundreds of human beings packed in indescriba- ble agony within it; the porpoises gambol around it ; light breezes fan its sails ; the water parts lov- ingly from its well -shaped bows, like the best affection of true-hearted women, " which cfings not, nor is exigent": in truth, the powers of nature, sublimely indifferent to right or wrong.
