To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The slave knows this, and that, if he have a good master, he need not be troubled about these things, but attend faithfully, when able, to the performance of reasonable service, and his necessary wants will all be supplied. It must not be forgotten or overlooked, that the relations of master and slave are correlative, and the duties of these rela- tions reciprocal. Both legally and morally, the master as truly belongs to the slave for the performance of a master's duties, as the slave belongs t...o the master for the performance {ivheii able) of a slave's duties. In this respect, each may with equal propriety be said to own the other. Hence, in decrepitude from sickness or old age, the slave can say, "I have all things and abound. " " I own a master, whose whole estate, and whose own personal energies are pledged for my support. " The slave is, therefore, independent and happy. Not so the poor hireling, who is wholly dependent on his daily labor for his daily bread. In sickness or old age, and often at other times, his only prospect is starvation, or the repulsive charity of a selfish and often heartless world.
