To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
No houses have been pillaged or burned, and no throats have been cut. Those who were formerly slaves now labor peaceably and qui- etly for wages ; and the latest accounts encourage the hope, that no serious difficulties will ensue. In the other colonies, where the system of apprenticeship was preferred, although the slaves have not fulfilled the predictions of their masters by resorting to violence, they have still shown much dissatisfac- tion, and in some instances have refused to work. They c...an- not see the justice of being compelled to serve an apprentice- ship with those whom they have heretofore served as slaves. Hence they are disappointed and dissatisfied. This is just the result which the friends of emancipation predicted. How much better would it have been, had the example of Antigua and Bermuda been followed by the other colonies. Then there would have been no discordant note to mar the song of joy and rejoicing at the freedom of eight hundred thousand human beings from the galling fetters of slavery.
