To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There is something unnatural, something revolting to the common sense of justice, in reserving all the sweets of freedom for those who have never tasted the bitter cup of bondage, — in dooming those who have once been compelled to drink it, to drain it to the very dregs. Common equity demands that relief should be administered first to those who have suffered most; — that the healing balm of mercy should be imparted first to those who have smarted most under the rod of oppression : that those w...ho have borne the galling yoke of slavery, should first experience the blessings of liberty. The cause of eman- cipation loses more than half its interest, when the public sympathy is diverted from its natural channel, — turned from the living victims of colonial bondage to their unborn progeny. It is utterly astonishing, with such an object as West Indian- slavery before us, rendered palpable, in all its horrors, almost to our very senses, by a multitude of indubitable facts, collected from various sources of the highest authority, all uniting in the same appalling evidence ; — with the sight of our fellow-creatures in bondage so rigorous, — in moral and physical degradation so abject; — under a tyranny so arbitrary, wanton and barbarous ; — it is utterly astonishing, that our compassion ahd sympathy should be so timid and calculating, — so slow and cautious.
