Preface
Narrative
Cure for the Evil of Slavery (by Charles Stearns)
Footnotes
Not for the purpose of administering to a prurient desire to hear and see some new thing, nor to gratify any inclination on the part of the hero of the following story to be honored by man, is this simple and touching narrative of the perils of a seeker after the boon of liberty, introduced to the public eye; but that the people of this country may be made acquainted with the horrid sufferings endured by one as, in a portable prison, shut out from the light of heaven, and nearly deprived of its balmy air, he pursued his fearful journey directly through the heart of a country making its boasts of liberty and freedom to all, and that thereby a chord of human sympathy may be touched in the hearts of those who listen to his plaintive tale, which may be the means of furthering the spread of those principles, which under God, shall yet prove mighty to the pulling down of the strong-holds of slavery.
