PREFACE. THE object of this selection is not to set forth the
exploits of the warrior, who has drenched fields in blood, istroyed
cities by fire, and their inhabitants by famine wno has made the
mother a widow, and her children fatherless, and deprived the aged
of their comfort and support in declining life. It is not to
rehearse the ha rangues, nor to set forth the eloquence of the man
of science but to encourage virtue and morality in the dif- lerent
classes of society and, by bringing into view the erfects which a
system of slavery has on the human mind, and the dreadful
consequences of that arbitrary power invested in the slaveholder
over his fellow-being to show how it hardens the heart and
petrifies the feel ings. No doubt there are some men, who, in early
life, and Before they were placed in authority, like Hazael, would
have been shocked to hear predicted what they have afterward, and
under different circumstances, put in practice but there are
others, who, being trained up in the midst of slavery, and inured
from their infancy to see the sufferings of the poor slaves, and to
hear their cries, become almost insensible to the responsibility of
their station, and the enormity of the evils they are com mitting.
For these, as well as for the slaves, our tender- est sympathy
ought to be awakened, and our aspirations to ascend before Him who
can unstop the deaf ear, and open the eyes even of those who are
blind. The design of this selection is also to show the bane-ful
effects of that degradation to which the children of Africa have,
in an especial manner, been subjected by the slave trade j and to
exhibit, for encouragement and imitation, the salutary and cheering
influence of theChristian religion on such as have faithfully
followed its dictates, though some of them havebeen held in
bcrdage. Here we may observe, that it is not the inhabitants of any
particular country or climate that are the favorites of Him who,
without respect of persons, judgeth every man according to his
works, and the integrity of his heart but it is the faithful, and
those only, who can look for ward to the termination of their
pilgrimage here, wkh. a hope that they will then be admitted into
the mansions of bliss, where the wicked cease from troubling, and
the weary find rest. Some instances will be found, where men, by
yielding to the convicting power of truth, and the noble feelings
of justice, have broken the chains of slavery, and said to the
captive, Go free. May others, by following their example, share in
the reward attendant on such acts of benevolence...
