Every book has its preface. A book without a preface, would be like
a city without a directory, or an animal with part only of the
organs necessary to its existence. We have proposed to write the
Biography of Rev. JERMAIN WESLEY LOGUEN, and we have given its
features in the following pages accurately. We took the features
from him and filled up the picture. We began with his parents,
infancy, childhood, and traced him from the Southern prison through
the wilderness, and Canada, and back to the United States again, to
fight the enemy all through the anti-slavery war to the end of the
Jerry Rescue--giving the particulars of that Rescue, with the names
of persons engaged in it, on one side and on the other. The latter
half of the life of Mr. Loguen stands out before the world. The
other half is buried in the cimmerian night of slavery. Defective
as is our taste and ability in giving the former, it will be
allowed that we have been true to it, because the world has seen
it. It is that portion in the folds of slavery only that may be
questioned and criticised. It will be more likely to be questioned,
because some few facts, circumstances, and discourse, not connected
with Mr. LOGUEN'S experience with slavery, have been supplied to
connect the real facts of his life, and furnish variety for the
reader. Whoever reads such portion, or any portion of this book
will remember, that not a fact relating to his, or his mother's, or
brother's, or sister's experience with slavery, is stated, that is
not, literally or substantially, true. Those facts were history
before they were written; and they were written because they were
history.
