 Title:  Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave  
 Published:  1993 
 Subjects:  University of Virginia Library, Text collection | UVA-LIB-Text 
 Description: In the month of August, 1841, I attended an anti- slavery convention in Nantucket, at which it was my happiness to become acquainted with FREDERICK DOUGLASS, the writer of the following Narrative. He was a stranger to nearly every member of that body; but, having recently made his escape from the south- ern prison-house of bondage, and feeling his curiosity excited to ascertain the principles and measures of the abolitionists, — of whom he had heard a somewhat vague description while he was a slave, — he was in- duced to give his attendance, on the occasion al- luded to, though at that time a resident in New Bedford.
