THE
CABIN AND PARLOR:
OR,
SLAVES AND MASTERS.

Complete in One Duodecimo Volume of 336 pages.

BY J. THORNTON RANDOLPH.

From a Review of the Work, written by a Celebrated Critic.

“The Cabin and Parlor,” is a book for the whole country, and not for one section
only. It is intended to allay, not excite, local jealousies. It is free from all bias of party.
Every person who values the Constitution framed by Washington and his co-patriots,
or loves “truth for truth's sake,” should have a copy of this work.

The author is a gentleman who has travelled both North and South, so that his descriptions
are both faithful and accurate; indeed, nearly every incident described in the
volume, he has personally witnessed. The narrative, though thus substantially true, is
as thrilling as the most engrossing novel. Never, perhaps, has a book so interesting in
every respect, been offered to the American public.

The spirit of enlarged philanthropy which pervades the book, is not its least recommendation.
The author is a true and wise friend of his race, and not a quack in morals,
as so many modern writers are. His religion is that of the Bible, and not mere varnished
infidelity.

From the Dollar Newspaper of September 15th, 1852.

The Cabin and the Parlor.—This is the title of a new work, which Mr. T. B. Peterson
has in press, and which, we are assured, following as it does. Mrs. Stowe's popular
work of “Uncle Tom's Cabin,” will create no little sensation in the public mind. It
cannot be called a “Companion to Uncle Tom's Cabin,” or to “Aunt Phillis' Cabin,” for
we are told, it takes a broader and a higher ground than either of these admirable works
of fiction and of fact. The real name of the author, we are inclined to think, does not
appear, though we have reason to know that the work is the production of a gentleman
and scholar, whose noble Essays on Colonization, and the relative position of the North
and South, in the Compromise on the Slavery question, have been quoted with praise
by the united press of the country. The book will contain over three hundred pages.

From the Evening Argus of September 7th, 1852.

Cabin and Parlor.—T. B. Peterson, No. 98 Chestnut Street, has in press and will publish
in a few days, a new work, entitled, “The Cabin and the Parlor, or Slaves and Masters,”
from the pen of J. Thornton Randolph. It will be a most interesting work, and
cannot fail to enjoy a wide circulation at this particular time, when the popular mind is
directing its enquiries in this peculiar vein of the social relations of life.

From Neal's Saturday Gazette of September 4th, 1852.

“The Cabin and Parlor.”—Under this head a new novel is advertised in this week's
Gazette. We have read a few of the opening chapters, and they certainly are thrillingly
written. We regard it as the most comprehensive work that has yet appeared on the
subject, and believe that it will circulate by tens of thousands.

From the Daily Sun of September 8th, 1852.

The Cabin and Parlor, or. Slaves and Masters.—T. B. Peterson, No. 98 Chestnut

“Uncle Tom's Cabin.”

magnificent Illustrations, executed in the finest style of the art, from original
