From the North Star.

“After waiting several weeks, we have received a copy of this little work. It is certainly one of the most interesting and thrilling narratives of slavery ever laid before the American people. The exposure which the author makes of the horrors of slavery — the separations — the whippings, and the accumulated outrages inflicted on the slave, must stir the blood of every reader who has the pulsations of a man. The description of the

slave's longing for freedom — of his deception, tricks and stratagems to escape his condition, is just, though humiliating. His narrations of the cruelty of individual slaveholders, is natural, and we doubt not in every essential particular is true. We deem the work a most valuable acquisition to the anti-slavery cause; and we hope that it may be widely circulated through out the country.”
