PREFACE.
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 southern prison-house of bondage, and feeling his curiosity
excited to ascertain the principles and measures of the
abolitionists,¡ªof whom he had heard a somewhat vague
description while he was a slave,¡ªhe was induced to give his
attendance, on the occasion alluded to, though at that time a
resident in New Bedford.
Fortunate, most fortunate occurrence!¡ªfortunate for the
millions of his manacled brethren, yet panting for deliverance
from their awful thraldom!¡ªfortunate for the cause of negro
emancipation, and of universal liberty!¡ªfortunate for the land
of his birth, which he has already done so much to save and
bless!¡ªfortunate for a large circle of friends and acquaintances,
whose sympathy and affection he has strongly secured by the
many sufferings he has endured, by his virtuous traits of
character, by his ever-abiding remembrance of those who are in
bonds, as being bound with them!¡ªfortunate for the multitudes,
in various parts of our republic, whose minds he has enlightened
on the subject of slavery, and who have been melted to tears by
his pathos, or roused to virtuous indignation by his stirring
eloquence against the enslavers of men!¡ªfortunate for himself,
as it at once brought him into the field of public usefulness,
