SHERMAN & SON, PRINTERS, PHILADELPHIA. ADVERTISEMENT. THE following Sketch was prepared as an Introduction to a Treatise on "The Law of Slavery;" and was published as such. At the suggestion of friends, a few copies have been bound separately, for such readers as would not desire the legal work. Two chapters from the Treatise on "The Law of Slavery" have been added as an Appendix, being considered as germain to the subject of the "Sketch." This note will explain many things, which to the reader would otherwise appear to be singular. August, 1858. |
