Стр. 26 - He has waged cruel war against human nature itself, violating its most sacred rights of life and liberty in the persons of a distant people who never offended him, captivating and carrying them into slavery in another hemisphere, or to incur miserable death in their transportation thither.

Стр. 307 - that new saint, than whom none purer or more brave was ever led by love of men into conflict and death — the new saint awaiting his martyrdom, and who, if he shall suffer, will make the gallows glorious like the cross ;" and this sentiment was responded to with enthusiasm by the immense audience of Tremont Temple.
Стр. 99 - Give all cowards an opportunity to show it on condition of holding their peace. Do not delay one moment after you are ready : you will lose all your resolution if you do. Let the first blow be the signal for all to engage ; and when engaged do not do your work by halves, but make clean work with your enemies, — and be sure you meddle not with any others. By going about your business quietly, you will get the job disposed of before the number that an uproar would bring together can collect...
Стр. 304 - I have asked to be spared from having any mock or hypocritical prayers made over me when I am publicly murdered, and that my only religious attendants be poor little, dirty, ragged, bareheaded and barefooted slave boys and girls, led by some old grayheaded slave mother.
