Excerpt from The American Slave Code, in Theory and Practice, Its Distinctive Features Shown by Its Statutes, Judicial Decisions Illustrative Facts

Rev. and Dear Sir,

On returning the MSS. of your "American Slave Code, in Theory and Practice," I must ask you to accept my thanks for writing it, as well as for favouring me with its early perusal. Surely, never before has mischief been framed by law with more diabolical ingenuity than in this infernal code. Your analysis of the slave-laws is very able, and your exhibition of their practical application by the Southern Courts evinces great and careful research.
