Published by Long, an abolitionist and minister of the Philadelphia annual conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church. In conclusion, declares "On the forehead of slavery, as it exists in the Southern States of the American Union, and as I have faintly endeavored to picture it in these pages, may be inscribed these burning words of terrible significance, from the Book of Revelation: Mystery, Babylon the Great, the Mother of Harlots and abominations of the earth." Contains the arguments of Wesley and Watson against slavery. "Mrs. Dr. Vanneman" written on title page.
