Book Description
Excerpt from Anecdotes and Biographical Sketches Among the numerous papers, letters, journals, of the late Duchess of Devonshire which fell into the hands of her executors, were found several small volumes of Anecdotes and Biographical Sketches of Distinguished Persons, which gives them an interest. The Duchess herself was a person of acknowledged talent, and associating with all that were most celebrated at home and abroad, no one could be better qualified than herself in forming a just opinion of the persons she came in contact with, and by most of whom she was loved and admired.

Book Description
THE object of this selection is not to set forth the exploits of the warrior, who has drenched fields i blood, destroyed cities by fire, and their inhabitants by famine, who has made the mother a widow, and her children fatherless; and deprived the aged of their comfort and support in declining life. It is not to rehearse the harangues, nor to set forth the eloquence of the man of science; but to encourage virtue and morality in the different classes of society; and by bringing into view the effects which a system of slavery has on the human mind, and the dreadful consequences of that arbitrary power invested in the slave-holder over his fellow being; to show how it hardens the heart and petrifies the feelings. No doubt there are some men who in early life, and before they were placed in authority, like Hazael, would have been shocked to hear predicted what they have afterwards, and under different circumstances, put in practice; but there are others, who, being trained up in the midst of Slavery, are inured from their infancy to see the sufferings of the poor slaves, and to hear their cries, become almost insensible to the responsibility of their station, and the enormity of the evils they are committing. For these, as well as for the slaves, our tenderest sympathy ought to be awakened, and our aspirations to ascend before Him who can unstop the deaf ear, and open the eyes even of those who are blind.
