DescriptionWilliam Lloyd Garrison thanks William Still for the gift of Still's book on the Underground Railroad; comments on the volume’s presentation and contents, including the perils encountered by escaping slaves and the impact of the Fugitive Slave Law; and expresses the hope that the book will be sold widely, both to recoup the expense of preparing it and “for the enlightenment of the rising generation as to the inherent cruelty of the defunct slave system.”
