henceforth free, manumitted, and discharged from all manner of servitude

and seal the fifth of December, in the year one thousand eight hundred

[Footnote 10: Mr. Douglass' published speeches alone, would fill two volumes
of the size of this. Our space will only permit the insertion of the
extracts which follow; and which, for originality of thought, beauty and
force of expression, and for impassioned, indignatory eloquence, have
seldom been equaled.]

[Footnote 11: It is not often that chattels address their owners. The following
letter is unique; and probably the only specimen of the kind extant. It
was written while in England.]
