alone, and that my views must not be understood to be
shared by members of the Federation to which I refer. My Abolitionist
friends on the Continent of Europe, with very few exceptions, hold an
opinion absolutely opposed to mine on the general question here treated.
It is not far otherwise in England itself, where many of our
Abolitionists, including some of my oldest and most valued
fellow-workers, stand on a very different ground from mine in this
matter. I value friendship, and I love my old friends. But I love truth
more. I have very earnestly sought to know the truth in the matter here
treated. I have not rejected evidence from any side, having read the
most extreme as well as the more moderate writings on different sides,
including those which have reached me from Holland, France, Switzerland,
Germany, and the Transvaal, as well as those published in England.
Having conscientiously arrived at certain conclusions, based on facts,
and on life-long convictions in regard to some grave matters of
principle, I have thought it worth while to put those conclusions on
record. J.E.B.
