in the glory of freedom's light,
Beams out from the darkness of wide-spread night;
Throughout its length,
In greatness and strength,
The honour of the free and brave.

"This entrancing narrative * * * We trust that thousands of our readers
will procure the volume, which is published by Mr. Gilpin at a mere
trifle--much too cheap to accomplish the purpose for which, in part or
mainly, it has been published--the raising a fund to remove the pecuniary
burdens which press on the author's flock. NOTHING SHORT OF THE SALE OF
FIFTY THOUSAND OR SIXTY THOUSAND COPIES could be at all availing for this
object. * * * We very cordially recommend him and his narrative to the
kind consideration of our readers. Let them load him with English
hospitality, fill his purse, and send him back as fast as possible to the
land of his early bondage, of his matured freedom, and to the people to
whose character and capabilities he does so much honour."--_Christian
Witness_, October, 1849.

"The principal portion of the 'Tract,' as Mr. Pennington modestly styles
his book, consists of an autobiography of his early life as a slave, and
of his escape from bondage, and final settlement in New York as a
Presbyterian Minister. His adventures and hair-breadth escapes invest the
narrative with startling interest, and excite the deepest sympathies of
the reader."--_Nonconformist_, September, 26th, 1849.

"Believing that by the purchase of this little book our readers will
confer a benefit on the writer, at the same time that they become
possessed of a narrative of deep interest, we give it our most cordial
recommendation."--_Teetotal Times_, October, 1849.
