FROM THE “MORNING STAR,” DOVER, NEW HAMPSHIRE.

“The work is intensely interesting.  Many of the narratives thrill the reader through and through.  Some of them awaken an indignation, a horror, or a sense of humiliation and shame that makes the blood curdle or the cheek flush, or the breathing difficult.  The best and the worst sides of human nature are successfully exhibited.  Here heroism and patience stand out transfigured; there selfishness and brutality hold carnival till it seems as though justice had been exiled and God had forgotten his own.  The number of cases reported is very large, and the method in which the author has done his work is commendable.  There is no rhetorical ambition.  The narratives are embodied in plain language.  The facts are left to make their own impression, without an attempt to embellish them by the aid of imagination.  And the work is timely.”

FROM THE “FRIENDS’ REVIEW,” PHILADELPHIA.

“We are glad to see this book.  We anticipate for it a large circulation, and a permanent rank in a peculiar and painful department of history.  The writer is one among very many who are entitled to the hearty support of philanthropists for their services rendered, often at considerable sacrifices and imminent peril, for the rescue and aid of those who were wickedly held in bondage....  The Underground Railroad should have a place in every comprehensive library, private or public.
