_FROM HON. W.D. KELLEY, CONGRESSMAN FROM PA._

The stories you tell with admirable simplicity and directness of the
suffering heroically endured by such numbers of poor fugitives, will
instruct and inspire many who have regarded the American slave as a
member of an inferior race.

_Office_ "THE PRESS," _Philadelphia, Pa.__My Dear Sir:_--I have read
most of the proof sheets of your forthcoming book, entitled "THE
UNDERGROUND RAILROAD," and have just examined the letter-press
preparatory to its publication, and the accompanying engravings, and I
cannot refrain from stating, that I believe it to be a consummate work
of its kind. Its chief merit, of course, consists in its _extraordinary
revelations_ of the injustice and cruelty of the dead system of slavery,
but it is gratifying to notice that it will be printed and sent forth to
the world in so complete and admirable a style, _I commend it most
cheerfully as a book that every citizen should have in his library._
Very truly, yours,

JNO. W. FORNEY.

WM. STILL, Esq.

I join very cordially in the preceding statement and recommendation.

HON. MORTON McMICHAEL, _Ex-Mayor of Phila., Editor of N.A. & U.S.
Gazette._

I most cordially unite with Col. Forney and other gentlemen in
recommending to the public Mr. Still's work, entitled "THE UNDERGROUND
RAILROAD." The thrilling narratives cannot be read, even at this day,
without exciting the deepest emotion.

GEO. H. STUART.

I fully and heartily concur in the opinion of Col. Forney respecting Mr.
Still's work, entitled "THE UNDERGROUND RAILROAD."

HON. CHAS. GIBBONS.

Mr. Still's work appears to me to be one of _great interest, and I most
heartily unite in recommending it to the public attention._

HON. HENRY C. CAREY.

_FROM, J. MILLER MCKIM._

I have read your book with feelings of mingled pleasure and pride;
pleasure at the valuable contribution which it furnishes to anti-slavery
history and anti-slavery literature, and pride that you are the author
of it.

But the chief value of the book will be found in its main narratives,
which illustrate to th
