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.
