Excerpt from The Unconstitutionality of Slavery

The True American, (cortland County, N. Says It is an imperishable and triumphant work. A law argument that would add to the fame of the most famed jurist, living or dead.

The Bangor Gazette says It is indeed a masterly argument. No one, unprejudiced, who has supposed that that instrument (the constitution) contained guarantees of slavery, or who has had doubts upon the point, can rise from the perusal without feeling relieved from the supposition that our great national charter is one of slavery and not of free dom. And no lawyer can read it without admiring, besides its other great excellences, the clearness of its style, and its logical precision.

The Hampshire Herald, (northampton) says It is worthy the most gifted intellect in the country.
