The Anti-Slavery Harp
A Collection of Songs for Anti-Slavery Meetings
Compiled by William W. Brown,
A fugitive slave.
1848.
The demand of the public for a cheap Anti-Slavery Song-Book, containing Songs of a more recent composition, has induced me to collect together, and present to the public, the songs contained in this book.
In making this collection, however, I am indebted to the authors of the "Liberty Minstrel," and "the Anti-Slavery Melodies," But the larger portion of these songs has never before been published; some have never been in print.
To all true friends of the Slave, the Anti-Slavery Harp is respectfully dedicated,
W. W. BROWN.
BOSTON, JUNE, 1848.
