Excerpt from Sketches of Slave Life: Or, Illustrations of the 'Peculiar Institution' IN giving the following sketches or slave life to the public, the writer hepes that, whatever may be their literary defects, they will help to increase the sympathy now so widely felt for the poor crushed and perishing slaves in this land - a land most untru ly styled the home of the free and the brave.
