Description
Excerpt from A Review From Home: In Answer to the Reviewers and Repudiators of Uncle Tom''s Cabin; By Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe
The criminal trembles when truth is deposed against him - so it is with those who oppose the material subject of this book, reviewing it upon technicalities instead of principle, and thus South Carolina, more sickly than her sisters, calls loudest for a physician.
The truth lays prostrate at her own door, and her defenders make her wrongs right with the beauty of abstractions, rather than acknowledge the evil, and create justice the guardian of power. The simple truth has found its way, amid her ham pered necessities, to the very fountain of material wrong, kindling the inventive ambition-of her va liant sons; and unblushing in that shame which sets the moralist and philanthropist at defiance, they come forward to the world to tell it of pious slavery and its joys.
