William Lloyd Garrison

CHAPTER IX
22/31

Wherever there was a school-house, a hall, or a church, there they were, ubiquitous, irrepressible, a cry in the wilderness of a nation's iniquity.

Anti-slavery tracts and periodicals multiplied and started from New York and Boston in swarms, and clouds, the thunder of their wings were as the thunder of falling avalanches to the guilty conscience of the country.

J.D.

Paxton's 'Letters on Slavery'; the Rev.S.J.

May's letters to Andrew T.Judson, 'The Rights of Colored People to Education Vindicated'; Prof.Elizur Wright, Jr.'s, 'Sin of Slavery and Its Remedy'; Whittier's 'Justice and Expediency'; and, above all, Mrs.Lydia Maria Child's startling 'Appeal in favor of that class of Americans called Africans' were the more potent of the new crop of writings betokening the vigor of Mr.Garrison's Propagandism," says that storehouse of anti-slavery facts the "Life of Garrison" by his children.
