Excerpt from Southern Institutes, Or an Inquiry Into the Origin and Early Prevalence of Slavery and the Slave-Trade: With an Analysis of the Laws, History, and Government of the Institution in the Principal Nations, Ancient and Modern, From the Earliest Ages Down to the Present Time In presenting a treatise of this character to the public, it may not be improper to state the motives which have actuated the author, and the causes that have led to its production. No one inured to the institutions, habits, manners, and customs of the South, can mingle to any considerable extent in social circles in portions of the free States, without coming in collision with sentiments and feelings that find no sympathy in his own heart - no welcome response in his own bosom. Repeated altercations of this character, within the last few years, have convinced him of the gross ignorance and misconception of the true spirit of our institutions, and of the facts of their details, that pervade public opinion generally in those sections of the Union.
