To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is the labor which a serving man or woman can perform, that makes them at all valu- able in the affairs of men. When a slave is trans- ferred from one possessor to another, the labor which said slave may reasonably be considered capable of performing, is the consideraiion oi value that is taicen into the account, and not the mere body of the serv- ant. How differs then a transaction of this kind from those which are of daily occurrence in every civilized community, viz : the hiring of one in...dividual to another to labor a specified time for a stipulated amount? The ditference consists alone in the terms, not in the nature, of the transaction ; for, in either case, it is the labor of the individual that constitutes the thing of value. In the one case, the hireling receives for his services a stipulated sum of money ; in the FORTUNES. OF THE NEGRO RACE.
415 other, the slave has secured to him, by the laws of the land, the necessaries and comforts of life, con- sisting of food, raiment, protection, &c.
