Digitized by VnOOQ IC 834 THE HOUSE. SERVANTS [Ce.IV.
man's recollection that " the family servants were treated as well as the average hired servants of to-day." * That these remarks were in a measure true of some houses in the South cannot be denied, but there is abundant testimony to show that these statements by no means represent the average condition of household slaves.* This is what we should ex- pect, for the relation described by Clay was an inherent im- possibility, and the assertion... of General Sherman is refuted by the fact that the servant of to-day has a check upon the master in his privilege of quitting the service.
For the sake, however, of putting this aspect of slavery in its fairest light, I am glad to refer to the observations of two English travellers. Buckingham thought that the con- dition of the " slaves of the household was quite as com- fortable as that of servants in the middle ranks of life in England. They are generally well-fed, well-dressed, atten- tive, orderly, respectful, and easy to be governed, but more by kindness* than by severity.'" Sir Charles Lyell was of the opinion that the house-slaves had many advantages " over the white race in the same rank of life in Europe." * A witty English novelist, struck with the fact that, under the system, a good cook or an honest butler could not be tempted away by an offer of higher wages, said that negro slavery in America was a charming domestic institution.
