Ah, dear reader, do you think a good man would take such a position ? And what man is there who would not become worse daily by bein...g placed in such a situation, with unlimited power over hundreds of abject beings, 40 SKETCHES OF SLAVE LIFE.
whom he looks upon as only a little above the brute ? Ah, ye who look coolly on in the distance, and doubt the exist- ence of all this wretchedness, go nearer, become yourself the property of another, and then your doubts will be re- moved !
