He writes, "I hope you will find no offensive expressions in the work. I am sure I feel no ill will towards its slaveholders, but it is possible that in my zeal for freedom...I sometimes use language that seems harsh." He further discusses his belief that "immediate emancipation is the only way." He praises Garrison's character and devotion to the anti-slavery cause. He discusses the rhetoric and "violence of language" used by Garrison and others and remarks, "no great movement has ever been brought about without violence of language-our Revolution-all our political measures-a Bank or a Tariff an annexation or a war-all are attended with violent denunciations."
