[Narrative of the Life and Adventures of Henry Bibb, an American Slave, Written by Himself by Henry Bibb]@TWC D-Link bookNarrative of the Life and Adventures of Henry Bibb, an American Slave, Written by Himself INTRODUCTION 25/28
In this conclusion we all cordially unite. H.Bibb has for some years publicly made this narrative to assemblies, whose number cannot be told; it has commanded public attention in this State, and provoked inquiry. Occasionally too we see persons from the South, who knew him in early years, yet not a word or fact worthy of impairing its truth has reached us; but on the contrary, every thing tended to its corroboration. Mr.Bibb's Anti-slavery efforts in this State have produced incalculable benefit.
The Lord has blessed him into an instrument of great power.
He has labored much, and for very inadequate compensation.
Lucrative offers for other quarters did not tempt him to a more profitable field.
His sincerity and disinterestedness are therefore beyond suspicion. We bid him "God-speed," on his route.
