Excerpt from Domestic Slavery: Considered as a Scriptural InstitutionIN compliance with the wish of my friend and brother, the Rev. Dr. Fuller, the joint author with me of the following pages, I offer a few words by way of introduction.The origin and progress of this correspondence may be thus brie¿y stated.In the month of November last, at the request of the editor of the Christian Re¿ector, Dr. Fuller addressed a letter to that paper, presenting in brief his reasons for believing that Domestic Slavery is sanctioned by the Scriptures, and is therefore not always a sin. In this letter several allusions were made to the publications on this subject both of the late lamented Dr. Charming and myself. Had this eminent man been spared to us, the duty of de fending what we both believed would have fallen into abler hands. It having pleased God to call him to his rest, this duty seemed to devolve upon me. I immediately communicated my intention to Dr. Fuller, and was gratified to learn that it met with his hearty concurrence.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
