Excerpt from Abolitionrieties: Or Remarks on Some of the Members of the Pennsylvania State Anti-Slavery Society for the Eastern District, and the American Anti-Slavery Society, Most of Whom Were Present at the Annual Meetings, Held in Philadelphia and New York in May 1840 Note. - The following lines were written for the amusement of the author's acquaintance, without the most remote idea of their ever appearing in other than manuscript form. But a number of his friends being desirous of having a copy, he has complied with their request to have a small edition printed - not published. He hopes it is hardly necessary to say that whatever of unpalatable truth may be found in some of the stanzas, he wrote them with no unkindly feelings; and he would be sorry to think that any should be in the least offended by his remarks. The spirit of pleasantry with which they have been received by some who have the most cause to complain, (if cause there be, ) leads him to believe that those who find less to offend, will not be more irritable or unreasonable.
