NOTICES OF NEW PUBLICATIONS.
A Letter to the Citizens or the United States. By the Rev. Theodore Parker.
This is another stunning bolt from the heaven of thought, upon the head of American Slavery. In the pamphlet before us, we have one of the most concise, powerful, and thorough examinations of Slavery, with which we have met during the course of our anti-slavery reading. Mr. Parker has examined the subject in its various bearings, and has shown himself as much at home in its political and economical, as in its religious and moral aspects. The letter should find a place in every family, and be read and pondered by every person in the land. We regret that our limits forbid a more lengthy notice of this pamphlet. We may give our readers a few extracts from it next week. Meanwhile, we hope to receive copies of the work with which to supply such persons as may wish to read it.
