 Well, here's a review. Again, the book published May 1st, 1845. This is a review from the New York Tribune, June 10th, 1845. Considered merely as a narrative, we have never read one more simple, true, coherent, and warm with genuine feeling. It is an excellent piece of writing and on that score to be prized as a specimen of the powers of the black race, which prejudice persists in disputing.
