Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Letter to Robert Hibbert, Jun
Your admission, that you paid but little attention to my Letters in the Monthly Repository, surprised me; for I sub mit, on the declaration quoted above front your private letter, that I had every ground to expect that you would read them as they came out; and as I heard from you of no Objection to them, I concluded, strong as they are in many places, that you had none to make. But I perceive from your reference to my evidence in the tract called Negro Slavery, that my great sin consists in my not applying to you before I ventured to contribute matter 'for a few pages of that oh noxious work. I however, did not see the necessity of this. You had already professed to rejoice much in the prospect of my report being laid before the public; and I concluded that it could not signify one iota in what publication it ap peared. It was sent to you as soon as it was printed, yet you never condescended to favour me with your opinion till more than two years after the date of my first letter in the Repository, when your three humble servants come forward with their oaths.
