Scriptural and Statistical Views in favor of Slavery, 



By THORNTON STRINGFELLOW, D. D. Price 50c. 



It is a complete exposition of the institution of Slavery, giving Bible evidence to sustain its legality. It is 

 a well written work, and will repay a perusal, and the author deserves the patronage as well as the thanks of 

 the people of the Soutlihern States, for the able defence he has put forth in behalf of their institutions. — 

 Greenbriar Era. 



" The true use of such a book at this time is 'to dissipate the doubts of that apologetic class of people in 

 the South, who are in the habit of weakening the cause of the South by a weak defense and illogical support 

 of her vital institution of slavery." — N. O. Delta.
