Gentle Reader, It is customary to omit prefaces. I beg you to make an exception in my particular case; I have something I really want to say. I have an object in this book, more than the mere telling of a story, and you can always judge of a book better if you compare it with the author's object.

When first published, Uncle Tom's Cabin brought with its huge success enormous attention to the depravity of slavery. Many people, however, quesetioned the basis of truth of the novel. In response, Mrs. Stowe gathered her research materials and published them in this rare book.

When proslavery critics of Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin (1851) charged that she did not describe slavery accurately, she published this fact-filled 1853 book demonstrating that her novel was true to life. This is a facsimile of an 1853 edition with the small text enlarged to make it more easily read. It is an excellent source of information about mid-nineteenth century American slavery.

Stowe's second anti-slavery novel is a primary text for students of literature and history--less well-known but now more pertinent than Uncle Tom's Cabin. This vigorous and compulsive read combines thought-provoking themes, rich characterisation, satire and sentiment.
