Additional Details

Fisher addresses two questions: "Why the system arose?" and "If it be consistent with man's moral and civil rights?" He concludes that "no evil more monstrous has ever existed upon earth." An envelope laid in to the booklet suggests that Fisher later emigrated to North Carolina.
