a-f

A. Harriet Jacobs. Portrait from the frontispiece to Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl, 1861.
im not exactly sure if this is the right thing...i found it online, not in the book, so its probly not what we r looking for, but just in case,...

B. Title page says "Written by Herself"

C. "Northerners know nothing at all about Slavery. They think it is perpetual
bondage only. They have no conception of the depth of degradation involved
in that word, SLAVERY; if they had, they would never cease their efforts until
so horrible a system was overthrown."

A WOMAN OF NORTH CAROLINA.

"Rise up, ye women that are at ease! Hear my voice, ye careless daughters!
Give ear unto my speech."

ISAIAH xxxii. 9.

William Nell:"a handsome volume of 306 pages that presents features more attractive than many of its predecessors purporting to be histories of slave life in America"

Lydia Maria Child (editor):THE author of the following autobiography is personally known to me, and her conversation and manners inspire me with confidence. During the last seventeen years, she has lived the greater part of the time with a distinguished family in New York, and has so deported herself as to be highly esteemed by them.

D. AHHHHHH I CANT FIND OUT HOW TO DO THIS ONE!!!

F. appendix comprised of quotes by Amy Post, page 304-306. example: "The author of this book is my highly-esteemed friend. If its readers knew her as I know her, they could not fail to be deeply interested in her story. She was a beloved inmate of our family nearly the whole of the year 1849. She was introduced to us by her affectionate and conscientious brother, who had previously related to us some of the almost incredible events in his sister's life. I immediately became much interested in Linda, for her appearance was prepossessing, and her deportment indicated remarkable delicacy of feeling and purity of thought.
