Book excerpt: Excerpt from Second Annual Report of the Board of Managers of the New-England Anti-Slavery Society: Presented January 15, 1834 Colonization Society, by publishing a letter of his to Elliott Cresson, which was written some time before, at a time when he had adopted favorable impressions in regard to the Society, which fuller information led him to reverse. During the year, the Society has been deprived by death of its venerable and excellent President, John Kenrick, Esq. He was a man of great benevolence and integrity. He had for many years before his death taken an active part in the anti slavery cause. In the year 1816, he published a small volume compiled by himself, entitled the Horrors of Slavery. This work is in two parts, the first chiefly composed of extracts from the speeches of British statesmen; the second chiefly of extracts from American writers. It contains also an introduction and concluding remarks by the compiler. He printed 3000 copies of the work at his own expense, which be distributed chiefly among the members of Congress, and of the State Legislatures, and other persons in the Northern and Western States.' He was a liberal benefactor of our Society, having given do nations to it'to the amount of six hundred dollars, including two hundred and fifty dollars to the Manual Labor School.
