“Amern Abolitionists have as little leisure to think of good taste as Clarkson had of the salvation of his soul.”

Fuller, Margaret. The Letters of Margaret Fuller. Edited by Robert N. Hudspeth. Ithaca: Cornell University Press.

Inferred Fuller’s words — “Amern Abolitionists have as little leisure to think of good taste as Clarkson had of the salvation of his soul.” — point to The History of the Rise, Progress, and Accomplishment of the Abolition of the African Slave Trade, but she does not give the work’s full title or author here; the identification of the specific work is the editor’s.
