NEW PRINT WITH PROFESSIONAL TYPE-SET IN CONTRAST TO SCANNED PRINTS OFFERED BY OTHERS Calumny Refuted, By Facts From Liberia: With Extracts From The Inaugural Address Of The Coloured President Roberts; An Eloquent Speech Of Hilary Teage, A Coloured Senator; And Extracts From A Discourse By H. H. Garnett, A Fugitive Slave, On The Past And Present Condition, And Destiny Of The Coloured Race. This book is a result of an effort made by us towards making a contribution to the preservation and repair of original classic literature. In an attempt to preserve, improve and recreate the original content, we have worked towards: 1. Type-setting & Reformatting: The complete work has been re-designed via professional layout, formatting and type-setting tools to re-create the same edition with rich typography, graphics, high quality images, and table elements, giving our readers the feel of holding a fresh and newly reprinted and/or revised edition, as opposed to other scanned & printed (Optical Character Recognition - OCR) reproductions. 2. Correction of imperfections: As the work was re-created from the scratch, therefore, it was vetted to rectify certain conventional norms with regard to typographical mistakes, hyphenations, punctuations, blurred images, missing content/pages, and/or other related subject matters, upon our consideration. Every attempt was made to rectify the imperfections related to omitted constructs in the original edition via other references. However, a few of such imperfections which could not be rectified due to intentional\unintentional omission of content in the original edition, were inherited and preserved from the original work to maintain the authenticity and construct, relevant to the work.

Autorenporträt
Wilson Armistead was a Quaker, businessman, abolitionist, and writer from Leeds. He was born on August 30, 1819, and died on February 18, 1868. He was in charge of the Leeds Anti-Slavery Association and wrote and edited books that were against slavery. His most famous work, A Tribute for the Negro, came out in 1848. In it, he calls slavery "the most extensive and extraordinary system of crime the world has ever witnessed." In 1851, he took in Ellen and William Craft and listed them on the census as "fugitive slaves." This has been called "guerrilla inscription." Abolitionist William Wells Brown, an important African American, said, "Few English gentlemen have done more to hasten the day of the slave's liberation than Wilson Armistead." Wilson Armistead was born on August 30, 1819, in Leeds to Joseph and Hannah Armistead. He grew up in Holbeck, where his family ran a flax and mustard business at Water Hall. The Quaker meeting house was close by on Water Lane. Wilfred Allott said that the Armistead family had been "faithful Friends" for a long time. Armistead married Mary Bragg in 1844, and in 1846, their son Joseph John was born.
