| Quote of the moment |
| American citizens are instrumental in carrying on a traffic in enslaved Africans, equally in violation of the laws of humanity and in defiance of those of their own country.

| It is not a piece of fine feminine Spitalfields silk—but is of the horrible texture of a fabric that should be woven of ships’ cables & hausers. A Polar wind blows through it, & birds of prey hover over it. Warn all gentle fastidious people from so much as peeping into the book—on risk of a lumbago & sciatics. |
| ~ Herman Melville (1819–1891), U.S. author. letter, Sept. 12 or 19?, 1851, to Sarah Huyler Morewood. Correspondence, vol. 14, The Writings of Herman Melville, ed. Lynn Horth (1993). On Moby-Dick. ~ |
