Note on the Text

Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl was first published in Boston by Thayer and Eldridge, who requested a preface by the well-known abolitionist Lydia Maria Child.

The text of this ebook edition is based on digital files created for Documenting the American South, UNC-Chapel Hill, and scans of the first edition held by Boston Public Library, available on Archive.Org. While every effort has been made to ensure that the text is reproduced faithfully, this edition is no substitute for an authoritative edition.
