[Durham and Pruitt] have assembled a useful resource by including the published correspondence between Hillard and Nabuco, as well as a transcript of speeches given at an abolitionist dinner thrown in Hillard's honor. Taken together, the volume tells a surprising story that should contribute to our understanding of Atlantic world abolitionism. - Journal of Southern History
