500 $aIncrease S. Smith wishes that Caroline Weston was here to read with him some sentences from Cicero. He describes the "treatise De Legibus." He gives an exposition, with some quotations, of Cicero's argument. Increase S. Smith asks: "Don't you think, Miss Weston, that Cicero would have been an Abolitionist if he had lived at the present time, and in this Republick?" He refers (ironically) to the "beautiful Anti-Slavery Address" by Mr. [Robert Barnwell] Rhett of South Carolina. Increase S. Smith wants Caroline Weston to visit at his house when Mr. Edmund Quincy comes to give his lecture.
