This partial quote is from Tucker's "Dissertation on Slavery" and comes from part seven of his plan to end the practice. Of it he says "The restrictions in the foregoing Plan may appear to favour strongly of prejudice; but whoever proposes any Plan for the abolition of Slavery, must either encounter or accommodate himself to prejudice. I have preferred the latter: not that I pretend to be wholly exempt from it, but that I might avoid as many obstacles as possible to the completion of so desirable a work as the abolition of Slavery."
