This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Henry was born on June 27, 1805 in Griswold, Connecticut, United States. His father, Joseph, a woolen manufacturer and merchant, traced his ancestry to Thomas Stanton who emigrated to America from England, and about 1637 settled in Connecticut. He was Crown interpreter of the Indian tongues in New England and judge of the New London county court. Henry's mother, Susan Brewster, was a descendant of William Brewster who arrived on the Mayflower.
He studied at the academy in Jewett City, Connecticut.
After studying at the academy in Jewett City, Connecticut, Henry went to Rochester in 1826 to write for Thurlow Weed's Monroe Telegraph, which was then supporting Henry Clay for the presidency.
In 1828 he delivered addresses and wrote for the Telegraph in behalf of John Quincy Adams. The next year he became deputy clerk of Monroe County, New York, and continued in that office until 1832, meanwhile studying law and the classics.
Converted by Charles G. Finney, and having come into contact with Theodore D. Weld, he then entered Lane Theological Seminary, in Cincinnati, where in the fall of 1834 he helped organize an anti-slavery society.
Soon he was made agent of the American Anti-Slavery Society, and was later a member of its executive committee. For many years thereafter he devoted practically all of his time to this reform. He wrote for the Liberator and other abolitionist journals, for religious publications, and for some political papers, including the National Era of Washington and the New York American.
He also appeared before many legislative commissions, and made platform speeches from Maine to Indiana.
From 1837 to 1840 he busied himself with trying to get the abolitionists to form a strong political organization, a project which William Lloyd Garrison opposed, thereby causing a permanent break in the relation of the two men.
Immediately after his marriage Stanton sailed with his wife for London to attend the World Anti-Slavery Convention, to which he was a delegate. Later, he traveled through Great Britain and Ireland delivering many speeches on the slavery question. One result of this tour was his Sketches of Reforms and Reformers, of Great Britain and Ireland (1849).
Upon his return to the United States he studied law with his father-in-law, was admitted to the bar, and began practising in Boston. Finding the Massachusetts winters too severe for his health, he removed about 1847 to Seneca Falls, New York, making this place his home for the next sixteen years.
In 1849 he was elected to the state Senate from Seneca Falls. He was one of the senators who resigned to prevent a quorum in the Senate and the passage of the bill appropriating millions of dollars for the enlargement of the canals.
In 1851 he was reelected but was not again a candidate. After the Civil War he gave most of his time to journalism, being connected with the New York Tribune under the editorship of Greeley, and with the Sun from 1869 to his death.
He died in New York City.

(Excerpt from Remarks of Henry B. Stanton, in the Represen...)
He was successful at the law, but his continued interest in abolition led him into increased political activity. He was involved with the Liberty Party after he and Elizabeth Cady Stanton returned from London in 1840 and he joined the Free Soil Party in the late 1840s. Both organizations were third parties formed in opposition to slavery. He remained a Republican until Grant's administration, during which he joined the Democrats.
He was a member of the American Anti-Slavery Society.
As a speaker he was quick-witted, eloquent, and impassioned, capable of making his hearers laugh as well as weep, and was ranked by many as the ablest anti-slavery orator of his day. His handsome, distinguished appearance, personal charm, and rare conversational powers added to his general popularity. His thunderous denunciations of human bondage subjected him, however, to scores of mob attacks.
On May 10, 1840, he married Elizabeth Cady, daughter of Judge Daniel Cady of Johnstown, New York; seven children were born to them.
