Question

from letters of the late ignatius sancho, an african
by ignatius sancho
ignatius sancho to laurence sterne
to mr. sterne.
july, 1776.
reverend sir,
it would be an insult on your humanity (or perhaps look like it) to apologize
for the liberty i am taking—i am one of those people whom the vulgar and
illiberal call “negurs”.—the first part of my life was rather unlucky, as i was
placed in a family who judged ignorance the best and only security for
obedience.—a little reading and writing i got by unwearied application.—
the latter part of my life has been—thro’ god’s blessing, truly fortunate,
having spent it in the service of one of the best families in the kingdom.—
my chief pleasure has been books.—philanthropy i adore.—how very
much, good sir, am i (amongst millions) indebted to you for the character
of your amiable uncle toby!—i declare, i would walk ten miles in the dog-
days, to shake hands with the honest corporal.—your sermons have
touch’d me to the heart, and i hope have amended it, which brings me to
the point.—in your tenth discourse, page seventy - eight, in the second
volume—is this very affecting passage—“consider how great a part of our
species—in all ages down to this—have been trod under the feet of cruel
and capricious tyrants, who would neither hear their cries, nor pity their
read the excerpt from letters of the late ignatius sancho, an african.
