CHAPTER XVI.
         368.13 [p. 336 in previous printings]: disapproval
         409.37 [p. 375 in previous printings]: *See Note on page 413.
         413.16-24 [p. 379 in previous printings]: *I sincerely regret that I have done
Mr. Winthrop great injustice. This│Faneuil Hall speech of his was not the first
manifestation of his zealous in-│terest in the loyal cause during the late war. While
it is quite true that Mr.│Winthrop was strongly against the anti-slavery movement at
the North, his│addresses and speeches delivered during the war, as they have come
to│my knowledge since writing the foregoing chapter, prove him to have been│
among the most earnest in his support of the National Government in its efforts to
suppress the rebellion and to restore the Union.│FREDERICK DOUGLAS.

Publication: The printing first including the footnote appearing on p. 413 occurred in
or after March 1882. Robert C. Winthrop, Jr., had informed Douglass of the degree
to which he had misrepresented his father and directed him to the speeches his father
had made in support of the Union cause. In his reply, Douglass assured him how
"very much obliged" he was for the information, explaining that the mistake he had
made would not "have happened...had I not been in the West when these speeches
were made and published in the Boston papers and thus escaped my notice."
Douglass to Robert C. Winthrop, letter tipped into a copy of the first printing of
the first American edition of Life, March 3, 1882, Massachusetts Historical Society.
