He was greatly moved by D's account and salutes his bravery to tell his story. On Wendell's side, he notes that he is glad that D is telling his story and that the facts of slavery will soon be well known. This was included because it shows that G noted that the Narrative truly was written by D and his story showed how slaves are typically treated. He is impressed with D because of how much he had to deal with during slavery. G speaks earnestly about D, noting that he has a "union of head and heart" which wins the heart of others. Garrison notes that Douglass has been successful and persuasive. After asking Douglass if he would help him promote the antislavery enterprise, Douglass hesitates but then decided to give it a try. In Garrison's statements, he recalls his first meeting with Douglass and how Douglass's speech about his life as a slave greatly impressed him and the rest of the audience.
