- "I dare not reperuse what I have written, I must deposit it."
- "‘Reperuse now that portion of this argument which has reference to the identification of the corpse by Beauvais.’"
- "The one selection he [Frederick Douglass] “perused and reperused,” he remembered, was “Dialogue Between a Master and a Slave.” The naivete and simplicity of this philosophical exchange between a slaveowner and his bondsman “profoundly affected” the early teenage slave as he read its improbable conclusion. What Douglass at least discovered here was that slavery was something subject to “argument,” even between master and slave; that the slave would convince the master to liberate him might seem unlikely in reality, but this did not tarnish the piece’s fundamental point—the slave won the moral debate."
