With See also:money secretly earned by blacking boots he See also:purchased his first See also:book, the Columbian Orator; he soon learned to write " See also:free passes " for runaway slaves. Upon the See also:death of Captain Anthony in 1833, he was sent back to the plantation to serve Thomas Auld, who hired him out for a year to one Edward Covey, who had a wide reputation for disciplining slaves, but who did not break Frederick's spirit.

escape in 1836, but his plans were suspected, and he was put in jail. From lack of See also:evidence he was soon released, and was then sent to Hugh Auld in Baltimore, where he was apprenticed as a See also:ship caulker. He learned his See also:trade in one year, and in See also:September 1838, masquerading as a sailor, he escaped by railway See also:train from Baltimore to New See also:York See also:city. For the See also:sake of greater safety he soon removed to New See also:Bedford, See also:Massachusetts, where he changed his name from Frederick See also:Augustus See also:Washington See also:Bailey to Frederick Douglass, " Douglass " being adopted at the See also:suggestion of a friend who greatly admired See also:Scott's See also:Lady of the See also:Lake.

To quiet the suspicion that he was an impostor, in 1845 he published the Narrative of the See also:Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave. Fearing his recapture, his See also:friends persuaded him to go to England, and from August 1845 to See also:April 1847 he lectured in See also:Ireland,
See also:Scotland and England, and did much to enlist the sympathy of the See also:British public with the Abolitionists in See also:America. Before his return a sum of 4150 was raised by subscription to secure his legal manumission, thus relieving him from the fear of being returned to slavery in pursuance of the Fugitive Slave See also:Law. From 1847 to 186o he conducted an anti-slavery weekly See also:journal, known as The See also:North See also:Star, and later as Frederick Douglass's See also:Paper, at See also:Rochester, New York, and, during this See also:- TIME (0.
