In this intriguing book, Hendrik Hartog uses a forgotten 1840 case to explore the regime of gradual emancipation that took place in New Jersey over the first half of the nineteenth century. Hartog marks how the peculiar language mobilized by the debate - about care as a “mere voluntary courtesy” - became routine in a wide range of subsequent cases about “good Samaritans”.
