The tone of the author of the preface when discussing the institution of slavery can vary based on the specific work being referenced, but if we are considering common themes in literature addressing slavery, the most likely choices would be either "Detached and analytical" or "Passionate and condemning."

If the author presents facts and provides commentary on the implications of slavery without emotional involvement, that would suggest a "Detached and analytical" tone. On the other hand, if the author expresses strong feelings against slavery and emphasizes its moral reprehensibility, then "Passionate and condemning" would be appropriate.

Without specific context, it’s difficult to determine definitively, but if the author is addressing the historical injustices of slavery, "Passionate and condemning" may often be the more accurate choice.
