Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Some Historical Account of Guinea: Its Situation, Produce, and the General Disposition of Its Inhabitants; With an Inquiry Into the Rise and Progress of the Slave Trade, Its Nature and Lamentable Effects The Author of the following Account of Guinea having been one of the earliest and most distinguished advocates for the unfortunate Africans, a short account of him may not be unacceptable. Anthony Benezet was of a respectable family, and was born at St. Quintin, in Picardy, in 1713. His father was one of the many Protestants who, in consequence of the persecutions which followed the revocation of the edict of Nantz, sought an asylum in foreign countries. After a short stay in Holland, he settled with his wife and several children in London, in 1715. Our Author having received a liberal education, served an apprenticeship in an eminent mercantile house in London. In 1731, the whole family removed to Philadelphia. His three brothers followed trade successfully; but he, whose pursuits were directed to worthier objects than the attainment of wealth, and whose highest gratification consisted in promoting the welfare of mankind, chose the humble, but useful, occupation of instructing young people in the paths of knowledge and virtue.
