Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Three Months in Great Britain Dear Friend, - A wish having been expressed by thyself and several other persons, to have some account of a visit my wife and self made to England in the summer of 1840, I shall attempt to give a brief statement of some of the incidents of our voyage and travel; but not possessing the power of description, I do not suppose that it will be very instructive, or contain much that will be new or interesting. We sailed from New York on the 7th of Fifth month, in the packet ship Roscoe, Captain Huttleston, in company with several others, who, with ourselves, purposed being at the Anti-Slavery Convention to be held in London in the Sixth month. There were thirty-two cabin passengers, some of them residents of the island of Jamaica, with whom the subject of slavery, and the results of emancipation in the West Indies, were discussed. And, although they were opposed to the act of emancipation, yet from their own admissions it was evident that all classes were benefited by the change, and would be still more so, as the former claimant of property in his fellow-man was willing to recognise in those he had held in slavery, the full enjoyment of their freedom.
