Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Anti-Slavery Monthly Reporter, Vol. 1: Commencing June 1825, and Ending May 1827 The Committee of the "London Society for the Mitigation and gradual Abolition of Slavery throughout the British Dominions," have felt, in common with their friends in all parts of the kingdom, the want of a regular medium of communication concerning the progress of the work in which they are engaged. To this want, probably, are to be attributed the misconceptions which have occasionally been formed respecting the design and objects of the Society, but more frequently respecting the means which are deemed by the Committee most desirable to be employed. With a view to supply this deficiency, the Committee propose to publish Monthly a sheet of the size of the present, which shall contain extracts from their correspondence, and such other intelligence relating to the purposes of their institution, as their acquaintance with the subject may enable them to furnish. The publication to be named the u Anti-Slavery Monthly Reporter,99 will be ready for delivery on the last day of every month. Copies will be forwarded, at the request of any Anti-Slavery Society, at the rate of four shillings per hundred, provided the order for them be received within the month immediately following the date of each Number. It is requested that all persons wishing to receive a regular supply, will make application to the Secretary, at the Society´s office, No. IS, Alderman bury, and mention the conveyance by which they may be most conveniently sent They might in many cases be sent at very little expense, enclosed in booksellers´ parcels, or along with the Monthly Publications of the various religious or charitable Societies; permission to that effect being obtained from the country booksellers or others to whom the parcels are addressed. It is further earnestly recommended by the Committee to all the friends of Negro improvement, to promote the circulation of the intelligence contained in the "Anti-Slavery Reporter," by lending their own copies, or encouraging others to purchase at the Depots of the several Societies, The Committee anticipate much benefit from the proposed publication, provided it be encouraged, as they trust it will be, by their friends throughout the country. In particular they calculate upon a large accession of strength to their cause from numerous and influential classes of the community, - not yet sufficiently informed respecting the objects and proceedings of the Society, but who need only to be fully assured that any undertaking which challenges their support, is on the aide of justice and humanity, and unexceptionably prosecuted, in order cordially and effectually to espouse it. Such an undertaking the Committee believe theirs to be; and they confidently submit it, together with all their measures, to be canvassed by their countrymen of the United Kingdom. The present measure is adopted at the request of several of their correspondents, and with their own full concurrence in its expediency.
