Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Considerations on Negro Slavery: With a Brief View of the Proceedings Relative to It in the British Parliament The following pages have been drawn up with the view of communicating a clear knowledge of the question respecting Negro Slavery, as it exists in the West Indies, to those who may not have had an opportunity of phrasing the numerous pamphlets that have been published on the subject. The Committee under whose direction this tract has been prepared, are very far from wishing to excite a temporary glow of feeling, by exaggerating the horrors of slavery, or by representing individual instances of cruelty as fair specimens of the usual conduct of West India planters towards their slaves. They look to the gradual and lasting operation of reason and information upon religious and liberal minds; and they have no doubt but that, when these have been allowed sufficient time to operate, a nation, which, like Scotland, has been taught to consider religion as the first, and freedom as the next blessing it has derived from the bounty of God, will rise as one man to declare, that it is neither consistent with the honour, the interest, nor the duty of the nation, to debar six hundred thousand of our fellow-subjects from any, the slightest participation in these blessings.
