Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Substance of the Proceedings in the House of Commons on Thursday, July 25, 1822: On the Occasion of Two Addresses to His Majesty Mr. Wilberforce rose, and spoke to the following effect. - Sir - It will probably be remembered, that some time ago I moved an Address to the Crown, earnestly entreating his Majesty to renew those strenuous endeavours which his Ministers had been already exerting, to prevail on several of the great powers of Europe, v.ho had solemnly stipulated that they would co-operate with us in abolishing the Slave Trade, to fulfil the sacred engagements they had contracted. My present motion may not unnaturally be deemed to be a sort of supplement to the former, or at least to arise out of it; for it is the object of my present Address, to beseech his Majesty´s Ministers to take effectual measures, without delay, for preventing, in a great colony which we have recently begun to establish, the extension of slavery, in circumstances also in which a trade in Slaves would be the infallible and no distant consequence. It can scarcely be necessary for me to suggest how strongly we are urged to forbear from every the very smallest approximation to the criminal practices, with the continuance of which we are reproaching our neighbours.
