Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Arguments in Support of the Proposed Bill for the Registration of Slaves in the West Indian Colonies: Being a Reply to the Work of Mr. Chalmers The writer of the following pages has happily developed and exposed to public notice the efforts of a party, through the medium of their avowed advocate and organ, to rivet and perpetuate the chains that gall the persons of a large portion of his Majesty´s subjects in the West Indies. It is, therefore, only a mere act of justice to the cause, which, with its advocates, has been so shamefully calumniated, and in which the writer has produced so able and masterly a disquisition, to give it an extended diffusion throughout the country. The friends of the African race, from the commencement of their endeavours (now more than thirty years ago) to alleviate the miseries, the indescribable miseries, of that unhappy people, have never lost sight of the real interests of those of their fellow-subjects to whom the laws of the country have conceded the power of retaining their fellow men in slavery. They are as well convinced, as the holders of slaves themselves, that the premature emancipation of a class of beings, depressed and degraded as the slaves are below the par of human nature, would not only most seriously affect their employers, but would be fraught with incalculable injury to the individuals under such moral and intellectual privations.
