Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Speech of George Thompson, Esq., M. P : Delivered at the Anti-Slavery Meeting, Broadmead, Bristol, September 4th, 1851 A Public Meeting was held on Thursday, September 4, at the public rooms, Broadmead, for the purpose of hearing addresses on the subject of Slavery from Mr. Geo. Thompson, M.P., who has lately returned from a visit to America, and from the Rev. Edward Mathews, whose recent lynching in that land for his exertions in the abolition cause, must still be fresh in the memories of our readers. The subject of Slavery is just now exciting a good deal of interest in this city, in consequence of the operation of the Fugitive Slave Law, the workings of which were a short time ago fully explained by Mr. W. Wells Brown, and Mr. Wm. Craft, both of them fugitive slaves. Bristol, we are happy to say, has taken an active part in the Anti-Slavery movement, and the meeting on Thursday evening showed that the influence of the preceding meetings has not been lost. The room was filled to overflowing, and the platform was crowded with ladies and gentlemen. Among the former were some distinguished visitors from America - Mrs. Maria Weston Chapman, her sisters, Miss and Miss Emma Weston, (who have been, from its commencement, identified with the Abolition Movement, originated by Mr. Garrison) Mrs. Chapman´s two daughters, many of the Committee of the "Bristol and Clifton Ladies Anti-Slavery Society," (Mrs, Armstrong, Mrs. Emery, Miss Estlin, Miss Mathews, Mrs. Stephens, Mrs. Alfred Thomas, Mrs. Waterman), Revs. G. Armstrong, M.A., Edwin Chapman, William James Edward Mathews, Richard Morris; Messrs. Handel Cossham, (Wicwar), Estlin, W. Farmer, (of London), J. C. Nield, W. Sampson, Geo. Thompson, M.P., R. D. Webb, (of Dublin), Stewart Williamson, &c. The chair was occupied by R. Charleton, Esq. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
