Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Substance of the Debate: In the House of Commons, on the 15th May, 1823, on a Motion for the Mitigation and Gradual Abolition of Slavery Throughout the British Dominions It is thought right to prefix to the Substance of the Debate on Slavery a republication of the Prospectus and occasional Circular Letters of the "Society for mitigating and gradually abolishing the State of Slavery throughout the British Dominions." Prospectus of the Society. (published in March 1823.) Among the manifold evils to which man is liable, there is not perhaps one more extensively productive of wretchedness than personal slavery. Slavery may, without exaggeration, be described as inflicting on the unhappy subjects of it almost every injury which law, even in its rudest state, was intended to prevent. Is property an object of solicitude? The Slave generally speaking, can neither acquire nor securely enjoy it Is exemption from personal wrong indispensable to comfort? The Slave is liable to indignity and insult, to restraint and punishment, at the mere caprice of another.
