Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Official Letter From the Commissioners of Correspondence, of the Bahama Islands, to George Chalmers, Esq.: Colonial Agent; Concerning the Proposed Abolition of Slavery in the West Indies Office of Correspondence, New Providence, 29th July, 1823. Sir, We learn, with extreme anxiety, from different quarters concurring accounts of an intention to bring before Parliament without delay, some project for the total extinction of slavery in the British West Indies. The details of the intended measure have not as yet reached us, in any tangible shape; only some observations with which Mr. Wilberforce introduced a petition in the House of Commons, from the quakers; and a pamphlet, in the name of the same person, entitled, "An Appeal to the religion, justice, and humanity of the inhabitants of the British empire, in behalf of the negro slaves of the West Indies."
