Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Short Review of the Slave Trade and Slavery: With Considerations on the Benefit Which Would Arise From Cultivating Tropical Productions by Free Labour
The following pages were compiled about the close of the year 1825. Since that period the State of Slavery in our Colonies has again been brought under discussion in Parliament; but nothing which has since occurred, either there or elsewhere, has tended in the smallest degree to weaken, in the minds of many Friends to the Abolition of Slavery, the settled conviction they before entertained of the pa, ramonnt importance of that view of the question which it is the main object of the present publication to elucidate. Although some of the observations which follow may have a more particular reference to the above period, yet it is believed that the greater part will be equally applicable to the present.
