Publisher's Synopsis
""Remarks On The Evidence Delivered On The Petition Presented By The West-India Planters And Merchants, To The House Of Commons, On The 16th Of March 1775"" is a historical document written by an anonymous West-India Planter in 1777. This book provides a critical analysis of the evidence presented by West-India Planters and Merchants in their petition to the House of Commons in 1775. The petition was presented in response to the increasing pressure from abolitionists to end the slave trade and slavery in the British colonies. The anonymous author of this book argues that the evidence presented by the West-India Planters and Merchants was biased and unreliable, and that it did not accurately represent the conditions of slavery in the British colonies. The author also presents their own evidence to counter the claims made by the West-India Planters and Merchants. This book provides valuable insight into the debates surrounding the abolition of slavery and the slave trade in the late 18th century.As It Was Introduced At The Bar And Summed Up By Mr. Glover, So Far As The Same Respects Barbados And The Leeward Islands.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
