Publisher's Synopsis
The book ""Report Of A Committee Of The House Of Commons On The Extinction Of Slavery"" is a historical document that provides a detailed account of the efforts made by the British government to abolish slavery in the early 19th century. The report was compiled by a select committee of the House of Commons, which was tasked with investigating the issue of slavery and making recommendations for its abolition.The book covers a wide range of topics related to slavery, including the history of the slave trade, the conditions faced by slaves, and the economic and social impact of slavery on British colonies. It also includes a detailed analysis of the various methods used by the government to combat slavery, including the use of naval patrols to intercept slave ships and the establishment of treaties with other countries to prevent the trade.The report is notable for its frank and often critical assessment of the British government's role in the slave trade. It highlights the hypocrisy of a nation that professed to be a champion of freedom and democracy while simultaneously profiting from the enslavement of millions of people.Overall, ""Report Of A Committee Of The House Of Commons On The Extinction Of Slavery"" is a valuable historical document that provides insight into the complex and often contentious process of ending one of the most egregious violations of human rights in history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
