Excerpt from Report From the Select Committee of the House of Lords, Appointed to Consider the Best Means Which Great Britain Can Adopt for the Final Extinction of the African Slave Trade: And to Report Thereon to the House; Together With the Minutes of Evidence, and an Appendix and Index Thereto; Session 1849
That the Committee have met, and considered the Subject Matter referred to them, and have come to the following Resolutions; viz.
That the Evidence which has been given before this Committee has led them to the conclusion, that although the efforts of Great Britain have not suppressed the Slave Trade, and although it is doubtful whether the number of Slaves exported during the last two years is not greater than in some preceding years, that upon the whole a large reduction of the Trade has been effected, and its probable increase has been prevented.
