Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is an anti-slavery work from the time of the slave trade that delineates the various forms of cruelty, injustice, and murder associated with the practice, in the context of the Christian faith. The author discusses Biblical scripture to illuminate the moral evil of slavery and the virtues of justice, mercy, and humility. The author argues that slavery is inherently unjust and evil and cannot be justified by political necessity. Drawing upon evidence from a study by Thomas Clarkson, the author highlights the immense loss of life among British seamen involved in the trade. The author advocates for the promotion of peace and civilization in Africa through the establishment of trade that prioritizes the well-being of the native population. The book features accounts of estates in the West Indies where the population of enslaved people has been maintained without the need for foreign supply, suggesting that humane treatment can alleviate the demand for the slave trade. The author concludes by emphasizing the need for legislative action to abolish slavery, highlighting the support for the cause from respected members of society, scholars, and members of both the established Church and Dissenting congregations.
