The initial meeting of the Society was presided over by Prince Albert and included many prominent figures of the day. Included in this volume are the speeches delivered at that meeting, including those by Prince Albert, the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Bishop of Winchester, Dr. Lushington, the Archdeacon Wilberforce, and many others. The speakers touch on the history of anti-slavery efforts, the horrors of the slave trade, the importance of Christianity and education in Africa, and the need for a preventive policy to end the trade. The book provides a valuable historical record of the efforts to end the transatlantic slave trade and sheds light on the complex social and political issues surrounding this important topic.
