Excerpt from Abolition of the African Slave-Trade, by the British Parliament, Vol. 2 of 2 These tables contained together one hundred and forty-hrs questions. My idea was. That they should be printed on a small sheet of paper, which should be folded up in seven or eight leaves, of the length and breadth of a small almanac, and then be sent in franks to our dif forent correspondents, These, when they had them, might examine persons capable of giving evidence, who might live in their neighbourhoods or fall in their way, and return us their examina tions by letter. The committee having approved and printed the tables of questions, I began my tour. Of this tour I shall not give the reader any very particular account. I shall mention only those things which are most worthy of his notice in it. At Poole, in Dorsetshire, I laid the foun dation of a committee, to act in harmony with that of London for the promotion of the cause.

To Christianity alone we are indebted for the new and sublime spectacle of seeing men going beyond the bounds of individual usefulness to each other - of seeing them associate for the extirpation Of private and public misery - and of seeing them carry their charity, as a united brotherhood, into distant lands And in this wider field of benevolence it would be unjust not to confess, that no country has shone with more true lustre than our own, there being scarcely any case of acknowledged affliction, for which some Of her Christian children have not united in an attempt to provide relief.

Book Description
Thomas Clarkson's book "The History Of The Rise, Progress, And Accomplishment Of The Abolition Of The African Slave Trade By The British Parliament" (1808), Vol. I is an important work in the history of the abolition of the African slave trade. The book chronicles the efforts of British abolitionists, including Clarkson himself, to bring an end to the brutal and inhumane practice of buying and selling human beings. The first volume covers the period from the inception of the abolitionist movement in the late 18th century to the passing of the Slave Trade Act of 1807. It details the various campaigns, petitions, and debates that took place in Parliament and in the wider public sphere, as well as the many obstacles and setbacks that had to be overcome before the abolitionist cause could triumph. The book is not only an important historical record of the struggle for abolition but also a powerful testament to the courage and determination of those who fought against one of the greatest evils of their time. It remains a must-read for anyone interested in the history of slavery, abolitionism, and human rights.
