Not illustrated. 1900 edition. Excerpt: ... chapter vi missionary difficulties The wearisome period of detention was now over, and the Calypso sailed from Portsmouth on the 23rd of February 1796. Macaulay had looked forward with interest to associating with the band of Missionaries who were placed under his care; but companionship on a sea-voyage is said to be the safest existing criterion of character, and on this occasion the rule held good. He had been harassed, even before quitting Portsmouth, by their constant disputes among themselves and with the other passengers, but now, on better acquaintance with their dispositions, he began to feel serious anxiety as to the results of the.expedition. They had been chosen by Dr. Coke, who professed to have exercised great caution in the selection, and whose business in life consisted in the appointment and superintendence of the foreign Missions of the Wesleyan Methodists. He had incurred considerable personal danger in America by the open profession he made of his detestation of slavery; and his high reputation had induced the Directors to confide entirely in his discretion, and to leave the whole responsibility of choosing the Missionaries to him.

Book Description
A prominent British anti-slavery campaigner, Zachary Macaulay devoted forty years of exhaustive research to combating what he called a “foul stain on the nation,” and his work was instrumental in laying the foundation for the abolition of slavery throughout the British Empire. With a focus on his unswerving commitment to the cause, this biography—the first of its kind—examines Macaulay's life and the people and events that influenced it. Zachary Macaulay 1768–1838 illustrates the man behind the writings—his passions and his prejudices, his shyness and steely resolve, and, above all, his willingness to work unremittingly in the background, generating the power to drive the engine of anti-slavery to victory.
