Book Description
Excerpt from The History of the Rise, Progress, and Accomplishment of the Abolition of the African Slave-Trade, by the British Parliament, Vol. 1 of 3 Christians, the African* Slave-trade appears to me to have occupied the foremost place. The abolition Of it, therefore, of which it has devolved upon me to write the history, should be accounted as one Of the greatest blessings, and, as such, should be one of the most copious sources Of our joy. Indeed I know of no evil, the removal Of which should excite in us a higher degree Of plea sure. For in considerations of this kind, are we not usually influenced by circumstances Are not our feelings usually affected according to the situ ation, or the magnitude, or the importance of these '3 Are they not more or less elevated as the evil unde. Our contemplation has been more or less produc tive Of misery, or more or less productive Of guilt? Are they not more or less elevated, again, as we have found it more or less considerable in extent Our sensations will undoubtedly be in proportion to such circumstances, or our joy to the appreciation or mensuration of the evil which has been removed. To value the blessing Of the abolition as we Ought, or to appreciate the joy and gratitude which we ought to feel concerning it, we must enter' a little into the circumstances Of the trade. Our statement, however, of these 'needs not be long. A few pages will do all that is necessary! A glance only into such a subject as this will be sufficient to affect the heart; to arouse our indignation and our pity; and to teach us the importance of the victory Obtained.

Book Description
Excerpt from The History of the Rise, Progress, and Accomplishment of the Abolition of the African Slave-Trade by the British Parliament, Vol. 1 of 2 Quently inculcated benevolence, we have no reason to conclude from any facts they have left us, that persons in their days did any thing more than occasionally relieve an un fortunate object, who might present himself before them, or that, however they might deplore the existence of public evils among them, they joined in associations for their suppression, or that they carried their cha rity, as bodies of men, into other kingdoms. 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.

Pages : 0
Book Description
The British country house has long been regarded as the jewel in the nation's heritage crown. But the country house is also an expression of wealth and power, and as scholars reconsider the nation's colonial past, new questions are being posed about these great houses and their links to Atlantic slavery.This book, authored by a range of academics and heritage professionals, grew out of a 2009 conference on 'Slavery and the British Country house: mapping the current research' organised by English Heritage in partnership with the University of the West of England, the National Trust and the Economic History Society. It asks what links might be established between the wealth derived from slavery and the British country house and what implications such links should have for the way such properties are represented to the public today.Lavishly illustrated and based on the latest scholarship, this wide-ranging and innovative volume provides in-depth examinations of individual houses, regional studies and critical reconsiderations of existing heritage sites, including two studies specially commissioned by English Heritage and one sponsored by the National Trust.
