of the Slave Trade, 1789-91, four numbers, in i vol, 8vo, No. i wants title, name 



nit off top margin <>J first leaf, margins of 2 leaves slightly defective, half calf , 2 as 



In 1788 Pitt moved that the House of Commons should early in the next session take the subject 



of the Slave Trade into consideration. Wilberforce's first motion for a committee of the whole 

 House upon the question was made 19 March, 1789, and this committee proceeded to business 

 on 12 May in the same year, and evidence was taken all through 1790 and 1791. The present 

 work contains the result of their labours and is probably the most valuable account extant of all 

 relating to the subject containing as it does full details of the methods of obtaining slaves, their 

 treatment, punishments, cruelties practised upon them, etc., both on board ship and on the 

 plantations in the West Indies, Carolina, Georgia, Virginia, Maryland, etc., from the deposi- 

 tions of Admirals, Captains, sailors, medical men, planters and others connected in any way 

 with the trade, the whole forming a mass of information taken from the personal knowledge of 

 the witnesses covering a period extending from 1739 to the date of the inquiry. The narratives 

 respecting Jamaica, Grenada, St. Kitts and Nevis are particularly full and interesting.
