 of Africans from their native country, to labor as slaves 

 in their plantations, could not have intended and really

 power in wealth and navigation, which results from 

 the cultivation of the Tropical countries for commo- 

 dities of great bulk, particularly sugar, to be con- 

 sumed at considerable maritime distance from the 

 place of growth. It could not consist with the humane 

 purpose of the abolition of the British Trade in 

 Slaves, and was not in fact intended, that the care of the 

 unhappy African, upon the middle passage, should sim-

 the provisions of the British Legislature and the eye of the 

 British Government, to Foreign Nations. But, notwith- 

 standing the efforts which have been made by the British 

 Government, to induce other countries to renounce this 

 trade, and the extent to which it actually has been re- 

 nounced by I'oreign Nations, the transport of Africans 

 from their native country, for the cultivation of the Western 

 Tropical regions, is a practice still prevailing in great and 

 dreadful energy.
