The Slave Trade Debate by John Pinfold
At the height of the debate about the slave trade and its abolition in the 1780s and 90s, each side issued pamphlets in support of its position. This valuable source-book reproduces a selection of representative pamphlets encompassing the arguments for and against. Issues discussed include humanitarianism and the Rights of Man.
"On the 200th anniversary of the act of the British Parliament abolishing the slave trade, Oxford University's Bodleian Library has reprinted 14 pamphlets from its collection of abolition materials. . . Of particular interest are the two pamphlets taking contradictory positions based on biblical evidence. . . . Recommended."—R. T. Brown, Choice
