A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Colonies, the Committee of the London A nti-S lavery Society have thought it desirable to publish the following statement. The Committee having at the passing of the Imperial A ct of A bolition, protested against the apprenticeship system as a needless postponement of the acknowledged rights of the negroes, and a means of extortion and oppression detrimental to the true interests of all parties; and having subsequently pledged themselves to spare no prudent exertions, and to leave no constitutional means untried, until the last vestiges of slavery shall have merged in perfect and unconditional freedom, conceived themselves bound by their protest and pledge, not only to watch closely the progress of that pernicious system, but likewise to facilitate public inquiry into the manner in which the intentions of the Imperial A ct had been carried into effect by Colonial Legislatures, A uthorities, and Planters, and likewise by the Home Government. In pursuing that course, they were led to hope, that the exposure of much fraud in the concoction, and of great oppression in the execution of the Colonial laws on the one hand, and of meritorious and unexampled endurance on the other, iniglit at length rcniovo all scruples from the minds of those, who hesitated on the score of justice to the planter, to do substantial justice to the negroes. However unsatisfactory the practical result of tliis inquiry has been, uj) to the present time, the A nti-S lavery Committee can not attril)uto Vide Memorial to Lord Glcnelg, August 14lli, 1835.
