A propos de cet article

8vo. 32 pp. Contemporary plain wrappers. A key record of the legacy of William Pitt the Younger (1759-1806), the youngest Prime Minister of Great Britain, whose long tenure can be defined by the successes and failures of British policy on the path towards abolition and emancipation. Pitt was himself friends with the most notable abolitionist in his parliament, William Wilberforce (1759-1833), but Wilberforce himself was commonly a critic of Pitt's policies. Indeed, abolition would be enshrined in British law, but not until in 1807, a year after Pitt's death. Nevertheless, Pitt made many contributions to the work of abolition. - The focus of Pitt's speech was a 1792 slave trade Act which passed in the Commons but not the House of Lords.
