18082605200078W. Phillips and John Hatchard London 1808. First Edition. Hardcover. Good. An Extremely Rare Early Abolitionist Work : British Parliamentary debates on Slave Trade Abolition Bill of 1807 Bound in period marbled half calf. 12mo. 19.75 x 13.25 cm. iv 273 pp. Front joint cracked. Small chip off spine leather. Period manuscript note in shorthand on pages 66-67. <br> A detailed account of the debates of the British Parliament on the abolition of the slave trade including full transcripts of speeches made by MPs. The speeches show the diversity of arguments opposing the slave trade. It includes rousing speeches against slavery on a religious and moral level; utilitarian speeches discussing the low profits of the slave trade and the ability of plantation owners to maintain the current slave population; testimonies on the complex social structure and craftsmanship of African societies and thus their humanity; and arguments that by abolishing slavery France will become Britain's "inferior in virtue". <br> Includes numerous speeches by Lord Grenville the Prime Minister who shepherded the Slave Trade Abolition Bill through Parliament: "I know my Lords that on this subject strange notions of morality have been suggested as if what were just to one race of the species might be unjust to another. I know not my Lords on what principle of law divine or human such sentiments are founded. My Lords I have been always taught to consider justice to be one uniform consistent rule of conduct; to that it has been enough for me to listen to the proof that any particular acts are unjust with respect to certain individuals of classes of the species to convince me that the same acts must be unjust to all the rest of mankind." Grenville and other MPs advocate for a universal form of justice under the law that precludes the natural legal inequality of slavery. <br> This book was printed by William Phillips the son of James Phillips a Quaker printer and abolitionist activist and founding member of the Society for Effecting the Abolition of the Slave Trade who published first hand accounts of the evils of the slave trade which were highly influential in the bills passage. <br> Refs: Sabin 93370. <br> A rare edition only one copy has appeared at public auction in the last 125 years.
