2025BIBHB0116651182025. Hardcover. New. About The Book: The Law and Custom of Slavery in British India by William Adam is a detailed and critical examination of slavery practices under British colonial rule in India. Published in 1840 the work explores the legal social and cultural dimensions of slavery documenting how British laws often upheld or ignored the existence of bondage despite official claims of abolition. Drawing from court cases legal codes and personal observations Adam exposes the contradictions in colonial policy and advocates for genuine reform. His work stands as an early and powerful condemnation of institutionalized injustice and a call for the ethical treatment and emancipation of enslaved people. About The Author: William Adam 1796�1881 was a Scottish clergyman missionary and abolitionist who became deeply involved in Indian religious and educational reform. Inspired by Thomas Chalmers he studied at Bristol and Glasgow before going to India in 1818. Fluent in Sanskrit and Bengali Adam collaborated with reformer Ram Mohan Roy on translating the New Testament. However theological doubts led him to leave the Baptist mission. He co-founded the Calcutta Unitarian Society which eventually merged into the Brahmo Samaj movement. In 1830 Adam was appointed by the British colonial government to conduct a pioneering survey of native education in Bengal.
