ABSTRACT

Having confined himself wholly to the consideration of the commerce, the author shall proceeds to the consideration of the slavery that is founded upon it. As this slavery will he conspicuous in the treatment which the unfortunate Africans uniformly undergo, when they are put into the hands of the receivers, he describes the manner in which they are accustomed to be used from this period. These are instances of the different effects, which the situation of the Africans, while on board the ships of the receivers, and in fight of their native shore, has upon them. To enumerate the many, that might be yet adduced of the same kind, would be to no purpose, as they would not convince the reader, more than he mull already be convinced, of their miserable state.
