Edition Notes
"Containing: 1. Remarks on an opinion given in the year 1729, by the (then) attorney general and solicitor general concerning the case of slaves in Great Britain; 2. The answer to an objection, which has been made to the foregoing remarks; 3. An examination of the advantages and disadvantges of tolerating slavery in England. The latter are illustrated by some remarks on the spirit of the plantation laws, occasionally introduced in notes, which demonstrate the cruel oppression not only of slaves, but of free negroes, mulattoes, and Indians, and even of Christian white servants in the British colonies; 4. Some remarks on the ancient villenage, shewing that the obsolete laws and customs, which favoured that horrid oppression, cannot justify the admission of the modern West Indian slavery into this kingdom, nor the least claim of property, or right of service, deducible therefrom."
