And this office of a sentinel Mr.Cowdroy performed with great vigilance; and when he afterwards left Chester for Manchester, to establish a paper there, he carried with him the same friendly disposition towards our cause.
My first introduction at Liverpool was to William Rathbone, a member of the religious society of the Quakers.

He was the same person who, before the formation of our committee, had procured me copies of several of the muster-rolls of the slave-vessels belonging to that port, so that, though we were not personally known, yet we were not strangers to each other.

Isaac Hadwen, a respectable member of the same society, was the person whom I saw next.

I had been introduced to him, previously to my journey, when he was at London, at the yearly meeting of the Quakers, so that no letter to him was necessary.

As Mr.Roscoe had generally given the profits of _The Wrongs of Africa_ to our committee, I made no scruple of calling upon him.
