An African was seen, (as in the figure[A],) in chains in a supplicating posture, kneeling with one knee upon the ground, and with both his hands lifted up to Heaven, and round the seal was observed the following motto, as if he was uttering the words himself--"Am I not a Man and a Brother ?" The design having been approved of, a seal was ordered to be engraved from it.

I may mention here, that this seal, simple as the design was, was made to contribute largely, as will be shown in its proper place, towards turning the attention of our countrymen to the case of the injured Africans, and of procuring a warm interest in their favour.
[Footnote A: The figure is rather larger than that in the seal.] On the thirtieth of October several letters were read; one of these was from Brissot and Claviere conjointly.

In this they acknowledged the satisfaction they had received on being considered as associates in the humane work of the abolition of the Slave-trade, and correspondents in France for the promotion of it.

They declared it to be their intention to attempt the establishment of a commitee there on the same principles as that in England: but, in consequence of the different constitutions of the two governments, they gave the commitee reason to suppose that their proceedings must be different, as well as slower than those in England, for the same object.
A second letter was read from Mr.John Wesley.

He said that he had now read the publications, which the commitee had sent him, and that he took, if possible, a still deeper interest in their cause.
