Thus have we profited by our superior advantages, by the favour of God, by the doctrines and example of a meek and lowly Saviour.

This gentleman had resided nineteen years in the island of St.Christopher, where he had observed the treatment of the slaves, and had studied the laws relating to them.

On his return to England, yielding to his own feelings of duty and the solicitations of some amiable friends, he published a work, which he called An Essay on the Treatment and Conversion of the African Slaves in the British Sugar Colonies.

After having given an account of the relative situation of master and slave in various parts of the world, he explained the low and degrading situation which the Africans held in society in our own islands.
