THE GENTLEMAN'S MAGAZINE, London, England, February, 1807
* Shades of the movie "Amazing Grace"
* William Wilberforce on abolishing the slave trade
Inside this issue is a report from history recently shown on the big screen. There is a lengthy letter concerning slavery titled: "On the proposed Abolition of the Slave Trade", which begins: "The abolition of the Slave Trade, if it should be happily effected, will do immortal honour to the government. The slave trade is pernicious in a religious, commercial, and political view. In a religious view it is utterly indefensible..." with much, much more taking one-third of one page, the entirety of another page, and a bit on yet a third pg.
Only portions are shown in the photos below.
This controversial act to abolish the slave trade in England, championed by William Wilberforce, would finally be passed by Parliament in March, 1807.
Also included in this issue are the Obituary of the Corsican leader Pascal Paoli and nearly two pages on the recapture of Buenos Ayres.
Fine and very timely content on the slave trade. Complete in 92 pgs., measures about 5 by 8 inches, full title/index page, generally in nice condition.
