THE GENTLEMAN'S MAGAZINE, London, February, 1807 Inside includes a report from history recently featured 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 more taking one-third of one page, the entirety of another, and a bit on yet a third page. Only portions are shown in the photos.
This controversial act to abolish the slave trade in England, championed by William Wilberforce, would finally be passed by Parliament in March, 1807.
Also within is the Obituary of the Corsican leader Pascal Paoli and nearly two pages on the recapture of "Buenos Ayres" [Aires].
Complete in 96 pages, 5 by 8 1/4 inches, full title/contents page, very nice condition.
