Publisher's Synopsis
New Reasons For Abolishing The Slave Trade: Being The Last Section Of A Larger Work, Now First Published, Entitled The Dangers Of The Country is a book written by James Stephen and originally published in 1807. The book is a passionate argument for the abolition of the slave trade, and is considered one of the most important works on the subject from the early 19th century.The book is divided into several sections, with the last section focusing specifically on the reasons why the slave trade should be abolished. Stephen argues that the slave trade is morally wrong, economically inefficient, and politically dangerous. He also argues that the slave trade is a threat to the stability of the British Empire, and that it is in the best interests of the country to abolish it.Throughout the book, Stephen draws on his own experiences as a lawyer and advocate for the abolition of the slave trade. He provides detailed accounts of the atrocities committed against slaves, and argues that the slave trade is a violation of human rights. He also provides evidence to support his claims that the slave trade is economically inefficient, and that it is a drain on the resources of the British Empire.Overall, New Reasons For Abolishing The Slave Trade is a powerful and persuasive argument for the abolition of one of the most heinous practices in human history. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of the abolition movement, and for anyone who wants to understand the moral and economic arguments against the slave trade.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
