Notes On the Slave-Trade

This collection of speeches and essays by William Gore Ouseley is a powerful indictment of the international slave trade, which was still legal in many parts of the world during the early 19th century. Ouseley, who was a diplomat and politician as well as an abolitionist, presents a compelling moral argument against slavery, backed up by firsthand accounts of its brutal practices. His writing is passionate and persuasive, making this book an important historical artifact as well as a stirring piece of literature.
