Description
London, England: Ellerton and Henderson, 1823. Three page document measuring 8 ½ x 13 ¼ inches. Folded with some small wrinkles at edges, else Near Fine.. A document produced by the Society for Mitigating and Gradually Abolishing the State of Slavery throughout the British Dominions, better known as the Anti-Slavery Society. The group was founded in London in 1823 by a group of politicians, philanthropists, and businessmen including William Wilberforce, Joseph Sturge, and Zachary Macaulay. The document discusses the horrors of enslavement—even unfavorably comparing the British colonies’ conditions with those in the US—and decries the fact that, after the 1807 Slave Trade Act, essentially nothing more had been done to put “an end to a condition of society which so grievously outrages every feeling of humanity”. We find a single copy of the Ellerton and Henderson edition in physical format listed in OCLC as accession number 83930673.

quarto, one page, on a folding letter sheet, plus stamp less address leaf, formerly folded, in good, clean, and legible condition. Jack writes his wife that he will be detained in Washington sometime, and excoriates his Whig colleagues: "My Dear Wife, I would have wrote you on Sunday agreeable to my promise but was very unwell… I have been in the House all day - & am about as well as usual I wrote Sidney last evening & least you might be uneasy – have concluded to give you assurance of my being very well – When we may adjourn I am not able to say – it may take place in a few days which I wish very much – yet the prospect is we may be detained for three weeks yet. We are at the mercy of the Whigs and have to submit to whatever course they may direct. Every democrat wishes an adjournment & would willingly vote the same to take place tomorrow. The Whigs have yet much wickedness to put in practice. The doings of this Congress will be distinguished for many acts of unholy & vile character – my only hope for the welfare of the country is that the next Congress will undo – whatever we may do - ….
