Descrizione libro Burgundy Cloth. Condizione: Near Fine (NEAR NEW). Condizione sovraccoperta: NEAR FINE (NEAR NEW). 8 Illustrations (illustratore). Reprint of the 1941 First Edition. By the last half of the 18th century Liverpool had ousted London and Bristol from the profitable trade in slaves. This became the time when Liverpool merchants made fortunes and built fine houses and new public buildings. The ships became swifter and larger. The slave traders were shocked when their trade began to be branded as cruel, and plausible justifications were proclaimed in Parliament. But the agitation once started would not be silenced, and the author sympathetically describes the gradual triumph of the Abolitionists with the character studies of the leading figures from both sides of the controversy. Liverpool herself was to make many honourable contributions to the ranks of the reformers. Drawing upon contemporary records and letters, many of them hitherto unpublished, the author gives a graphic description of the ships overcrowded with human cargo, the mutinies of slaves and seamen, and the horrors of the notorious middle passage. Both the style and illustrations vividly portray the atmosphere of life at the turn of the 18th-century and this reprint will be welcomed both by the general reader, and the historian. 332pp including index Cass Slavery Series No. 7.THE BEST you could wish for for, A LOVELY FINE (AS NEW) Copy .This book will be POSTED AT OUR STANDARD RATES FULLY INSURED (UK) ONLY .
