Excerpt from Analysis of the Report of a Committee: Of the House of Commons on the Extinction of Slavery With Notes by the Editor

The minutes of evidence extend to 655 closely printed folio pages, and are contained in a volume ordered to be printed on the llth of August, 1832, and distinguished by the number 7 21. Of this immense mass it shall now be our endeavour to convey to the public, and to our readers, a clear and faithful analysis. It may be convenient, however, to preface that analysis by a brief account of the witnesses examined on this occasion, and Of their Opportunities of acquiring a competent knowledge of the subject on which they were called to give their testimony.
