Excerpt from Abstract of the Report of the Lords Committees on the Condition and Treatment of the Colonial Slaves: And of the Evidence Taken by Them on That Subject; With Notes by the Editor
The Committee of the House of Lords commenced its sittings on the 13th May, and closed them on the 9th August, 1832.
The following 25 Peers were named upon it: - The Archbishop of Canterbury, and the Bishops of London and of Lichfield and Coventry; the Dukes of Buckingham and Richmond; the Marquises of Sligo and Westminster; Earls Harewood, Radnor, Selkirk, and Bathurst; Viscounts Goderich, St. Vincent, Combermere, and Beresford; and Lords Seaford, Ellenborough, Suffield, Holland, Howard de Walden, Redesdale, Colville, Napier, Auckland, and Bexley. Of these, the 10 noblemen distinguished by an asterisk are known to be either slave-holders or the very near relatives of those who are. The three prelates, together with the Marquis of Westminster, Earl Bathurst, Viscount Goderich, and Lord Bexley, it is reported, took no part in the Committee. The Duke of Richmond occupied the chair; and of the remaining seven not one was recognized as a decided friend to anti-slavery principles, excepting Lord Suffield; the views of the other six being, to say the least, doubtful.
It was before a Committee thus constituted, as respected at least its practical efficiency, that this great question came on for investigation. Can any man wonder that the friends of the Negro regarded its appointment with some degree of apprehension and even dismay? That their fears have been agreeably disappointed by the result, they must attribute to causes wholly independent of the constitution of the Committee, and which, under the overruling providence of God, are to be traced rather to the happy ignorance prevailing, among most of the noble slave-holders who attended the Committee, of the real nature of the system they were so eager to maintain, than to any skill they possessed either to veil its deformities or to give prominence to any, if any there were, of its inherent claims to support.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a detailed summary of the proceedings of the 1832 House of Lords Select Committee that was tasked with examining the state of slavery in British colonies and the impact of the 1807 abolition of the slave trade. The book focuses on the evidence provided by 25 peers and other witnesses, both pro- and anti-slavery, many of whom had extensive first-hand experience with West Indian colonies. The author provides an in-depth look at the arguments and counterarguments of the witnesses, highlighting the complex and often contradictory perspectives on the nature of slavery and the possibilities for its reform or abolition. Key themes explored in the evidence include the physical and psychological well-being of slaves, the economic impact of slavery, the legal rights and protections of slaves, and the feasibility of emancipation. The author's analysis of the evidence sheds light on the deep divisions within British society over the issue of slavery and the challenges faced by reformers seeking to end this inhumane practice.
