Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Comparison of American and British Slavery Well, we have stated some reasons for not opposing the institutions of our sister States, but we know of no such reasons for not opposing British Slavery. We know of no compact by which we are bound to support British institutions, nor do the English people, apparently, feel bound to support ours. Indeed, just the contrary seems to be the case. We shall go on, therefore, with our remarks, and enquire, in the first place, who are the British Slaves, and then Whether British Slavery really is Slavery, according to the universally received dehui tions of the term. In order to get at a proper reply to the question, Who are the British Slaves 3 it is well, in the first place, to inquire who are the British freemen, of whom the world hears so much? We remember seeing an article in Blackwood's Magazine, some time since. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
