whole nations, nay, whole continents of men,
should be devoted to do the drudgery of life for others, be dragged away
from their attachments of relations and societies, and be made to serve

Sir Hans Sloane, in the introduction to his natural history of Jamaica,

allowed them to manure their ground. This, with a few herrings, or other
salt fish, is what is given for their support. Their allowance for

year. And in the more northern colonies, where the piercing westerly
winds are long and sensibly felt, these poor Africans suffer much for
want of sufficient cloathing; indeed some have none till they are able
