Lot 1873 | Benezet, A.
Benezet, A.
Some historical account of Guinea, its situation, produce, and the general disposition of its inhabitants. With an inquiry into the rise and progress of the slave trade, its nature, and lamentable effects. A new edition. London, J.Phillips 1788. XV, 131 S. Spät. Pbd. mit Rsch. (Tls. schwach fleckig).
Sabin 4689. BBKL XXIX, Sp. 146-157. Nicht bei Gay. - Erstmals 1771 in Philadelphia erschienen. - Anthony Benezet (1713-1784) war einer der ersten amerikanischen Abolitionisten. In Philadelphia gelang es ihm, die Quäker davon zu überzeugen, dass Sklavenhaltung unvereinbar mit dem christlichen Glauben sei. Er wollte ein Verbot der Sklaverei nicht nur auf den britischen Inseln, sondern auch für die Kolonien, die späteren Vereinigten Staaten erwirken. Durch seine Publikationen erregte er weltweites Aufsehen, dies nicht zuletzt deshalb, weil er erstmals über die Brutalität bei Transport etc. schonungslos detailliert berichtete: (s. Abschnitt V: "Violantly carry off some Negroes"). Ebenso war er Gründer der ersten Mädchenschule auf dem amerikanischen Kontinent und der Negro School in Philadelphia. - Unbeschn., tls. fleckig. Vortitel mit hs. Besitzverm., Titel recto gestempelt.
