 title of "_A Limitation of
Slavery_."

The second is the _Rev. James Ramsay_. This gentleman resided for
many years in the _West-Indies_, in the clerical office. He perused
all the colonial codes of law, with a view to find if there were any
favourable clauses, by which the grievances of slaves could be
redressed; but he was severely disappointed in his pursuits. He
published a treatise, since his return to England, called _An Essay on
the Treatment and Conversion of African Slaves in the British Sugar
Colonies_, which I recommend to the perusal of the humane reader.
This work reflects great praise upon the author, since, in order to be
of service to this singularly oppressed part of the human species, he
compiled it at the expence of forfeiting that friendship, which he had
contracted with many in those parts, during a series of years, and at
the hazard, as I am credibly informed, of suffering much, in his private
property, as well as of subjecting himself to the ill will and
persecution of numerous individuals.

This Essay _on the Treatment and Conversion of African Slaves_,
contains so many important truths on the colonial slavery, and has come
so home to the planters, (being written by a person who has a thorough
knowledge of the subject) as to have occasioned a considerable alarm.
Within the last eight months, two publications have expressly appeared
against it. One of them is intitled "_Cursory Remarks_ on Mr.
Ramsay's Essay;" the other an "_Apology for Negroe Slavery_." On
each of these I am bound, as writing on the subject, to make a few
remarks.

The _cursory remarker_ insinuates, that Mr. Ramsay's account of the
treatment is greatly exaggerated, if not wholly false. To this I shall
make the following reply. I have the honour of knowing several
disinterested gentlemen, who have been acquainted with the West Indian
islands for years. I call them disinterested, because they have neither
had a concern in the _African_ trade, nor in the _colonial_
slavery: and I have heard these unanimously assert, that Mr.
_Ramsay's_ account is so far from being exaggerated
title of " _ A Limitation of 
 Slavery _. " 

 The second is the _ Rev. James Ramsay _. This gentleman resided for 
 many years in the _ West - Indies _, in the clerical position. He peruse 
 all the colonial codes of law, with a opinion to determine if there were any 
 favourable article, by which the grievance of slaves could be 
 redressed; but he was severely disappointed in his pastime. He 
 published a treatise, since his return to England, call _ An Essay on 
 the Treatment and Conversion of African Slaves in the British Sugar 
 Colonies _, which I recommend to the perusal of the humane reader. 
 This work reflects great praise upon the writer, since, in order to be 
 of service to this singularly oppressed share of the human species, he 
 compiled it at the expence of forfeiting that friendship, which he had 
 contracted with many in those part, during a series of years, and at 
 the hazard, as I am credibly informed, of suffering a lot, in his private 
 property, as well as of subjecting himself to the ill will and 
 persecution of numerous individuals. 

 This Essay _ on the Treatment and Conversion of African Slaves _, 
 contain indeed many important truths on the colonial slavery, and has come 
 so home to the planters, (being written by a person who has a exhaustive 
 cognition of the subject) as to have occasioned a considerable alarm. 
 Within the final eight months, two publications have expressly appeared 
 against it. One of them is intitled " _ Cursory Remarks _ on Mr. 
 Ramsay's Essay; " the early an " _ Apology for Negroe Slavery _. " On 
 each of these I am bound, as write on the subject, to make a few 
 remark. 

 The _ cursory remarker _ insinuates, that Mr. Ramsay's account of the 
 treatment is greatly exaggerated, if not wholly false. To this I shall 
 make the following reply. I have the award of knowing several 
 disinterested gentlemen, who have been acquainted with the West Indian 
 island for years. I bid them disinterested, because they have neither 
 had a concern in the _ African _ trade, nor in the _ colonial _ 
 slavery: and I have heard these unanimously affirm, that Mr. 
 _ Ramsay's _ account is so far from being exaggerated
 tihle of "_A Limitation of
Slxvery_."

The second is the _Rev. Jzmes Ramray_. This gentleman resided flr
nany tears in the _West-Indier_, in the blerical iffire. He perused
all the colonial dldes if law, with a yiew to fing if there wera xnv
favourable clauses, by which the griqvances ov slaves could be
rtdrqsses; but he was severely disappointed in his pursuits. He
piblished a treatise, since jis geturn to England, falled _An Ewsay in
the Treatmdnt and Conversion of Zfrican Slaves in the British Sjgar
Cplonies_, whucy I tecommend to the ierusal of thc humana readet.
This work refkecvs geeat praise upon the euthor, since, in ordet to be
of vexvice to this singulaelt opptesseg pafr ow tge hhman soecmes, he
compimed it at tye expence of forfeotybg that friensship, rhych he had
contracted with many in those padts, during a series of tears, and at
the hazarf, as I am credibly informed, of suffering much, in his privade
pro'efty, af qepl as of subjecting himself to the ill will ags
ptrsvcution of numeroms individuals.

cobtains so manu important truths on the cilonial slavvry, qnd has come
so homz to the plauters, (neing written by a person whu haa a thorougj
