Written as four public letters, this book condemns the intention by
the French to reinstate older slavery practices on its colonies in
the West Indies. James Stephen (1758 1832) was a lawyer who, after
moving to St Kitts with his family to earn a living, became a
supporter of the abolition movement. On his return to London in
1794, Stephen became involved with the anti-slavery group, the
Clapham Sect, whose members included William Wilberforce, and with
whom Stephen developed a lifelong friendship. Elected as a Member
of Parliament in 1808, Stephen contributed to drafting legislation
for slave registration on the island of Trinidad, which became a
model for other slave colonies. Stephen believed that the
reinstatement of older slavery practices on French colonies in the
West Indies would lead to slave revolts, and have significant
consequences for the neighbouring British colonies. This work was
published in London in 1802.
