Joseph Marryat (1757 1824) was an M.P., chairman of Lloyd's and
colonial agent for Grenada. This volume contains three of his
pamphlets - Thoughts on the Abolition of the Slave Trade (1816),
More Thoughts (1816) and More Thoughts Still (1818) which replied
to his critics. The first pamphlet was very controversial, running
to four editions in the year of publication. It vigorously attacks
the policies and influence of the African Institution, whose
arguments regarding the operation of slavery since the Abolition
Act of 1807 he proves, by using evidence from official British and
colonial government reports, to contain many falsehoods. Marryat
believed that, with regard to emancipation, lessons must be learned
from the French Revolution: ideals, if taken too quickly to
extremes, cause national and even international conflict. His
critics accused him of equal economy with the truth by selective
use of source material: his responses were also best-sellers.
