The question of the suppression of the slave-trade is so intimately
connected with the questions as to its rise, the system of American
slavery, and the whole colonial policy of the eighteenth century,
that it is difficult to isolate it, and at the same time to avoid
superficiality on the one hand, and unscientific narrowness of view
on the other. While I could not hope entirely to overcome such a
difficulty, I nevertheless trust that I have succeeded in rendering
this monograph a small contribution to the scientific study of
slavery and the American Negro. I desire to express my obligation
to Dr. Albert Bushnell Hart, of Harvard University, at whose
suggestion I began this work and by whose kind aid and
encouragement I have brought it to a close; also I have to thank
the trustees of the John F. Slater Fund, whose appointment made it
possible to test the conclusions of this study by the general
principles laid down in German universities. W. E. BURGHARDT Du
