A fascinating document in which Wesleyan Methodist abolitionist missionary to the West Indies travels to Massachusetts and lectures the Anti-Slavery Society on the methods used by the pro-slavery forces in England, and offering insight and strategies to American abolitionists. A very interesting and insightful moment showing transparently the dependence on and relationship between the British and American abolitionist movements.
