I am led to think, and which every person must see, will extend to Black as well as White. But, Reader, excuse me, whoever you are, that may take offence at my construing this clause of the Charter in the manner I have done, it is only my opinion, and every one is at liberty to enjoy his own sentiments upon it as well as I; therefore I flatter myself of hearing soon, that means will be taken by the Legislature of most, if not all the Provinces of _North-America_, and the _West-India_ Islands, totally prohibiting the importation of Negroes into the _British_ Plantations; and setting at Liberty with universal consent, every Negro throughout the whole, at least in _North-America_, which will be an honour to human nature, to say that this great and this only remaining hinderance to the absolute freedom as well as legality of the _English_ trade is now happily and gloriously abolished; and then we may all cry with shouts of joy! which few more countries in the four quarters of the globe can, _That complete_ FREEDOM _both in people and trade is allowed throughout the_ British _Islands and Plantations in_ America _and_ the West-Indies! The IIId General Head proposed was, To shew the disadvantages arising from this base Trade. This head I propose to consider separately, and shall 1st. Shew the disadvantages to _Africa_ in taking so many of its natives away yearly. 2d. Treat of the hurt and prejudice of this Trade with _Europe_. 3d. Shew the disadvantages to the _British_ Plantations in _America_, particularly to the _West-Indies_, in carrying Black People thither.
