Brief Description:
SECONDHAND COPY. Hardback in good condition, with dust jacket showing a little age in its coloring. Reverend James Ramsay was one of the earliest voices of the anti-slavery movement in Britain.

Despite this, he continued to write on the subject and act as an inspiration for future abolitionists in their fight to end slavery in Britain.
