of the slave trade, i confess to you sir, so enormous so
dreadful, so irremediable [incurable] did its wickedness
appear that my own mind was completely made up for
the abolition. a trade founded in iniquity [evil), and
carried on as this was, must be abolished, let the policy be
what it might, -let the consequences be what they would,
i from this time determined that i would never rest till i
had effected its abolition.
