New Reasons For Abolishing The Slave Trade: Being The Last Section Of A Larger Work, Now First Published, Entitled The Dangers Of The Country (1807) is a book written by James Stephen. It is a powerful and persuasive argument against the slave trade and slavery in general. The book is divided into two parts, the first of which is a detailed history of the slave trade from its origins to the present day. The second part is an impassioned plea for the abolition of the slave trade and slavery itself. Stephen argues that the slave trade is not only morally wrong, but also economically and politically damaging. He points out that the slave trade is a drain on the resources of the country, as it diverts capital and labor away from more productive pursuits. He also argues that the slave trade is a threat to the stability of the country, as it creates a large and potentially rebellious underclass. Throughout the book, Stephen uses a range of evidence and arguments to support his case. He draws on historical examples, economic data, and moral principles to show that the slave trade is indefensible. He also addresses many of the common objections to abolition, such as the idea that it would be too expensive or that it would harm the economy. Overall, New Reasons For Abolishing The Slave Trade is a powerful and important work that played a significant role in the campaign to end the slave trade. It remains a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of slavery and abolition, as well as for those seeking to understand the arguments for and against the trade in human beings.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
