Abolition of the Slave Trade
Original manuscript copy of Clarkson's history of the slave trade. The first edition of Clarkson's history was published in 1808. The manuscript was completed sometime before that date. Only the first volume has been published online. Except for the Table of Contents (handwritten by Clarkson's wife, Catherine Buck) and an image of the middle passage (included here as HC09-10025_331), the second volume is a pentegraph copy of the first. It is available for viewing at Haverford College Special Collections, which also holds the following published editions: London : Longman, Hurst, Rees, and Orme, 1808; Philadelphia : James P. Parke, 1808 [1st American edition]; Wilmington : Printed by R. Porter, 1816 [abridged by Evan Lewis]; New York : Published by John S. Taylor, 1836.
