Thoughts and sentiments on the evil and wicked traffic of the slavery and commerce of the human species: Humbly submitted to the inhabitants of Great-Britain by Ottabah Cugoano, a native of Africa. London, July 1787. Arguments against the slave trade by Cugoano who sold into slavery at the age of 13, learnt to read and write, and was freed. 'Thankful acknowledgement of those that have written and testified against slavery...Some account of the Author's captivity...Sundry pretences for enslaving the Africans answered; False consequences as some good arising from slavery exploded; Almost nothing to be seen abroad among Christians by ruffians and barbarians; Some account of slave-procurers; That the Africans sell their wives and children, nothing can be more contrary to their natural feelings, and absurd; Observations on other grand pretences made use of by the favourers of slavery refuted...'.
