140. West Indies: CONSIDERATIONS ADDRESSED TO PROFESSORS OF CHRISTIANITY OF EVERY DENOMINATION, ON THE IMPROPRIETY OF CONSUMING WEST-INDIA SUGAR & RUM, AS PRODUCED BY THE OPPRESSIVE LABOUR OF SLAVES. [London:] Printed in the Year, 1792. Disbound, 8pp. Lightly dusted, some bleeding at the fore-edge with a thin line of same along the blank fore-margin. Good+.

"Urges a general boycott of planter products as a speedy means of bringing about an end to the slave trade." Ragatz. "Many thousands are made fatherless and widows by the grievous oppression of our fellow creatures in the sugar colonies, and by the trade to Africa for negroes, to supply the place of those who are worn out, or murdered by excessive labour and cruel treatment." Christians ought to shun the products of slave labor. In the West Indies these are sugar and rum. "The negroes are destroyed to procure a luxury," which all right-thinking Christians should refuse. A Dublin printing also issued in the same year.
