An EfTay on Slavery:
Drfigned to exhibit in a new point of viey,
its effects on morals, indujiry, and the peace of
ociety. Some facts and calculations are offered
to prove the labor ofjrccncn to be much more
produflivc than that ot Jlaves ; that countries are
rich, powerful and happy, in proportion as the
laboring people enjoy the fruits of their own
labor ; and hence the n ctfTjiy oonclufun, that
slavery is impolitic as well as unjnjl.
