A Letter To Robert Hibbert, Junior, In Reply To His Pamphlet (1824)

By Thomas Cooper

Book Overview

""A Letter to Robert Hibbert, Junior, in Reply to His Pamphlet"" is a book written by Thomas Cooper in 1824. The book is a response to a pamphlet written by Robert Hibbert, Jr., a prominent British abolitionist and philanthropist. In his pamphlet, Hibbert argued that the slave trade was not as cruel and inhumane as it was portrayed by abolitionists, and that the slaves were generally well-treated. Cooper, a British radical and journalist, strongly disagreed with Hibbert's views and wrote this book to refute his arguments. Cooper argued that the slave trade was a brutal and immoral institution that was responsible for the suffering and death of millions of people. He also criticized Hibbert for his support of the West Indian planters, who he believed were the main beneficiaries of the slave trade.The book is an important historical document that sheds light on the debate over slavery and the slave trade in the early 19th century. It provides a valuable perspective on the arguments and attitudes of both abolitionists and pro-slavery advocates during this period.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
