LEAVING Mr. Clarkson, I turn to that scandalous publication, “Thoughts on Negroe Slavery” &c; which forms the text-book for an article in the first number of the Edinburgh Review, alluded to (No. 75). It is scarcely possible, and is indeed unnecessary to follow the “licentious” author through all his tortuous paths and misrepresentations. His fabric is built with materials supplied by two worthies, viz. the Rev. Thomas Cooper, and a Mr. I. M., whose initials, before I conclude, I shall be able to decypher.

Mr. Cooper shall come first, From the narrative put forward by the African Institution in his name, we learn that he was sent out by Mr. Thoma Hibbert to his estate, Georgia, in the Parish of Hanover, Jamaica, to bestow religious instruction upon his Slaves. Mr. Cooper was authorized to adopt his own plans—he was made quite independent of the other white people connected with the Slaves—he reached the estate on Christmas-day 1817, and with his wife remained there three years, when he quitted the island and returned to England, considering it useless “to consume his time” attempting to bestow “religious instruction” upon the “Slaves who had no time to attend to him,” and to whom he could only “preach twelve times a year.”
