Majesty from attending to the sufferings for which I plead.
Yet I do not solicit your royal pity for my own distress; my sufferings, although numerous,
are in a measure forgotten. I supplicate your Majesty's compassion for millions of my African
countrymen, who groan under the lash of tyranny in the West Indies.
The oppression and cruelty exercised to the unhappy negroes there, have at length reached
the British Legislature, and they are now deliberating on its redress; even several persons of property
in slaves in the West Indies, have petitioned Parliament against its continuance, sensible that it is as
impolitic as it is unjustand what is inhuman must ever be unwise.
Your Majesty's reign has been hitherto distinguished by private acts of benevolence and
