Book Description
Excerpt from Extinction of Slavery: A Discourse in Commemoration of the Extinction of Slavery in the British Colonies, on the 1st of August, 1838 Human'fi'rights had indeed been objects of contempla tion, but on no grand 'and comprehensive scale, with no quickening principles. Clanship, citizenship, nationality; the sympathies even of the wiser part went not beyond these narrow generalisations. A new spirit comes into the mind of Europe. Christianity extricates itself from the trammels in which Heathenism had for Centuries held it, and teaching the doctrine of man's spiritual equality, it expands the speculations of philosophy so as to embrace the whole of humankind. The science of morality undergoes a new birth. History serves for new and higher purposes. International rights are acknowledged, which gives rise to international law; and the way is pre pared for the settlement of the disputes of empires, hy'the peaceful arbitration of reason, instead of murderous appeals.

Book Description
The British country house has long been regarded as the jewel in the nation's heritage crown. But the country house is also an expression of wealth and power, and as scholars reconsider the nation's colonial past, new questions are being posed about these great houses and their links to Atlantic slavery.This book, authored by a range of academics and heritage professionals, grew out of a 2009 conference on 'Slavery and the British Country house: mapping the current research' organised by English Heritage in partnership with the University of the West of England, the National Trust and the Economic History Society. It asks what links might be established between the wealth derived from slavery and the British country house and what implications such links should have for the way such properties are represented to the public today.Lavishly illustrated and based on the latest scholarship, this wide-ranging and innovative volume provides in-depth examinations of individual houses, regional studies and critical reconsiderations of existing heritage sites, including two studies specially commissioned by English Heritage and one sponsored by the National Trust.
