| 51371 | ''Who is my neighbor?'' |
| 51371 | And now will you look on, and seal your lips in silence, and say that you have no right to interfere for the deliverance of the slave? |
| 51371 | And the poor suffering female slave-- of what is she not spoiled? |
| 51371 | And what, I ask, makes the crime any less heinous, when practiced toward a colored man, than it would be if practiced toward either of us? |
| 51371 | And who is an oppressor, if it be not the man who holds him in bondage, and inflicts all these wrongs upon him? |
| 51371 | But I seem to hear some one ask-- must we think only of the slave-- must we not regard the master''s rights? |
| 51371 | But it may still be asked, what do you expect to accomplish? |
| 51371 | But must he relinquish all the property he now holds in slaves? |
| 51371 | But perhaps it will be asked; admitting that slavery is everything that you claim it to be, what right have you to interfere? |

| 51371 | Is he not spoiled of everything? |
| 51371 | Is it not most clearly a truth, then, that slavery destroys more souls, than the making and vending of ardent spirit? |
| 51371 | Is not my point made clear, abundantly clear, that slavery is worse than murder? |
| 51371 | Is that loving your neighbor as yourself? |
| 51371 | Is that the religion of Christ? |
| 51371 | Now I would like to know whether there is any language under heaven, that will sufficiently set forth the guilt of such a wretch? |
| 51371 | Of what use then, are hands, and feet, and eyes, to him? |
| 51371 | Poor girl, what could she do? |
| 51371 | Right to hold his fellow man in bondage for one hour? |
| 51371 | Shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?'' |
| 51371 | Shall we say one half? |
| 51371 | She wished to know what she could do? |
| 51371 | Slavery_ itself_ is the thing to be reprobated? |

| 51371 | Who can believe it? |
| 51371 | Who is spoiled, if it be not the slave? |
| 51371 | Who then, I ask again, is spoiled, if it be not the slave? |
| 51371 | Would you not prefer this to being whipped, and then laid away to die under the effect? |

| 37408 | [ 5]What does the European War mean to us Orientals?" |
| 37408 | Above all: will the browns tend to impinge on white race- areas as the yellows show signs of doing? |
| 37408 | And what would that strain be? |
| 37408 | And who can blame him? |
| 37408 | Bearing all the above facts in mind, can we believe the Indian capable of drawing mongrel- ruled America from its slough of despond? |
| 37408 | But such improvement as there is involves time, expense, and trouble; and, when it is done, has anything been gained? |

| 37408 | Finally, is the South American half- caste absolutely incapable of organization and culture? |
| 37408 | For example, is the formation of a national consciousness possible with such disparate elements? |
| 37408 | For what is"vital instinct"but the imperious urge of superior heredity? |
| 37408 | Further, our saddle and bridle are as yet mere makeshifts: would steed and trappings stand the strain of war? |

| 37408 | Now why is all this? |
| 37408 | Now, is not readaptation precisely the problem with which civilized man has been increasingly confronted for the past hundred years? |

| 37408 | What if we become crowded without their ceasing to be so? |
| 37408 | What other field offers such tempting possibilities for Mongolian race- expansion? |
| 37408 | Where, then, should the congested colored world tend to pour its accumulating human surplus, inexorably condemned to emigrate or starve? |
| 37408 | Why should it, since centuries of experience had taught the exact contrary? |
| 37408 | Why should not a similar development occur in Asia? |
| 37408 | Why should not the Japanese stretch out their hands toward that country, now that the people are looking to the Japanese? |
| 37408 | Would such heterogeneous democracies be able to resist the invasion of superior races? |

| 11489 | Do you mark how God hath followed you with plagues; and may not conscience tell you, that it is for your inhumanity to the souls and bodies of men? |
| 11489 | 17. what can be expected, but that the groans and cries of these sufferers will reach Heaven; and what shall we do_ when God riseth up? |
| 11489 | And as to those vices peculiar to themselves, have not the christians quickly exceeded them therein? |
| 11489 | And here what sympathy, what commiseration, do they meet with? |
| 11489 | And indeed, why should not things be equal on both sides? |
| 11489 | Are any laws so binding as the eternal laws of justice? |
| 11489 | Are they not men as well as we, and have they not the same sensibility? |
| 11489 | Are they not these very civilized violaters of humanity themselves? |
| 11489 | But what then? |
| 11489 | But who are You, who pretend to judge of another man''s happiness? |
| 11489 | But who are they that have set on foot this general HUNTING? |
| 11489 | Can any, whose mind is not rendered quite obdurate by the love of wealth, hear these relations, without being deeply touched with sympathy and sorrow? |
| 11489 | Did not those people receive the Spaniards, who first came amongst them, with gentleness and humanity? |
| 11489 | Did your slaves ever complain to you of their unhappiness amidst their native woods and deserts? |
| 11489 | Does not justice loudly call for its being restored to them? |
| 11489 | Have men a right to acquire it by rendering their fellow- creatures miserable? |
| 11489 | Have not these unfortunate Africans, who meet with the same cruel fate, the same right? |
| 11489 | Have they not the same right to demand it, as any of us should have, if we had been violently snatched by pirates from our native land? |
| 11489 | How long has the right of the strongest been allowed to be the balance of justice? |
| 11489 | How long, how bloody and destructive was the contest between the Moorish slaves and the native Spaniards? |
| 11489 | If this hath not been generally the case with them, is it a matter of surprize? |
| 11489 | Is a Hottentot''s assistance required by one of his countrymen? |
| 11489 | Is his advice asked? |
| 11489 | Is his countryman in want? |
| 11489 | Is it doubtful, whether a judge ought to pay greater regard to them, than to those arbitrary and inhuman usages which prevail in a distant land? |
| 11489 | Is it lawful to abuse mankind, that the avarice, the vanity, or the passions of a few may be gratified? |
| 11489 | Is it not the duty of every dispenser of justice, who is not forgetful of his own humanity, to remember that these are men, and to declare them free? |
| 11489 | Must they be sent to Africa? |
| 11489 | Now, you that have studied the book of conscience, and you that are learned in the law, what will you say to such deplorable cases? |
| 11489 | Or, rather, let me ask, did they ever cease complaining of their condition under you their lordly masters? |
| 11489 | Ought the judges of any country, out of respect to the law of another, to shew no respect to their kind, and to humanity? |
| 11489 | That state, which each man, under the guidance of his Maker, forms for himself, and not one man for another? |
| 11489 | The purses of highwaymen would be empty, in case robberies were totally abolished; but have men a right to acquire money by going out to the highway? |
| 11489 | The severe whipping and torturing them, even to death, if they resist his unsupportable tyranny? |
| 11489 | The wearing them out with continual labour, before they have lived out half their days? |
| 11489 | What part of the gospel gives a sanction to such a doctrine? |
| 11489 | When, and how, have these oppressed people forfeited their liberty? |
| 11489 | Why was I not permitted, even at the expence of my blood, to ransom so many thousand souls, who fell unhappy victims to avarice or lust? |
| 11489 | Will not christianity blush at this impious sacrilege? |
| 11489 | Will not the groans, the dying groans, of this deeply afflicted and oppressed people reach heaven? |
| 11489 | Would not any of us, who should-- be snatched by pirates from his native land, think himself cruelly abused, and at all times entitled to be free? |
| 11489 | _ Did not he that made them, make us; and did not one fashion us in the womb_? |
| 11489 | and when he visiteth_, what will ye answer him? |
| 11489 | and when the cup of iniquity is full, must not the inevitable consequence be, the pouring forth of the judgments of God upon their oppressors? |
| 11489 | is it not too manifest that this oppression has already long been the object of the divine displeasure? |
| 11489 | what is there in the infinite abuses of society which does not shock them? |
| 15399 | ''How did you get it?'' |
| 15399 | ''Then,''said I,''how comes it in all our country we never heard of them?'' |
| 15399 | ''Then,''said he,''when were you brought to the knowledge of God? |
| 15399 | ''What,''said he,''give you your freedom? |
| 15399 | ''Why,''said he,''did not your master buy you?'' |
| 15399 | --''Then,''said he,''do you not read in the bible, he that offends in one point is guilty of all?'' |
| 15399 | And are ye not struck with shame and mortification, to see the partakers of your nature reduced so low? |
| 15399 | And do not the assembly which enacted it deserve the appellation of savages and brutes rather than of Christians and men? |
| 15399 | And yet what a prodigious difference is there between an English and West India climate? |
| 15399 | And, above all, why do those who make this assertion exclaim the most loudly against the abolition of the slave trade? |
| 15399 | And,''Who is there amongst you that feareth the Lord, that obeyeth the voice of his servant, that walketh in darkness and hath no light? |
| 15399 | Are any pains taken to teach them these? |
| 15399 | Are slaves more useful by being thus humbled to the condition of brutes, than they would be if suffered to enjoy the privileges of men? |
| 15399 | Are they fit to be applied by one rational being to another? |
| 15399 | Are they treated as men? |
| 15399 | Are you not hourly in dread of an insurrection? |
| 15399 | But had the cruel man struck me I certainly should have defended myself at the hazard of my life; for what is life to a man thus oppressed? |
| 15399 | But is not the slave trade entirely a war with the heart of man? |
| 15399 | But surely this assertion refutes itself; for, if it be true, why do the planters and merchants pay such a price for slaves? |
| 15399 | But, above all, are there no dangers attending this mode of treatment? |
| 15399 | Did Nature make_ them_ inferior to their sons? |
| 15399 | Do the British colonies decrease in this manner? |
| 15399 | Does not slavery itself depress the mind, and extinguish all its fire and every noble sentiment? |
| 15399 | Does not the success of this practice say loudly to the planters in the language of scripture--"Go ye and do likewise?" |
| 15399 | Have you got forty pounds sterling?'' |
| 15399 | He then asked me if I could read? |
| 15399 | How can I sink with such a prop, That bears the world and all things up?" |
| 15399 | I asked him, if_ he_ was to die that moment, whether he was sure to enter the kingdom of God? |
| 15399 | I asked how the vessel could go? |
| 15399 | I asked why? |
| 15399 | I simply asked him what right he had to sell me? |
| 15399 | I then asked my friend, Mr. L----d, who was a clerk in a chapel, why the commandments of God were given, if we could not be saved by them? |
| 15399 | I then asked where were their women? |
| 15399 | I was bathed in tears, and said, What am I that God should thus look on me the vilest of sinners? |
| 15399 | I was told they had:''and why,''said I,''do we not see them?'' |
| 15399 | In this situation is it surprising that slaves, when mildly treated, should prefer even the misery of slavery to such a mockery of freedom? |
| 15399 | Is it not enough that we are torn from our country and friends to toil for your luxury and lust of gain? |
| 15399 | Is not this one common and crying sin enough to bring down God''s judgment on the islands? |
| 15399 | Is not this one of the many acts of the islands which call loudly for redress? |
| 15399 | Might it not naturally be ascribed to their situation? |
| 15399 | Might not his blood for me atone? |
| 15399 | Must every tender feeling be likewise sacrificed to your avarice? |
| 15399 | Pray, reader, are these sons and daughters of the French planter less his children by being begotten on a black woman? |
| 15399 | Query-- How many millions doth Africa contain? |
| 15399 | Situated as we were, who could think that men should be so careless of the danger they were in? |
| 15399 | The captain then said it must be done: I asked him why? |
| 15399 | The word of God saith,''What does it avail a man if he gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?'' |
| 15399 | They can say with pious Job,''Did not I weep for him that was in trouble? |
| 15399 | Unhappy, more than some on earth, I thought the place that gave me birth-- Strange thoughts oppress''d-- while I replied"Why not in Ethiopia died?" |
| 15399 | When I conversed with him, the first thing he asked me was, what I knew of Christ? |
| 15399 | When he saw me he appeared a good deal surprised, and asked me how I came back? |
| 15399 | Why are parents to lose their children, brothers their sisters, or husbands their wives? |
| 15399 | Why do you use those instruments of torture? |
| 15399 | Why, where did you get the money? |
| 15399 | Yet how mistaken is the avarice even of the planters? |
| 15399 | and added,''Do you_ know_ that your sins are forgiven you?'' |
| 15399 | and how were you convinced of sin?'' |
| 15399 | and if there was no law for free men? |
| 15399 | and should_ they too_ have been made slaves? |
| 15399 | had they any like themselves? |
| 15399 | might not an African ask you, learned you this from your God, who says unto you, Do unto all men as you would men should do unto you? |
| 15399 | was not my soul grieved for the poor?'' |
| 23034 | And so,said I, when I got back to Kya,"dost thou in truth believe, beloved Ibrahim, that the devil dwells in those rocks of the sulphur stream?" |
| 23034 | And your mother? |
| 23034 | But, what of_ Monsieur le capitaine_, in the present instance? |
| 23034 | Cider-- of course, corporal; what other sort of pop can starving wretches like us drink in Sary- loney? |
| 23034 | Did you get my message? |
| 23034 | Has the blood of last night unsettled your nerves and made you delirious? 23034 How was it, then,"exclaimed the commander,"that you fought under the Portuguese flag?" |
| 23034 | Was one of your uncles a navy officer? |
| 23034 | Why not, brother Theodore? 23034 Why?" |
| 23034 | _ C''est une belle dame, notre vis à vis, n''est elle pas mon cher?_said he pointing to our patron saint opposite. |
| 23034 | _ Cider_, captain? |
| 23034 | _ Me_, lieutenant? |
| 23034 | After a moment''s hesitation, he continued,--still pacing the apartment in his night linen,--"You do n''t like the English, do you, my boy?" |
| 23034 | And do I prevent your embarkation, if you can find any Krooman willing to take you on board? |
| 23034 | Are ye drunk? |
| 23034 | But who, after the fall of Corporal Blunt, shall declare that there is a living man free from the lures of betrayal? |
| 23034 | Can either of you perform this service?" |
| 23034 | Can this wine have made you mad?" |
| 23034 | Come into the house; where have you been? |
| 23034 | Did he anticipate my effort to fly, and endeavor to save me from the double risk of crossing to the mainland, and of future provision for my comfort? |
| 23034 | Did his friend,_ le Mongo_, intend to honor this draft? |
| 23034 | Did you not come here to''blockade''New Sestros, with a brig and provisions for half a year? |
| 23034 | First of all, he inquired what I wished to know? |
| 23034 | Had I been treated with honor, respect and attention on my journey? |
| 23034 | Had he purposely and honorably left me alone, in order to escape this scene of blood? |
| 23034 | Had this wretch torn it from her head, as he imbrued his hands in her blood on that terrible night? |
| 23034 | How many brothers had I? |
| 23034 | I was their guest, and owed them no tribute or duties; and yet, had I not_ voluntarily_ lavished my presents upon the chiefs? |
| 23034 | If the royal palace of Timbuctoo was of_ such_ a character,--"What,"said he,"were the dwellings of nobles and townsfolk?" |
| 23034 | If you drink, will it not physic you? |
| 23034 | Is n''t the water poison? |
| 23034 | Is there hope for a nation which, in three thousand years, has hardly turned in its sleep? |
| 23034 | Let us see if he is at home?" |
| 23034 | May we not feel a_ spasm_ of regret at leaving even a prison? |
| 23034 | Now is n''t that a delightful_ catalogue raisonné_ of arguments why women should love_ les mâtelots_?" |
| 23034 | Perhaps you are no longer disposed to regard me as your chief? |
| 23034 | Powers, passions, propensities, and even thoughts, could not be hidden from him;--and,"who dared try his skill?" |
| 23034 | Presently he demanded whether I was alone? |
| 23034 | Shall the regeneration of a continent be quicker than its ripening? |
| 23034 | The boat was lowered; but who would man her? |
| 23034 | The reader may ask why I did not burst the bond, and free myself at a word from a commerce with which I was disgusted? |
| 23034 | Then, looking intently over my face and into the very depth of my eyes, he asked gently with a smile--"what was my name?" |
| 23034 | Was I not generous? |
| 23034 | Was it the warning-- as it was certainly the handwriting-- of Rafael? |
| 23034 | Was my dwelling comfortable? |
| 23034 | Were they warriors? |
| 23034 | Were they"book- men?" |
| 23034 | What delay would I make in Footha- Yallon? |
| 23034 | What possible object or result could I gain by resistance amid the motley assemblage that surrounded me on the deck of the"CARA- BOBO?" |
| 23034 | When animals lick it in the dry season, do they not die on the margin by scores? |
| 23034 | Who was my father? |
| 23034 | Who was my mother? |
| 23034 | Why did I travel so far? |
| 23034 | Will you promise?" |
| 23034 | Would night_ never_ come? |
| 23034 | Yet why should I scoff at poor Ali? |
| 23034 | Yet, what British merchant does not know the traffic on which those bills are founded, and for whose support his wares are purchased? |
| 23034 | You ai n''t afraid of_ cider_, are you?" |
| 23034 | _ Hola!__ Messieurs_, shall we not make the most of new acquaintances when they may be so brief?" |
| 23034 | _ Mais pourquoi, mon cher?_ why shall it be your last week? |
| 23034 | _ Mais pourquoi, mon cher?_ why shall it be your last week? |
| 23034 | at a moment''s notice, were we to obtain mats enough to carpet the five hundred yards of transit from the river to the house? |
| 23034 | inquired Mesclet,"and where is he at present?" |
| 23034 | mon cher_,"said I, as I followed the gold;"_ la fortune de guerre_ has many phases, you see; how do you like this one? |
| 23034 | said the chief,"it is all there,--is it not? |
| 23034 | was his reply,"and why have n''t you gone?" |
| 23034 | yelled the Lieutenant, as the surgeon came up with the vociferous group:"put us aboard and be paid, or I''ll----?" |

| 13205 | A-- THE GEOGRAPHIC SURVEY OF CITIES Coming to concrete Civic Survey, where shall we begin? |
| 13205 | After all, what is the claim of free- will but to select among the factors afforded by a given set of circumstances? |
| 13205 | Am I thus suggesting the_ Divina Comedia_ as a guide- book to cities? |
| 13205 | And does not his popular park at times come near giving us a vital indication of the needed modern analogue of cathedral and forum? |
| 13205 | And how apply this whole knowledge of past and present towards civic action? |
| 13205 | And, again, What is to be the intercourse of nations? |
| 13205 | But how are we to utilise this? |
| 13205 | But if this be indeed the due correlation of civic survey and civic service, how may we now best promote the diffusion and the advancement of both? |
| 13205 | But what of the opening Future? |
| 13205 | By what process do men struggle towards the selection of their ideals? |
| 13205 | Does he not see the dark fate of some, the striving and rising hope of others, the redemption also? |
| 13205 | For if each human individuality be unique, how much more must that of every city? |
| 13205 | For this process is there no remedy? |
| 13205 | For what makes the industrial Town, what can better keep it than strenuous industry at its anvil? |
| 13205 | How co- ordinate it with the needed independent and first- hand survey of city by city? |
| 13205 | How continue it? |
| 13205 | How, then, shall we correlate this process of all things growing old with the analysis of cities above attempted? |
| 13205 | If from the Outlook Tower he dreams of an idealised Edinburgh he has only to reply to the scoffer who asks,"What have you done?" |
| 13205 | Indeed, in our own present[ Page: 97] cities, as they have come to be, is not each of us ever finding his own Inferno, or it may be his Paradise? |
| 13205 | Indeed, is not such association of observations and experiments, are not such institutions actually incipient here and elsewhere? |
| 13205 | Is it to be war or peace? |
| 13205 | Is not a third volume imaginable and possible, that of the opening Civic Future? |
| 13205 | The question is: Is"Civics"to be only the study of forms? |
| 13205 | Though mere empiric craft- mastery dies with the individual, and fails with his successors, may we not perpetuate the best of this? |
| 13205 | Understanding the present as the development of the past, are we not preparing also to understand the future as the development of the present? |
| 13205 | What are the signs? |
| 13205 | What are these? |
| 13205 | What gain would there be in that proportionate to the labour entailed? |
| 13205 | What is its ethical and religious standard? |
| 13205 | What is its practice as to the acquisition and distribution of wealth? |
| 13205 | What is to be the area of survey? |
| 13205 | What now of the causes of progress or decay? |
| 13205 | What words can we place under the head of"Incipient"in Prof. Geddes''diagram? |
| 13205 | What, then, we have to ask is:--(1) What actually are the generalisations of the present paper? |
| 13205 | Where did that come from? |
| 13205 | Why leave it there? |
| 13205 | Yet who can see Florence without this, though we may pack below it Baedeker and Murray? |
| 13205 | [ 6] And at that stage, may not the controversy stimulate a fruitful analysis? |
| 10386 | And did not the whole Assembly of Grenada, as we collect from the famous speech of Mr. Pitt on the Slave Trade in 1791, affirm the same thing? |
| 10386 | And from whence does such a system arise? |
| 10386 | And have not free Negroes been at sundry times trepanned by such dealers, and been brought contrary to the laws of nations, and sold here as slaves?" |
| 10386 | And to what was all this owing? |
| 10386 | And what is it, after all, that I have been proposing in the course of the preceding pages? |
| 10386 | And would not this be the case with our Negroes at this moment, if such a prospect were to be set before them? |
| 10386 | And"Why,( immediately said one of the members,) why conformable to the laws of England? |
| 10386 | And, first, will any one say that this case is not analogous to that which we have in contemplation? |
| 10386 | Are no artificial grasses to be found in our islands, and is the existence of the scythe unknown there? |
| 10386 | But how many days in the week does he work when he makes such annual earnings? |
| 10386 | But how was he to accomplish this[14]? |
| 10386 | But how, it will be said, do you prove, by establishing this fact, that it would be cheaper for our planters to employ free men than slaves? |
| 10386 | But if a new Code of Laws be indispensably necessary in our colonies in order to secure a better treatment to the slaves, to whom must we look for it? |
| 10386 | But if so, what would become of the argument of his honourable friend? |
| 10386 | But if they would be overjoyed at this prospect, is it likely they would cut the throats of those, who should attempt to realize it? |
| 10386 | But is it consistent with the laws of England, that any one man should have the power of forcing another to work for him without wages? |
| 10386 | But it will be asked, where did the purchasers get them? |
| 10386 | But what did Mr. Pitt say to them in the House of Commons? |
| 10386 | But what was the cause of all this restlessness? |
| 10386 | Can we doubt, that Providence would then bless their endeavours, and that_ salvation_ from their difficulties would be their portion in the end? |
| 10386 | Can we forget that by the decree of Polverel, sanctioned afterwards by the Convention, all the slaves_ were made free at once_, or_ in a single day_? |
| 10386 | For as it takes no other view of slaves than as_ cattle_, how is it applicable to those, whom we have so abundantly proved_ to be men_? |
| 10386 | Has he not taken from those, who act wickedly, the power of discerning the right path? |
| 10386 | How can such a wicked, such an ill- framed system succeed? |
| 10386 | How did Toussaint succeed? |
| 10386 | How then can persons in such a state be fit to receive their freedom? |
| 10386 | How then can such a system ever answer? |
| 10386 | If England, say they, abolished the slave trade_ from moral motives_, how happens it_ that she continues slavery_? |
| 10386 | If this be not so, how happens it that you can not see the Slaves, belonging to such estimable men,_ without marks of the whip upon their backs_? |
| 10386 | Is it consistent with the laws of England, that a man should be judged by any but his peers? |
| 10386 | Is it consistent with the same laws, that a man should be deprived of the power of giving evidence against the man who has injured him? |
| 10386 | Is there any thing unreasonable in this proposition? |
| 10386 | It will be answered, that they got them from the sellers; and where did the sellers, that is, the original sellers, get them? |
| 10386 | Now how are these expressions to be reconciled with the common notions in England of Negro labour? |
| 10386 | Now what does he earn in the course of a year when he is working for himself? |
| 10386 | The question then is, how have these fond expectations been realized? |
| 10386 | To whom then are we to turn our eyes for help on this occasion? |
| 10386 | What argument then can be produced for the continuation of a barbarous discipline there? |
| 10386 | What evils has not this cruel association of terms produced? |
| 10386 | What superior claims have you either upon Parliament or upon us, that you should have the preference? |
| 10386 | What then becomes of the Roman law? |
| 10386 | What was to have been expected but the dissolution of all civilized society, with the reign of barbarism and terror? |
| 10386 | Whether he could not carry on the plantation- work through the stimulus of reward? |
| 10386 | Whether he could not do away all arbitrary punishments and yet keep up discipline among the slaves? |
| 10386 | Which then of the two competitors has the claim to preference by an English Parliament and an English people? |
| 10386 | Why are not horses, or mules, or oxen, and carts or other vehicles of convenience, used oftener on such occasions? |
| 10386 | Will not the courts in England admit such proof as is authorized by_ our slave laws_?" |
| 10386 | or has he not so confounded their faculties, that they are for ever frustrating their own schemes? |
| 10386 | or how many and which of these desirable effects have been produced? |

| 10448 | Is there a breast so chilled in life, Can nurse the coward''s sigh? |
| 10448 | Is there a creature so debased, Would not for freedom die? |
| 10448 | Is there a heart so cold in man, Can galling fetters crave? |
| 10448 | Is there a man that never prized The sweets of liberty? |
| 10448 | Is there a wretch so truly low, Can stoop to be a slave? |
| 10448 | Is true freedom but to break Fetters for our own dear sake, And, with leathern hearts forget That we owe mankind a debt? |
| 10448 | Lord, break them Slavery powers-- will you go along with me? |
| 10448 | Must e''en the press be dumb? |
| 10448 | Must nature''neath the whip- cord languish? |
| 10448 | Must the groans of your bondman still torture the ear? |
| 10448 | Must truth itself succumb? |
| 10448 | My country, shall thy honored name, Be as a by- word through the world? |
| 10448 | O, gracious Lord? |
| 10448 | Or threats thy Heaven- born spirit tame? |
| 10448 | Or turns the rapid current? |
| 10448 | Ought I not, then, to be free? |
| 10448 | Peace, babblers-- be still; Prate not of the goddess who scarce deigns to hear; Have ye power to unbind? |
| 10448 | Pierpont Are ye Truly Free? |
| 10448 | Say, O fond Zurima, Where dost thou stay? |
| 10448 | Say, doth another List to thy sweet lay? |
| 10448 | Say, doth the orange still Bloom near our cot? |
| 10448 | See these poor souls from Africa, Transported to America: We are stolen, and sold to Georgia, will you go along with me? |
| 10448 | See wives and husbands sold apart, The children''s screams!--it breaks my heart; There''s a better day a coming, will you go along with me? |
| 10448 | Shall he a slave be bound, Whom God hath doubly crowned Creation''s lord? |
| 10448 | Shall law be set aside, The right of prayer denied, Nature and God decried, And man called brute? |
| 10448 | Shall men of Christian name, Without a blush of shame, Profess their tyrant claim From God''s own word? |
| 10448 | Shall the sons of those sires that once spurned the chain, Turn bloodhounds to hunt and make captive again? |
| 10448 | Shall tyranny triumph, and freedom succumb? |
| 10448 | Then, answer, is the spirit Less noble or less free? |
| 10448 | This is proud oppression''s hour; Storms are round us; shall we cower? |
| 10448 | WHAT MEAN YE? |
| 10448 | What lover of her fame Feels not his country''s shame, In this dark hour? |
| 10448 | What mean ye that ye bruise and bind My people, saith the Lord, And starve your craving brother''s mind, Who asks to hear my word? |
| 10448 | What mean ye that ye make them toil, Through long and dreary years, And shed like rain upon your soil Their blood and bitter tears? |
| 10448 | What mean ye, that ye dare to rend The tender mother''s heart? |
| 10448 | What mean ye, when God''s bounteous hand To you so much has given, That from the slave who tills your land Ye keep both earth and heaven? |
| 10448 | What moves the mighty torrent, And bids it flow abroad? |
| 10448 | What, but the voice of God? |
| 10448 | When at the judgment God shall call, Where is thy brother? |
| 10448 | Where are the hopes that my heart used to cheer? |
| 10448 | Where are the patriots now, Of honest heart and brow, Who scorn the neck to bow To Slavery''s power? |
| 10448 | Where human law o''errules Divine, Beneath the sheriff''s hammer fell My wife and babes,--I call them mine,-- And where they suffer, who can tell? |
| 10448 | Where the sweet Joliba, Kisses the shore, Say, shall I wander By thee never more? |
| 10448 | While beneath a despot''s power Groans the suffering slave? |
| 10448 | While mothers are torn from their children apart, And agony sunders the cords of the heart? |
| 10448 | While on every southern gale, Comes the helpless captive''s tale, And the voice of woman''s wail, And of man''s despair? |
| 10448 | While our homes and rights are dear, Guarded still with watchful fear, Shall we coldly turn our ear From the suppliant''s prayer? |
| 10448 | Who comes in his pride to that low cottage door-- The haughty and rich to the humble and poor? |
| 10448 | Why does she raise that bitter cry? |
| 10448 | Why hangs her head with shame, As now the auctioneer''s rough voice, So rudely calls her name? |
| 10448 | Why stands she near the auction stand, That girl so young and fair; What brings her to this dismal place, Why stands she weeping there? |
| 10448 | Will you, will you be colonized? |
| 10448 | Will you, will you be colonized? |
| 10448 | Ye spirits of the free, Can ye forever see Your brother man A yoked and scourged slave, Chains dragging to his grave, And raise no hand to save? |
| 10448 | Zurima, Zurima, Am I forgot? |
| 10448 | and are ye thus dumb? |
| 10448 | are ye fit to be Mothers of the brave and free? |
| 10448 | bend forsooth to southern rule? |
| 10448 | can man e''er bind thee? |
| 10448 | cringe and crawl to souther''s clay, And be the base, the supple tool, Of hell- begotten slavery? |
| 10448 | how long? |
| 10448 | my every heart- string cries, Dost thou these scenes behold In this our boasted Christian land, And must the truth be told? |
| 10448 | say, What mean ye to the Judge of all To answer on that day? |
| 10448 | she grasps a manly hand, And in a voice so low, As scarcely to be heard, she says,''My brother, must I go?'' |
| 10448 | when Slavery''ll cease, Then we poor souls can have our peace; There''s a better day a coming, will you go along with me? |
| 10448 | when shall it be, That we poor souls shall all be free? |
| 10448 | whose boast it is that ye Come of fathers brave and free; If there breathe on earth a slave, Are ye truly free and brave? |
| 10448 | will right Triumph o''er wrong? |
| 10448 | will you send me back? |
| 10448 | will you send me back? |
| 10448 | will you send me back? |
| 10448 | will you send me back? |
| 17246 | ''It was all very well,''said my wife,''to do these little sums on paper, but suppose the facts did not correspond? |
| 17246 | ''Not of course like you, not half so good,''she added with a smile,''but how do you know that you will succeed? |
| 17246 | ''Why?'' |
| 17246 | ''You be come to see Dawes''farm?'' |
| 17246 | A cottage and a hundred pounds a year in a village meant happiness and independence; but dared I sacrifice twice or thrice the income to secure it? |
| 17246 | And can we not see that in the mere economy of means and money the gain by such a system would be immense? |
| 17246 | And if the whole nation acted in this spirit, how long would the nation hold its place of power and influence? |
| 17246 | And is it not so with men? |
| 17246 | And what was the root and cause of all this miracle? |
| 17246 | Are we not seeing life from different angles? |
| 17246 | At what point is the ebb checked, at what point does the fuller wave begin to flow? |
| 17246 | But could we live in the country of Millet? |
| 17246 | But is no escape possible? |
| 17246 | But is there nothing else to be considered? |
| 17246 | But why should such a statement be construed into a reproach on my mode of life? |
| 17246 | CHAPTER VI IN SEARCH OF THE PICTURESQUE I was free, but what was I to do with my freedom? |
| 17246 | CHAPTER XII AM I RIGHT? |
| 17246 | Could I bear to relinquish the familiar scene? |
| 17246 | Could I face a new kind of life upon an income of seventy pounds per annum? |
| 17246 | Could I reconcile myself to seclusion so entire? |
| 17246 | Could any book have laid hold of us after this fashion if it had been read in the hurried leisure of a city life? |
| 17246 | Do these men share the higher privileges of life? |
| 17246 | Have you no obligations to these? |
| 17246 | Have you that right? |
| 17246 | He gets a living, and perhaps in time an ample living; but does he live? |
| 17246 | How much money do we need to secure independence? |
| 17246 | How would my wife regard the definite disappearance of five thousand shillings? |
| 17246 | I asked myself whether a life so destitute of real interests and pleasures was life at all? |
| 17246 | I observe that my friend does not live in the spirit of his own axiom: else, why should he trouble himself over the inhabitants of Lucraft''s Row? |
| 17246 | I would measure the future of a man, or of a nation, by this simple test; do they habitually choose the easier or the harder path for themselves? |
| 17246 | If I migrated to a cottage, how would matters stand with me? |
| 17246 | Is it then a dream quite impossible and vain, that cities may be so administered as to develop the best life of men, and not to stint it? |
| 17246 | Is not life with them the getting of a living rather than living? |
| 17246 | Is there not then something that is unmanly in the opposite sentiment? |
| 17246 | Is this divided life good for either party? |
| 17246 | It seems as though if he be right in his mode of life I must be wrong in mine; and yet may we not both be right? |
| 17246 | Let Dives be accounted then a public benefactor, we may say; perhaps so, but the question still remains, does Dives get the most and best out of life? |
| 17246 | May we not also hope that the general application of electric force will do much to cleanse our atmosphere? |
| 17246 | More and more the thought began to gather shape, Was I getting the most, or the best, out of life? |
| 17246 | My bread was baked in a flame kindled at my own heart[ Transcriber''s note: hearth? |
| 17246 | Nay, more; is it not the getting of a living for some one else? |
| 17246 | Of what value were my own opinions, hopes, or programmes in this huge concourse and confusion of opinion? |
| 17246 | Suppose I found no cottage at twenty pounds a year, and no decent school at sixpence a week? |
| 17246 | Suppose all men followed your example, what would happen? |
| 17246 | The air of Surbiton may be a little fresher than the air of Bloomsbury, but what does this count for if the atmosphere of the hearth be poisoned? |
| 17246 | The only question was then, at what rate did I value the boon? |
| 17246 | The reflection is inevitable; what had he got out of life after all? |
| 17246 | They do some kind of work, which one may suppose is of some utility and value to the nation; why should their kind of work be despised? |
| 17246 | What became of the 52 pounds which found no record in my ingenuous schedule? |
| 17246 | What can a few extra pounds a year bring to a man who finds himself bound to the same tasks, and those tasks distasteful? |
| 17246 | What can be more absurd than the arrangement of a modern London villa? |
| 17246 | What can there be more delightful than to see that which you have dreamed grow into tangible and enduring form? |
| 17246 | What had I done? |
| 17246 | What is a man better for his wealth if he does not know how to use it? |
| 17246 | What to me were blue skies and soft winds when I might be sharer in this elemental strife? |
| 17246 | What was my precise position then? |
| 17246 | Who cared what one human brain chanced to think, where so many million brains were thinking? |
| 17246 | Why, then, was its possessor so eager to be quit of it? |
| 17246 | Would not such a combination of men and women represent the best ideal of a human community? |
| 17246 | Would not this weight of utter silence grow heavier than I could bear? |
| 17246 | Would you venture to say that the race would profit by it if your example were largely imitated? |
| 17246 | You are doing good to yourself, no doubt; but is it not a better thing to be doing good to others? |
| 17246 | You have yet to answer me one question: are you the better for it? |
| 17246 | You used to be very eloquent against good men who lived only for their own pleasure; are not you yourself living in the same way? |
| 17246 | Your course of life is easily imitable: would you have it imitated? |
| 17246 | can nothing be done to regenerate our cities? |
| 17246 | working for his living? |
| 578 | Are you telling me that one of the gifts of education is the skillful concealment of evildoing by those in positions of power? 578 Does this boy know,"said the voice of the television,"that he is cutting his own throat? |
| 578 | Is this not a wonderful world we live in? |
| 578 | The neighbor planted his rice? 578 What can you accomplish in your frenzied condition?" |
| 578 | What? 578 A duty to feed the citizens( cities)? 578 And how about, if not eradicating the cities, at least resolving to shrink the cities? 578 And is there in this real country any place where pollution can be produced? 578 And the reply is,So you have no need for loans or farm machinery or fertilizer, do you? |
| 578 | And what did they do to the remaining small- scale farmers? |
| 578 | And what happens if one replies in the following manner? |
| 578 | Are there no mountains in Japan? |
| 578 | Are we supposed to be thankful that, because of their activities, the Earth is more devastated minute by minute? |
| 578 | Are we supposed to be thankful when people go abroad for sightseeing, sex, or study, and then come back bug- eyed with amazement? |
| 578 | As long as one produces food only for oneself, why should it be necessary to keep watching one''s neighbors and worry about what they are doing? |
| 578 | But do we tolerate it when someone dumps his garbage in his neighbor''s house in order to keep his own clean? |
| 578 | But how about human beings? |
| 578 | But where on this depleted planet is the city going to find the land to nourish itself? |
| 578 | Can there truly be a reason why the farmers must be up in arms over this issue? |
| 578 | Can you view this merely as the misfortune of others? |
| 578 | Could there possibly be any other reason? |
| 578 | Could we hope that they wo n''t try to solve this problem by war? |
| 578 | Culture? |
| 578 | Did not Nature decree that we either gather or produce our own food? |
| 578 | Do you have the bravery to become independent of these shackles? |
| 578 | Do you not fear your master? |
| 578 | Freedom? |
| 578 | Has there ever been an instance in which cement was used for a purpose other than to plaster over the Land? |
| 578 | Has there ever been such an idiotic system? |
| 578 | Having thus listed some professions, I wonder if there is even one person living in the cities who can prove that he or she is an exception? |
| 578 | How can one destroy the life and cells of one''s food, thereby diminishing its effect? |
| 578 | How can one make things taste good, and stuff a lot into one''s stomach? |
| 578 | How can one, using utensils and heat and seasonings, make it possible to eat things which one can not ordinarily eat? |
| 578 | How can there be a reason for preserving such things when it means our own ruin? |
| 578 | How can we, during this time when the city still stands grandly before us, bring about conditions under which it will perish? |
| 578 | How could this possibly be stopped? |
| 578 | How much longer do you think you can live while sacrificing your own future? |
| 578 | I wonder if it was really the wish of Nature that the city come into being? |
| 578 | If evolution is the same as progress, then can we also say that it was progress when the dinosaurs became too big? |
| 578 | If the stable boy gets nice clothes, then why not a military uniform on a fox, and a fancy kimono on a badger? |
| 578 | If we plug up the nose, mouth, and anus of a human being, is it possible to continue living? |
| 578 | If you try to exchange 1,500 Sony transistor radios for one bag of rice, do you think the farmers will listen? |
| 578 | In order to keep themselves alive, what do wild[ 39] animals want, search for, and find value in? |
| 578 | In order to maintain this peace and prosperity how much evil( destruction, contamination, waste) must the city perpetrate? |
| 578 | Is It Possible to Produce Food without the City? |
| 578 | Is Stopping the Food Supply Possible? |
| 578 | Is it not exactly the same in the present day? |
| 578 | Is it possible that any government in the world could find the guts to make the rope for its own hanging? |
| 578 | Is it that the scale is different? |
| 578 | Is it to see the rare beauty of foreign scenery? |
| 578 | Is the reader aware that the hull portion of cooked brown rice passes through the gut and is found in great quantity in one''s excrement? |
| 578 | Is there any room in this kind of agriculture for contamination, destruction, and profligacy? |
| 578 | Is there no ocean? |
| 578 | Is this not the reason the co- op, whether it be loans or sales, constantly exploits the farmers? |
| 578 | Is this the best idea that the elite bureaucrats in the Ministry of Agriculture could come up with? |
| 578 | Must we continue with it even if it means self- destruction? |
| 578 | Must we maintain it even if it brings about a crisis? |
| 578 | Must we still pursue it even if it drives us to catastrophe? |
| 578 | One ca n''t keep food on the table by being a farmer"? |
| 578 | Please give what you can..."It is only natural, they say, that the believers(?) |
| 578 | Progress? |
| 578 | Scholarship? |
| 578 | Should I be thankful for the activities of such people who, with each passing minute, bring about the increasing devastation of the Earth? |
| 578 | Should We Be"Thankful"for Urban Civilization? |
| 578 | Should the multitudes of buildings collapse, how would they dispose of the mountains of rubble? |
| 578 | So what is all the excitement over a three or four months''excess? |
| 578 | The City''s Origins When did the city make its appearance in Japan? |
| 578 | The Land Is Nature Itself And now we arrive at the obvious question-- who shall possess the Land? |
| 578 | The Mammonistic Farmers Can not Become Revolutionaries Would it be possible, then, for the farmers to refuse to sell? |
| 578 | The city comes back with,"Do n''t you realize how helpful education is in the formation of human character?" |
| 578 | The city: Is it not the crystallization of human greed and wickedness? |
| 578 | The famous Meiji- era Marxist, Dr. Kawakami Hajime, lamented, saying,"If agriculture declines, how can business and industry prosper?" |
| 578 | The neighbor got a new combine? |
| 578 | The net of Heaven is coarse, but allows nothing to escape[ 4]-- is it possible that Nature will miss this or generously overlook it? |
| 578 | To the question,"Science is the standard for everything; if we can not believe in science, then what must we believe in?" |
| 578 | Was this the reason Marx chose the city laborers as the soldiers in his revolution instead of the farmers? |
| 578 | What Do We Need Most in Order to Guarantee Our Survival? |
| 578 | What are all these people whizzing off to other countries for, on the jets that boast of being the worst polluters? |
| 578 | What great catastrophes must the city bring down upon humanity and the Earth? |
| 578 | What is more, as long as one has to rip it off, why not grab the best( even dogs and cats take the best first)? |
| 578 | What need is there of money, or of living in fear of the self- destruction brought about by money? |
| 578 | What wild animal has ever tried to make the Land its private possession, and then used it for its own selfish purposes? |
| 578 | What? |
| 578 | Who are they kidding? |
| 578 | Who was it that promoted the eating of bread( that considered eating rice bad) and increased the imports of wheat? |
| 578 | Why Feed the Hand that Pollutes? |
| 578 | Why do n''t the cities build their nuclear reactors right in the middle of the cities? |
| 578 | Why do n''t they build them in one of their seaside industrial zones? |
| 578 | Why is it wrong to say"Stop driving others into poverty so that you can, by their sacrifices, live an extravagant life"? |
| 578 | Why was it that way? |
| 578 | Will the city perish because of petroleum''s poisons, or because of its disappearance? |
| 578 | Will we still have to defend it even after we are gone? |
| 578 | Your want to research foreign sexual customs? |
| 578 | [ 10] Will human beings in the end be crushed under the load of their merchandise and trash? |
| 578 | [ 19] Has humanity finally been marked for ruin? |
| 578 | [ 29] What could be more important to us than our own survival? |
| 578 | [ 34] Why is it cruel and seditious to say"Give up being a robber"? |
| 578 | [ 3] Why must they go to such lengths to stimulate the economy? |
| 578 | [ 5] How is this different from the arrogance of the feudal lords and landlords? |
| 12428 | And first, Are there no strangers, whom we oppress? 12428 But necessity is pretended, the name under which every enormity is attempted to be justified; and after all, What is the necessity? |
| 12428 | Let vacant bards display their boasted woes; Shall I the mockery of grief display? 12428 When the grim lion urg''d his cruel chase, When the stern panther sought his midnight prey, What fate reserv''d me for this Christian race? |
| 12428 | Why then am I devoid of all to live That manly comforts to a man can give? 12428 And have they not the same sensibility? 12428 And what could the commitee have done without the parliamentary aid of Mr. Wilberforce? 12428 And what man, seeing this, And having human feelings, does not blush And hang his head to think himself a man? 12428 And what object is that, which first obtrudes itself upon our sight? 12428 And whither shall we go now? 12428 And yet what would my worthy friend have said, if in this first instance I had opposed him? 12428 Are not our feelings usually affected according to the situation, or the magnitude, or the importance of these? 12428 Are they not men as well as we? 12428 Are they not more or less elevated, again, as we have found it more or less considerable in extent? 12428 But are we relieved even here from afflicting spectacles? 12428 But how can we be said to love our brethren, who bring, or, for selfish ends, keep them, in bondage? 12428 But how would every such successive improvement of their condition operate, but to bring them nearer to the state of freemen? 12428 But let us leave the cries of this unfortunate woman, and hasten into another district:--And what do we first see here? 12428 But there the question still recurred,Are these things true?" |
| 12428 | But were no others lost besides the one hundred and twenty and the twelve? |
| 12428 | But what then, say these sincere worshippers of mammon? |
| 12428 | But why did he not give his own sentiments boldly to the world on this great question? |
| 12428 | But why, when our eyelids are but just closed, do we find ourselves thus suddenly awakened? |
| 12428 | But would he say that these were all he had lost in that voyage? |
| 12428 | By giving birth to that misery themselves, do they not become abandoned? |
| 12428 | Can those have nothing to answer for, who separate the faithful ties which nature and religion have created? |
| 12428 | Did the inquiry then before the privy council prove a loss of time? |
| 12428 | Did your slaves ever complain to you of their unhappiness amidst their native woods and deserts? |
| 12428 | Do the moral feelings of those persons escape without injury, whose hearts are hardened? |
| 12428 | Do we act consistently with this noble principle, who lay such heavy burthens on our fellow- creatures? |
| 12428 | Does one man obtain a victory over his corrupt affections? |
| 12428 | For if he, who makes the virtuous attempt, should be prevented by death from succeeding in it, can he not speak, though in the tomb? |
| 12428 | For if, to avoid egotism, I should write, as many have done, in the third person, what would this profit me? |
| 12428 | For in considerations of this kind, are we not usually influenced by circumstances? |
| 12428 | For what was more natural than that William Dillwyn, who was born and who had resided long in America, should have connections there? |
| 12428 | For what, for example, could I myself have done if I had not derived so much assistance from the commitee? |
| 12428 | Have not these unfortunate Africans, who meet with the same cruel fate, the same right? |
| 12428 | Have they not enabled them to state that this trade began in piracy, and that it was continued upon the principles of force? |
| 12428 | Have we navigated and conquered to save, to civilize, and to instruct; or to oppress, to plunder, and to destroy? |
| 12428 | He asked me, first, whether, if the slaves were emancipated, there would not be much confusion in the islands? |
| 12428 | How long shall we continue a practice which policy rejects, justice condemns, and piety revolts at?" |
| 12428 | How shall I describe their feelings, as exposed to all the personal indignities, which lawless appetite or brutal passion may suggest? |
| 12428 | How shall I give an idea of their agony, when under various punishments and tortures for their reputed crimes? |
| 12428 | I questioned whether some thousand pounds would not be necessary, and from whence was such a sum to come? |
| 12428 | In a twelvemonth, then, what must be the proportion of the dead? |
| 12428 | In seeing misery stalk daily over the land, do not all become insensibly hardened? |
| 12428 | In the case of such an event large funds also would be wanted, and who so proper to procure and manage them as these? |
| 12428 | Is no injustice manifest in the land, where the prince, unfaithful to his duty, seizes his innocent subjects, and sells them for slaves? |
| 12428 | Is there no crime in perpetuating these evils among their innocent offspring? |
| 12428 | Is there no injustice in forcing men to labour without wages? |
| 12428 | Not one of the cases had yet been pleaded on the broad ground,"Whether an African slave coming into England became free?" |
| 12428 | Or can the Spirit of God, by which we have always professed to be led, be the author of those oppressive and unrighteous measures? |
| 12428 | Ormond, after having talked with him some time, said,"Well, then, you believe Peter Green was actually murdered?" |
| 12428 | Shall foreign plagues infest this teeming land, And more than sea- born monsters plough the main? |
| 12428 | Ships were going occasionally from the port of London to Africa, and why could I not get on board them and examine for myself? |
| 12428 | Soon after this there was a general cry of"Will you take me too?" |
| 12428 | The great question was, what was I to do? |
| 12428 | The question was-"Whether a slave, by coming into England, became free?" |
| 12428 | The whole country, he said, had petitioned; and was it any satisfaction to the country to be told, that the commitee of privy council were inquiring? |
| 12428 | Then what is man? |
| 12428 | They would have decried the policy of the measure of the abolition;--and where had it been proved? |
| 12428 | They would have demanded a reverse of it; and might they not, in cooler moments, have succeeded? |
| 12428 | This work must be a work of many; and who so proper to assist in it as they, who had before so honourably laboured in it? |
| 12428 | Thus,"And what have ye to do with me O Tyre and Sidon, and all the coasts of Palestine? |
| 12428 | To the latter, he proposed the following:"Anne liceat Invitos in Servitutem dare?" |
| 12428 | To what end do we profess a religion whose dictates we so flagrantly violate? |
| 12428 | Was he not then one of the very persons, whom I had so long been seeking, but in vain? |
| 12428 | We have no Slaves at home-- then why abroad? |
| 12428 | Were you not made miserable by your debased situation there? |
| 12428 | What is that sudden rustling among the leaves? |
| 12428 | What is the meaning of the noise around us, of the trampling of people''s feet, of the rustling of the bow, the quiver, and the lance? |
| 12428 | What savage race protects this impious gain? |
| 12428 | What would be the consequence? |
| 12428 | Where are those rights? |
| 12428 | Where else is the temper subject to such frequent irritation, or passion to such little control? |
| 12428 | Wherefore have we that pattern of goodness and humanity, if we refuse to follow it? |
| 12428 | Who hath stamped upon them so sacred a character as to silence mine?" |
| 12428 | Who is he, that just now started across the narrow pathway, as if afraid of a human face? |
| 12428 | Who is that wretched woman, whom we discover under that noble tree, wringing her hands, and beating her breast, as if in the agonies of despair? |
| 12428 | Who knew any thing of what was doing by the commitee of privy council, or what progress they were making? |
| 12428 | Why are those persons flying from our approach, and hiding themselves in yon darkest thicket? |
| 12428 | Why did he refuse to give it? |
| 12428 | Will not his works still breathe his sentiments upon it? |
| 12428 | Will not the blessings which we have abused loudly testify against us? |
| 12428 | Will not the blood which we have shed cry from the ground for vengeance upon our sins?" |
| 12428 | have you laugh your fill? |
| 12428 | or,"Is it right to make slaves of others against their will?" |
| 12428 | what is there, in the infinite abuses of society, which does not shock them? |
| 31302 | And how has it been in respect of our own nation and government, the United States? |
| 31302 | And who shall gainsay, or_ who dare_ gainsay, that what God does is not right? |
| 31302 | And why not continue on giving the names of his other sons as in all other genealogies? |
| 31302 | But did God call Adam_ man_, after he had created him? |
| 31302 | But, why so? |
| 31302 | Could not the curse affect Canaan as readily? |
| 31302 | Created before them? |
| 31302 | Did he object to Mizraim and his descendants building those immense cities which they built on the Nile? |
| 31302 | Did not the daughters of Lot see the nakedness of their father in a much more unseemly manner? |
| 31302 | Did the curse of Jacob, produce this effect on Simeon and Levi? |
| 31302 | Did the curse produce this effect on him? |
| 31302 | Did this curse kink their hair, flatten their skulls, blacken their skin and flatten their nose? |
| 31302 | Does not each generation, morally stand before God, on their own responsibility in regard to sin? |
| 31302 | Else why build such a tower? |
| 31302 | HAS HE A SOUL? |
| 31302 | Has God ever changed any beings from the_ order_ in which he created them since he made the world? |
| 31302 | Has he a Soul? |
| 31302 | Has he created any beings since he made Adam? |
| 31302 | Has he ever intimated in any way that he would do so? |
| 31302 | Has_ any_ animal so changed from their creation that we can not recognize them now? |
| 31302 | Have such reasoners thought of the destruction, the_ certain_ destruction, to their own theory, this assumption would entail upon them? |
| 31302 | He cursed Cain-- did it affect his skin, his hair, his forehead, his nose or his lips? |
| 31302 | How did Mizraim come to a knowledge of the ingredients to be used, and how to use them? |
| 31302 | How did he get in there, and in what station or capacity? |
| 31302 | How do we know it? |
| 31302 | How do we know this? |
| 31302 | How is it that we say that the horse was created before Adam? |
| 31302 | How then, could the cumulative sins of one generation be passed to the next succeeding one, to their_ moral_ injury or detriment? |
| 31302 | How were they to know it? |
| 31302 | How will they decide it? |
| 31302 | How, then, can any man_ assert that he did make or change a white man_ into a black_ negro_, and say not_ one word_ about it? |
| 31302 | IS HE A DESCENDANT OF ADAM AND EVE? |
| 31302 | IS HE THE PROGENY OF HAM? |
| 31302 | If all the beasts, cattle, etc., were not involved in the sin of their federal head, why did God destroy them at the flood? |
| 31302 | If not, why did God destroy it? |
| 31302 | If the crime that brought destruction on the world was the sin of Adam''s race alone, why destroy the_ innocent_ beasts, cattle, etc.? |
| 31302 | If they were the natural descendants of Adam and Eve, would they not have been as much entitled to hold, occupy and enjoy it as Abraham or any other? |
| 31302 | In short, did God ever object to any of the known descendants of Adam and Eve building a city, or as many as they might choose to build? |
| 31302 | Is he a descendant of Adam and Eve? |
| 31302 | Is he the progeny of Ham? |
| 31302 | Let us inquire? |
| 31302 | Let us now ask: Was not their tower an_ intended_ offense to, and defiance of, God? |
| 31302 | Let us see if we can find_ that_ something? |
| 31302 | Now, reader, are these things true? |
| 31302 | Now, where did Ham''s negro wife come from? |
| 31302 | Now, which will my countrymen do? |
| 31302 | Now_ how many_, and what_ sort_ of ropes would the kinky- headed negro have furnished, had the inhabitants been negroes? |
| 31302 | OR IS HE A BEAST IN GOD''S NOMENCLATURE? |
| 31302 | Out of this arises the question, what was the color of these three brothers-- were they and their descendants black or white? |
| 31302 | She did not come out of the ark? |
| 31302 | She was not on earth? |
| 31302 | Surely its effects would be as great on one person as another? |
| 31302 | THE NEGRO: WHAT IS HIS ETHNOLOGICAL STATUS? |
| 31302 | Then we ask, again, why not the negro as readily as the white man or the horse? |
| 31302 | Then we ask, what_ righteousness_, what_ kind_ of righteousness was it that was thus preached by such men? |
| 31302 | Then why doom them and their flocks and herds to extermination, and except the families of Sidon and Heth, his two other sons? |
| 31302 | Then why save one and doom the other? |
| 31302 | Then, if it did not make the black negro of Canaan, how could it have produced_ that effect_ on Ham, Canaan''s father? |
| 31302 | Then, what could be the reason that could cause God to come down from heaven to prevent_ these_ people from building it? |
| 31302 | Then, what? |
| 31302 | Then, why say that the negro has? |
| 31302 | These things being so, now what? |
| 31302 | WHAT IS HIS RELATION TO THE WHITE RACE? |
| 31302 | WHAT IS HIS STATUS AS FIXED BY GOD IN CREATION? |
| 31302 | Was it moral crimes confined to Adam''s race? |
| 31302 | Was not Canaan as much and no more the father of these_ ites_, than he was of Sidon and Heth? |
| 31302 | Was not Canaan, the father of these_ ites_, a grandson of Noah, and as much related to the Hebrews as were the children of Esau, Moab and Ammon? |
| 31302 | We do not ask if this is probable; but we do ask, if it is within the bounds_ of possibility_ to believe it? |
| 31302 | Were they angels? |
| 31302 | Were they from heaven? |
| 31302 | Were they morally any better, except as to their not being the progeny of amalgamation with negroes? |
| 31302 | What crimes had they committed, that had not been before committed by the pure descendants of Noah? |
| 31302 | What does this teach? |
| 31302 | What does_ it mean_? |
| 31302 | What iniquity had the little children and nursing infants been guilty of, that such a terrible fate should overwhelm them? |
| 31302 | What is his Status as fixed by God in creation? |
| 31302 | What strong foundation have we people of the United States in God''s mercy and_ forbearance_ in this incident? |
| 31302 | What value do you place on this testimony prepared and ordained by God himself, as_ his testimony to the worth_ of the_ white race_? |
| 31302 | What was this crime? |
| 31302 | What_ men_ were they, then on earth, that_ then began_ to call on the name of the Lord? |
| 31302 | When all things were created, God not only pronounced them good, but"very good;"then why destroy these innocent(?) |
| 31302 | Where did he get the idea from? |
| 31302 | Where was his negro wife to be had? |
| 31302 | Who are_ these men_ that_ then began_ to call on the Lord? |
| 31302 | Who established it and its_ noble principles_? |
| 31302 | Who made this government? |
| 31302 | Who was it that caused God to repent and to be grieved at his heart, that he had made_ man_? |
| 31302 | Who were these sons of God? |
| 31302 | Who were they then? |
| 31302 | Who were they, then? |
| 31302 | Why did God require that_ only_ the children of Ham should be embalmed, of all then on earth? |
| 31302 | Why did he not destroy the towers, obelisks and pyramids, built by Mizraim and his descendants, on the banks of the Nile? |
| 31302 | Why except those, and doom these to extermination? |
| 31302 | Why not the negro? |
| 31302 | Why should God object to_ their_ building a city, if they were the descendants of Adam and Eve? |
| 31302 | Why should God thus afflict_ them_ for another''s crime, if they were free and innocent of that crime? |
| 31302 | Why this conflict of the one great lawgiver, if these Canaanites were God''s children through Adam? |
| 31302 | Why this suffix of_ ite_ to_ their_ names? |
| 31302 | Why this terrible order of extermination given? |
| 31302 | Why was it, that the children of Ham alone did this? |
| 31302 | Will not the Lord of the whole earth do right? |
| 31302 | Will the people of the United States make another,_ and the last_? |
| 31302 | Will the people of the United States, now furnish the sixth? |
| 31302 | Will we prove worthy? |
| 31302 | Will_ you_ place yourselves alongside of that being, and against God? |
| 31302 | Would it not be wisdom to heed it now? |
| 31302 | _ What is his Ethnological Status? |
| 31302 | and given by God himself? |
| 31302 | beasts, cattle, etc., for Adam''s sin or wrong- doing? |
| 31302 | did it produce this effect on the man who would make a graven image? |
| 31302 | did it produce this effect on the man who would rebuild Jericho? |
| 31302 | did it produce this effect on those, who maketh the blind to wander out of the way? |
| 31302 | did it produce this effect on those, who perverteth the judgment of the stranger, the fatherless and the widow? |
| 31302 | or is he a Beast, in God''s nomenclature? |
| 31302 | what this corruption? |
| 10611 | But who are you, who pretend to judge[103] of another man''s happiness? 10611 But why then,"replies the honest African,"do they suffer this? |
| 10611 | Quid tu me verò libertate territas? 10611 _ Imagination!_ who can sing thy force, Or who describe the swiftness of thy course? |
| 10611 | --But can_ laws_ alter the nature of vice? |
| 10611 | --But what is that which strikes their ears? |
| 10611 | 23,"Can the à � thiopian change his colour, or the leopard his spots?" |
| 10611 | And here, what a dreadful argument presents itself against you_ receivers_? |
| 10611 | And indeed, how can it be expected that they should? |
| 10611 | And is this wonderful, when, you_ receivers_ depress their senses by hunger? |
| 10611 | And who is there, that would not have done the same thing, in the same situation? |
| 10611 | And why are these dismal cries in vain?" |
| 10611 | Are they not names, assumed either from_ injury_ or_ ambition_?" |
| 10611 | But can they be well- disposed to their oppressors? |
| 10611 | But do we mention punishment? |
| 10611 | But do you allude to that execrable code, that_ authorises murder_? |
| 10611 | But for what purpose is the punishment applied? |
| 10611 | But how does the_ slave_ differ from his_ master_, but by_ chance_? |
| 10611 | But how shall we attempt to ascertain it? |
| 10611 | But if the_ offending_ party inflicted slavery on the persons of the vanquished, by what right did they inflict it? |
| 10611 | But in what does this superiour happiness consist? |
| 10611 | But what do you say to that long catalogue of offences, which you punish, and of which no people but yourselves take cognizance at all? |
| 10611 | But what is this to you_ receivers_? |
| 10611 | But what shall we say to the_ hypothesis_? |
| 10611 | But which are we to believe on the occasion? |
| 10611 | But who are you, that have this exclusive charter of trading in the liberties of mankind? |
| 10611 | But who are you, that thus take into slavery so many people? |
| 10611 | But why this unusual mirth, if their departed brother has left an happy place? |
| 10611 | Can the southern winds convey them to the ear of Britain? |
| 10611 | Did your slaves ever complain to you of their unhappiness, amidst their native woods and desarts? |
| 10611 | Do we allude to that awful day, which shall surely come, when the master shall behold his murdered negroe face to face? |
| 10611 | Do we allude to that punishment, which shall be inflicted on men as individuals, in a future life? |
| 10611 | Do you call them obstinate then, because they refuse your favours? |
| 10611 | Do you call them ungrateful, because they make you this return? |
| 10611 | Do you live in_ Spain_, or in_ France_, or in_ Britain_? |
| 10611 | Do you not see the tears that now trickle down my cheeks? |
| 10611 | Do you thus judge from your own constitution and frame? |
| 10611 | Does a man set fire to an house, for the purpose of rescuing the inhabitants from the flames? |
| 10611 | Does he defend those therefore, whom he invades at discretion with the sword? |
| 10611 | Does he protect the property of those, whose houses and effects he consigns at discretion to the flames? |
| 10611 | For has he no pleasure in the thought, that he lives in his_ own country_, and among his relations and friends? |
| 10611 | For how must they detest the very name of_ Christians_, when you_ Christians_ are deformed by so many and dreadful vices? |
| 10611 | For how shamefully must these unfortunate people have been oppressed? |
| 10611 | For if this is the mode to be adopted in literary disputes, what writer can be safe? |
| 10611 | For if this restraining principle be as powerful as it is imagined, why does not the general conduct of men afford us a better picture? |
| 10611 | For what is it that awakens the abilities of men, and distinguishes them from the common herd? |
| 10611 | Had there been a necessity, where had the wretched captive survived to be broken with chains and servitude? |
| 10611 | Have the unfortunate_ convicts_ been guilty of injury to_ you_? |
| 10611 | Have the wretched Africans formally resigned their freedom? |
| 10611 | Have they broken_ your_ treaties? |
| 10611 | Have they carried_ your_ wives and children into slavery, that_ you_ should thus retaliate? |
| 10611 | Have they offended_ you_ even by word or gesture? |
| 10611 | Have they plundered_ your_ ships? |
| 10611 | Have you any other claim upon their obedience, than that of force? |
| 10611 | Have you not heard me sigh, while we have been talking? |
| 10611 | Hence Polybius;"What must they,( the Mantinenses) suffer, to receive the punishment they deserve? |
| 10611 | How could his design have been accomplished? |
| 10611 | How many have leaped into the sea? |
| 10611 | How many have pined to death, that, even at the expence of their lives, they might fly from your_ benevolence_? |
| 10611 | How must they detest that system of religion, which appears to resist the natural rights of men, and to give a sanction to brutality and murder? |
| 10611 | How then shall we attempt to ascertain it? |
| 10611 | How then shall we begin the refutation? |
| 10611 | How then shall we begin? |
| 10611 | Is it applied then, that others may be deterred from the same proceedings, and that crimes may become less frequent? |
| 10611 | Is it applied to amend the manners of the criminal, and thus render him a better subject? |
| 10611 | Is it not frequently the hope of temporary honours, or a lasting fame? |
| 10611 | Is it not often the amiable hope of becoming serviceable to individuals, or the state? |
| 10611 | Is it not often the hope of riches, or of power? |
| 10611 | Now what must we justly conclude from such a supposition? |
| 10611 | Now, which of these are we to believe on the occasion? |
| 10611 | Or if he has been taken from the care of an indulgent master, who consulted his pleasures, and administered to his wants? |
| 10611 | Or that he might taste the charms of liberty with_ a greater relish_? |
| 10611 | Or who is there, that will not be deterred from taking up his pen in the cause of virtue? |
| 10611 | Or, do we allude to that punishment, which may be inflicted on them here, as members of a wicked community? |
| 10611 | Or, rather, let me ask, did they ever cease complaining of their condition under you their lordly masters? |
| 10611 | Shall we enumerate the many important services, that they rendered both to the individuals and the community, under whom they lived? |
| 10611 | Shall we enumerate the many instances of fidelity, patience, or valour, that are recorded of the_ servile_ race? |
| 10611 | Shall we look into the various climates of the earth, see the colour that generally prevails in the inhabitants of each, and apply the rule? |
| 10611 | Shall we say with Seneca, who saw many of the slaves in question,"What is a_ knight_, or a_ libertine_, or a_ slave_? |
| 10611 | That he can never be_ sold_ as a beast? |
| 10611 | That he can not even be struck_ with impunity_? |
| 10611 | That he can speak his mind_ without the fear of the lash_? |
| 10611 | That he is actually_ free_, and that his children will be the same? |
| 10611 | That state which each man, under the guidance of his maker, forms for himself, and not one man for another? |
| 10611 | The first point, that occurs to be ascertained, is,"What part of the skin is the seat of colour?" |
| 10611 | This is generally true: but would any one of them make himself a_ slave_ for years, that he might run the chance of the pleasures of_ manumission_? |
| 10611 | Those, who endeavour to dress_ vice_ in the habit of_ virtue_, or those, who derive their opinion from their own feelings? |
| 10611 | What answer do you make to this? |
| 10611 | What arguments can they possibly bring in their defence? |
| 10611 | What can possibly be the cause? |
| 10611 | What is he to do in such a trying situation? |
| 10611 | What is_ Christianity_, but a system of_ murder_ and_ oppression_? |
| 10611 | What then must be their sufferings, to be forced for ever from their country, which includes them all? |
| 10611 | What treaty of empire can they produce, by which their innocent victims ever resigned to them the least portion of their_ liberty_? |
| 10611 | What would the reader have thought on the occasion? |
| 10611 | When a train of mutilated slaves shall be brought against him? |
| 10611 | When did He say, that you should have the privilege of selling others, and that others should not have the privilege of selling you? |
| 10611 | When did nature, or rather the Author of nature, make so partial a distinction between you and them? |

| 10611 | Would he have believed the fact? |
| 10611 | Would you not resist it with a safe conscience? |
| 10611 | can the most credulous believe it? |
| 10611 | do you thus judge from your own feelings? |

| 32749 | but,''How much can I harvest with such help as I can get?''" |
| 12507 | Is there, as you sometimes tell us, Is there one, who rules on high; Has he bid you buy and sell us, Speaking from his throne, the sky? 12507 Why did all- creating Nature Make the plant, for which we toil? |
| 12507 | Again, as to compacts, had the Africans ever been parties to these? |
| 12507 | An honourable member had asked on a former day,"Is it an excuse for robbery, to say that another would have committed it?" |
| 12507 | And, after all these horrors, what was their destiny? |
| 12507 | Ask him, if your knotted scourges, Fetters, blood- extorting screws, Are the means, which duty urges Agents of his will to use? |
| 12507 | Because a practice had existed, did it necessarily follow that it was just? |
| 12507 | Besides, by what law would you enter into every man''s domestic concerns, and regulate the interior economy of his house and plantation? |
| 12507 | Besides, how could we distinguish between those who were justly or unjustly reduced to it? |
| 12507 | But allowing it its full force, would there be no honour in the dereliction of such a commerce? |
| 12507 | But did cruelty cause the excess of deaths above births in the city of London? |
| 12507 | But did not the Slave- trade convey ideas the very reverse of this definition? |
| 12507 | But even if France were not to relinquish the trade, how could we, if justice required its abolition, hesitate as to our part of it? |
| 12507 | But even if acts of barbarity should be related to them, how were they to come at the proof of them? |
| 12507 | But from whom did the motion for further evidence( when that of the privy council was refused) originate, but from the enemies of the abolition? |
| 12507 | But had such a trade as the Slave- trade ever existed before? |
| 12507 | But how did these savages behave, when they had these different persons in their power? |
| 12507 | But how did we know this? |
| 12507 | But how was it possible, that to a demand so exceedingly fluctuating the supply should always exactly accommodate itself? |
| 12507 | But how was this reconcileable with facts? |
| 12507 | But how? |
| 12507 | But if so, what would become of the argument of his honourable friend? |
| 12507 | But if they and their masters hated this same measure, how was this coincidence of sentiment to give birth to insurrection? |
| 12507 | But if this statement was just, would not the abolition be beneficial to them? |
| 12507 | But if we were to enforce this act with all the powers of the country, how could it fail to be effectual? |
| 12507 | But it was said to him,"Did you never order such a thing to be done?" |
| 12507 | But might he not be reduced to this state very unjustly, and yet by no means contrary to the African laws? |
| 12507 | But on what principles did we usually respect the institutions of antiquity? |
| 12507 | But suppose it were allowed, that self- interest might operate some little against cruelty; yet where was the interest of the overseer or the driver? |
| 12507 | But to whom? |
| 12507 | But upon whom did the cruelties, thus arising out of the prosecution of this barbarous traffic, fall? |
| 12507 | But was Africa the place, where Englishmen, above all others, were to go to find out and punish adulterers? |
| 12507 | But was not the reason obvious? |
| 12507 | But was not this the insanity of arbitrary power? |
| 12507 | But was this the case with the Slave- trade? |
| 12507 | But were they prepared to pay the price of their virtue on this great occasion? |
| 12507 | But what had Mr. Long said, when he addressed himself to those planters, who were desirous of attempting improvements on their estates? |
| 12507 | But what kind of morality was this? |
| 12507 | But what regulations by the British Parliament could prevent these contagions, or remove them suddenly, when they appeared? |
| 12507 | But what right had we to be judges of their condition? |
| 12507 | But what said the historians of Africa, long before the question of the abolition was started? |
| 12507 | But what should happen, just at this moment, to increase the clamour against us? |
| 12507 | But what should we say, if it should turn out, that we were the causes of those very cruelties, which we affected to prevent? |
| 12507 | But what then? |
| 12507 | But what was it that we wished to abolish? |
| 12507 | But what was the sequel? |
| 12507 | But what was this but an acknowledgment of the manner, in which these miserable beings were treated? |
| 12507 | But what would be the amount of it? |
| 12507 | But when the question was put to Mr. Ross, did he not answer,"that he would not insult the latter by a comparison?" |
| 12507 | But where was the analogy of the cases? |
| 12507 | But who could return these to their homes, or make them compensation for their sufferings during their long journeyings? |
| 12507 | But why had the trade ever been permitted at all? |
| 12507 | But, after the child was dead, whom should the barbarian select to throw it overboard, but the wretched mother? |
| 12507 | But, if it were not so, ought the first nation in the world to condescend to be the executioner of savages? |
| 12507 | But, supposing that they were all to continue it, would not our honour be the greater? |
| 12507 | By what means was it kept up in Africa? |
| 12507 | Could it be called humanity to forbear from committing murder? |
| 12507 | Could they be in all places at once? |
| 12507 | Could this language be applied to the present state of West India slavery? |
| 12507 | Could we establish tribunals all along the coast, and in every ship, to find it out? |
| 12507 | Did he not also forget the sacred attention, which Parliament had ever shown to the private interests and patrimonial rights of individuals? |
| 12507 | Did he not by this position confound all notions of right and wrong in human institutions? |
| 12507 | Did it become us to cast the first stone? |
| 12507 | Did not all of them agree with Mr. Long, that the great danger in the West Indies arose from the importation of the African slaves there? |
| 12507 | Did they not instantly retaliate by murdering them all? |
| 12507 | Five years had now elapsed since the question was first started, and what had any of them done? |
| 12507 | For any thing he knew, it might be physically true, that human blood was the best manure for the land; but who ought to shed it on that account? |
| 12507 | For what was it but murder to pursue a practice, which produced untimely death to thousands of innocent and helpless beings? |
| 12507 | Had any thing happened to change the opinion of members since? |
| 12507 | Had he not ears? |
| 12507 | Had he not organs, senses, and passions? |
| 12507 | Had it begun in principles of justice or national honour, which the changes of the world alone had impaired? |
| 12507 | Had it not been acknowledged by his opponents, that the custom of ransoming slaves prevailed in Africa? |
| 12507 | Had not Denmark given a noble example to the contrary? |
| 12507 | Had not an African eyes? |
| 12507 | Had not its calamities been imputed by its own deputies to the advocates for the abolition? |
| 12507 | Had not the House altered the import of foreign sugar into our islands? |
| 12507 | Had they not prohibited the exports of provisions from America to the same quarter? |
| 12507 | Had this been answered? |
| 12507 | Had we never heard of seamen being flogged from ship to ship, or of soldiers dying in the very act of punishment? |
| 12507 | He therefore asked his honourable friend, whether the period he had looked to was now arrived? |
| 12507 | How could Africa ever be civilized under it? |
| 12507 | How dared he then to use this selfish plea of interest against the voice of the generous sympathies of his nature? |
| 12507 | How then were we to decide this important question? |
| 12507 | How was it ever to be eradicated, if every nation was thus prudentially to wait till the concurrence of all the world should be obtained? |
| 12507 | How was this immense property and income to be preserved? |
| 12507 | If on the ground of a moral evil it was to be abolished at last, why ought it not now? |
| 12507 | If you poisoned him, would he not die? |
| 12507 | If you pricked him, would he not feel the puncture and bleed? |
| 12507 | If, in his public situation, he had then set his face against it, where would have been our hope? |
| 12507 | Me from my delights to sever, Me to torture, me to task? |
| 12507 | No idea could be more absurd: for, was it not its duty to correct abuses? |
| 12507 | Now how did this language sound? |
| 12507 | Now it would naturally be asked, Was not this captain also gibbered alive? |
| 12507 | Now the question was, how the people, thus going up these rivers, obtained their slaves? |
| 12507 | On what ground of theory or history did we act, when we supposed that she was never to be reclaimed? |
| 12507 | Should not we, on the other hand, be benefited by this change? |
| 12507 | Should we delay, then, to repair these incalculable injuries? |
| 12507 | That the Slaves then should have been guilty of great excesses was not to be wondered at; for where did they learn their cruelty? |
| 12507 | The body, though under affliction, may retain its shape; and, if it even perish, what is the loss of it but of worthless dust? |
| 12507 | The latter asked, who had punished him so dreadfully? |
| 12507 | Thus, for instance, what bill could alter the nature of the human passions? |
| 12507 | Was he then asking too much of the West Indians, to request a candid consideration of the real ground of their alarms? |
| 12507 | Was it not clear, that all argument, founded on the supposed pledge of Parliament, made against those who employed it? |
| 12507 | Was it not evident, that the planters thought it more convenient to buy them fit for work, than to breed them? |
| 12507 | Was it not folly to wait for the stream to run down before we crossed the bed of its channel? |
| 12507 | Was it not plain that she must suffer from it? |
| 12507 | Was it not the Slave- trade, which would destroy in time the cruel distinction he had mentioned? |
| 12507 | Was it not therefore idle to rely upon them for the accomplishment of it? |
| 12507 | Was it only at the outset that we could trace violence and injustice on the part of the Slave- trade? |
| 12507 | Was it possible to believe, that this number could have been legally convicted of crimes, for which they had justly forfeited their liberty? |
| 12507 | Was it then a prudent thing for them to rest on this commerce for the further improvement of their property? |
| 12507 | Was not the insanity of the masters of slave- ships to be accounted for on the same principles? |
| 12507 | Was not this a reasonable conclusion, when they, the deputies, had almost all the first men in the Assembly in their favour? |
| 12507 | Was not this an awful consideration for this country? |
| 12507 | Was not this request a proof of the frequency of such acts of rapine? |
| 12507 | Were ever any scenes of horror equal to those which had passed there? |
| 12507 | Were these then a people incapable of civilization? |
| 12507 | What advantages, for instance, would they derive from this pestilential commerce to their marine? |

| 12507 | What person would risk the comfort of his life by the exercise of so invidious an interference? |
| 12507 | What should we think of those, who should say, that it was their interest to injure us? |

| 12507 | What then would they say to their continuance year after year, and from age to age? |
| 12507 | What was the answer from Grenada? |
| 12507 | What was the inference from this moderate assertion, but that we might as well supply them ourselves? |
| 12507 | What was this but to say, that there were instruments in use, which left indelible marks behind them; and who would say, that these were used justly? |
| 12507 | What were the causes of the insurrections there? |
| 12507 | What would the house think, when by the concurring testimony of these the true history was laid open? |
| 12507 | When a criminal was justly executed, was not the execution justice to him who suffered, and humanity to the body of the people at large? |
| 12507 | When they went to rest, would not their dreams be frightful? |

| 12507 | Who ever read the facts recorded of Nero without suspecting he was mad? |
| 12507 | Who would endure such a law? |
| 12507 | Who would not be apt to impute insanity to Caligula-- or Domitian-- or Caracalla-- or Commodus-- or Heliogabalus? |
| 12507 | Why did we make laws to punish men? |
| 12507 | Why then should we promote them in the West Indies? |
| 12507 | Why was injustice to be suffered to remain for a single hour? |
| 12507 | Why were they then to be troubled again with arguments of this nature? |
| 12507 | Would any man estimate the character of the English nation by what was to be read in the records of the Old Bailey? |
| 12507 | Would it be nothing publicly to recognise great and just principles? |
| 12507 | Would not our virtue be the more signal? |
| 12507 | Would they not be obliged to come to us, in consequence of the cheapness of our manufactures, for what they wanted for the African market? |
| 12507 | Would they then sanction enormities, the bare recital of which made them shudder? |
| 12507 | and that a trade of this nature, carried on round her coasts, must extend violence and desolation to her very centre? |
| 12507 | and what abuses were greater than robbery and murder? |
| 12507 | and, if you wronged him, would he not revenge? |
| 12507 | do you buy me, who am a great trader?" |
| 12507 | had it to plead former services and glories in behalf of its present disgrace? |
| 12507 | that her savage manners must be rendered still more ferocious? |
| 12507 | were they goods and chattels? |
| 12507 | what proportion did this number bear to twelve hundred? |
| 12507 | whether the West Indies, at this hour, were not in a state, in which they could maintain their population? |
| 10633 | And first,--Are there no strangers whom we oppress? 10633 But necessity is pretended, the name under which every enormity is attempted to be justified; and after all, what is the necessity? |
| 10633 | An honourable member had asked on a former day,"Is it an excuse for robbery to say that another would hare committed it?" |
| 10633 | And have they not the same sensibility? |
| 10633 | And what could the committee have done without the parliamentary aid of Mr. Wilberforce? |
| 10633 | And what do we first see here? |
| 10633 | And what man, seeing this, And having human feelings, does not blush And hang his head to think himself a man? |
| 10633 | And what object is that which first obtrudes itself upon our sight? |
| 10633 | And whither shall we go now? |
| 10633 | And yet what would my worthy friend have said, if in this first instance I had opposed him? |
| 10633 | And, after all these horrors, what was their destiny? |
| 10633 | Are cruisers the only men over whom motives have no influence? |
| 10633 | Are not our feelings usually affected according to the situation, or the magnitude, or the importance of these? |
| 10633 | Are they not men as well as we? |
| 10633 | Are they not more or less elevated again, as we have found it more or less considerable in extent? |
| 10633 | Ask him, if your knotted scourges, Fetters, blood- extorting screws, Are the means, which duty urges Agents of his will to use? |
| 10633 | Because a practise had existed, did it necessarily follow that it was just? |
| 10633 | Besides, by what law would you enter into every man''s domestic concerns, and regulate the interior economy of his house and plantation? |
| 10633 | Besides, how could we distinguish between those who were justly or unjustly reduced to it? |
| 10633 | But allowing it its full force, would there be no honour in the dereliction of such a commerce? |
| 10633 | But are we relieved even here from afflicting spectacles? |
| 10633 | But before the last of these had left the council room, who should come up to me but Dr. Arnold? |
| 10633 | But did cruelty cause the excess of deaths above births in the city of London? |
| 10633 | But did not the Slave Trade convey ideas the very reverse of this definition? |
| 10633 | But even if France were not to relinquish the trade, how could we, if justice required its abolition, hesitate as to our part of it? |
| 10633 | But even if acts of barbarity should be related to them, how were they to come at the proof of them? |
| 10633 | But from whom did the motion for further evidence( when that of the privy council was refused) originate, but from the enemies of the abolition? |
| 10633 | But had such a trade as the Slave Trade ever existed before? |
| 10633 | But how can we be said to love our brethren who bring, or, for selfish ends, keep them in bondage? |
| 10633 | But how did these savages behave, when they had these different persons in their power? |
| 10633 | But how did we know this? |
| 10633 | But how was it possible, that to a demand so exceedingly fluctuating the supply should always exactly accommodate itself? |
| 10633 | But how was this reconcilable with facts? |
| 10633 | But how would every such successive improvement of their condition operate, but to bring them nearer to the state of freemen? |
| 10633 | But how? |
| 10633 | But if so, what would become of the argument of his honourable friend? |
| 10633 | But if they and their masters hated this same measure, how was this coincidence of sentiment to give birth to insurrections? |
| 10633 | But if this statement was just, would not the abolition be beneficial to them? |
| 10633 | But if we were to enforce this act with all the powers of the country, how could it fail to be effectual? |
| 10633 | But it was said to him,"Did you never order such a thing to be done?" |
| 10633 | But might he not be reduced to this state very unjustly, and yet by no means contrary to the African laws? |
| 10633 | But on what principles did we usually respect the institutions of antiquity? |
| 10633 | But suppose it were allowed that self- interest might operate some little against cruelty; yet where was the interest of the overseer or the driver? |
| 10633 | But suppose, for the sake of argument, that they were to take it up, what good would it do them? |
| 10633 | But there the question still recurred,"Are these things true?" |
| 10633 | But to what were these changes owing? |
| 10633 | But to whom? |
| 10633 | But upon whom did the cruelties, thus arising out of the prosecution of this barbarous traffic, fall? |
| 10633 | But was Africa the place, where Englishmen, above all others, were to go to find out and punish adultery? |
| 10633 | But was not the reason obvious? |
| 10633 | But was not this the insanity of arbitrary power? |
| 10633 | But was this the case with the Slave Trade? |
| 10633 | But were no others lost beside the one hundred and twenty and the twelve? |
| 10633 | But what had Mr. Long said, when he addressed himself to those planters, who were desirous of attempting improvements on their estates? |
| 10633 | But what kind of morality was this? |
| 10633 | But what regulations by the British parliament could prevent these contagions, or remove them suddenly, when they appeared? |
| 10633 | But what right had we to be judges of their condition? |
| 10633 | But what said the historians of Africa, long before the question of the abolition was started? |
| 10633 | But what should happen, just at this moment, to increase the clamour against us? |
| 10633 | But what should we say, if it should turn out, that we were the causes of those very cruelties, which we affected to prevent? |
| 10633 | But what then say these sincere worshippers of Mammon? |
| 10633 | But what then? |
| 10633 | But what was the sequel? |
| 10633 | But what was this but an acknowledgment of the manner, in which these miserable beings, were treated? |
| 10633 | But what would be the amount of it? |
| 10633 | But where was the analogy of the eases? |
| 10633 | But who could return these to their homes, or make them compensation for their sufferings during their long journeyings? |
| 10633 | But who had ever charged him with refusing to pay his debts? |
| 10633 | But why did he not give his own sentiments boldly to the world on this great question? |
| 10633 | But why had the trade ever been permitted at all? |
| 10633 | But why, when our eyelids are but just closed, do we find ourselves thus suddenly awakened? |
| 10633 | But would he say that these were all he had lost in that voyage? |
| 10633 | But, after the child was dead, whom should the barbarian select to throw it overboard, but the wretched mother? |
| 10633 | But, if it were not so, ought the first nation in the world to condescend to be the executioner of savages? |
| 10633 | But, supposing that they were all to continue it, would not our honour be the greater? |
| 10633 | By giving birth to that misery themselves, do they not become abandoned? |
| 10633 | By what means was it kept up in Africa? |
| 10633 | Can the direct and inevitable tendency of the head- money system be doubted? |
| 10633 | Can those have nothing to answer for, who separate the faithful ties which nature and religion have created? |
| 10633 | Could it be called humanity to forbear committing murder? |
| 10633 | Could they be in all places at once? |
| 10633 | Could this language be applied to the present state of West India slavery? |
| 10633 | Could we establish tribunals all along the coast, and in every ship, to find it out? |
| 10633 | Did he not also forget the sacred attention which parliament had ever shown to the private interests and patrimonial rights of individuals? |
| 10633 | Did he not by this position confound all notions of right and wrong in human institutions? |
| 10633 | Did it become us to cast the first stone? |
| 10633 | Did not all of them agree with Mr. Long, that the great danger in the West Indies arose from the importation of the African slaves there? |
| 10633 | Did the inquiry then before the privy council prove a loss of time? |
| 10633 | Did they not instantly retaliate by murdering them all? |
| 10633 | Did your slaves ever complain to you of their unhappiness amidst their native woods and deserts? |
| 10633 | Do the moral feelings of those persons escape without injury, whose hearts are hardened? |
| 10633 | Do we act consistently with this noble principle, who lay such heavy burdens on our fellow creatures? |
| 10633 | Does another fall prostrate beneath their power? |
| 10633 | Does one man obtain a victory over his corrupt affections? |
| 10633 | Five years had now elapsed since the question was first started, and what had any of them done? |
| 10633 | For anything he knew, it might be physically true, that human blood was the best manure for the land; but who ought to shed it on that account? |
| 10633 | For if he, who makes the virtuous attempt, should be prevented by death from succeeding in it, can he not speak, though in the tomb? |
| 10633 | For what was it but murder to pursue a practice, which produced untimely death to thousands of innocent and helpless beings? |
| 10633 | For what was more natural than that William Dillwyn, who was born and who had resided long in America, should have connexions there? |
| 10633 | For what, for example, could I myself have done if I had not derived so much assistance from the committee? |
| 10633 | For, in considerations of this kind, are we not usually influenced by circumstances? |
| 10633 | Had anything happened to change the opinion of members, since? |
| 10633 | Had he not ears? |
| 10633 | Had he not organs, senses, and passions? |
| 10633 | Had it begun in principles of justice or national honour, which the changes of the world alone had impaired? |
| 10633 | Had it not been acknowledged by his opponents that the custom of ransoming slaves prevailed in Africa? |
| 10633 | Had it to plead former services and glories in behalf of its present disgrace? |
| 10633 | Had not Denmark given a noble example to the contrary? |
| 10633 | Had not an African eyes? |
| 10633 | Had not its calamities been imputed by its own deputies to the advocates for the abolition? |
| 10633 | Had not the House altered the import of foreign sugar into our islands? |
| 10633 | Had this been answered? |
| 10633 | Had we never heard of seamen being flogged from ship to ship, or of soldiers dying in the very act of punishment? |
| 10633 | Have not these unfortunate Africans, who meet with the same cruel fate, the same right? |
| 10633 | Have they not enabled them to state that this trade began in piracy, and that it was continued upon the principles of force? |
| 10633 | Have we navigated and conquered to save, to civilize, and to instruct; or to oppress, to plunder, and to destroy? |
| 10633 | He asked me, first, whether, if the slaves were emancipated, there would not be much confusion in the islands? |
| 10633 | He then asked what the planters would do for labourers? |
| 10633 | He therefore asked his honourable friend, whether the period he had looked to was now arrived? |
| 10633 | How could Africa ever be civilized under it? |
| 10633 | How dared he, then, to use this selfish plea of interest against the voice of the generous sympathies of his nature? |
| 10633 | How had he been attacked? |
| 10633 | How long shall we continue a practice which policy rejects, justice condemns, and piety revolts at?" |
| 10633 | How shall I describe their feelings as exposed to all the personal indignities, which lawless appetite or brutal passion may suggest? |
| 10633 | How shall I give an idea of their agony when under various punishments and tortures for their reputed crimes? |
| 10633 | How then were we to decide this important question? |
| 10633 | How was this immense property and income to be preserved? |
| 10633 | I accordingly accepted this offer, and began by asking those present"how long it was likely that the present National Assembly would sit?" |
| 10633 | If on the ground of a moral evil it was to be abolished at last, why ought it not now? |
| 10633 | If you poisoned him, would he not die? |
| 10633 | If you pricked him, would he not feel the puncture, and bleed? |
| 10633 | If, in his public situation, he had then set his face against it, where would have been our hope? |
| 10633 | In a twelvemonth, then, what must be the proportion of the dead? |
| 10633 | In seeing misery stalk daily over the land, do not all become insensibly hardened? |
| 10633 | In the case of such an event large funds also would be wanted, and who so proper to procure and manage them as these? |
| 10633 | Is no injustice manifest in the land, where the prince, unfaithful to his duty, seizes his innocent subjects, and sells them for slaves? |
| 10633 | Is there no crime in perpetuating these evils among their innocent offspring? |
| 10633 | Is there no injustice in forcing men to labour without wages? |
| 10633 | Is there, as you sometimes tell us, Is there one, who rules on high; Has he bid you buy and sell us, Speaking from his throne, the sky? |
| 10633 | Let vacant bards display their boasted woes; Shall I the mockery of grief display? |
| 10633 | Now how did this language sound? |
| 10633 | Now it would naturally be asked, was not this captain also gibbeted alive? |
| 10633 | Now the question was, how the people, thus going up these rivers, obtained their slaves? |
| 10633 | On what ground of theory or history did we act, when we supposed she was never to be reclaimed? |
| 10633 | Or can the spirit of God, by which we have always professed to be led, be the author of these oppressive and unrighteous measures? |
| 10633 | Ormond, after having talked with him some time, said,"Well, then, you believe Peter Green was actually murdered?" |
| 10633 | Shall foreign plagues infest this teeming land, And more than sea- born monsters plough the main? |
| 10633 | Ships were going occasionally from the port of London to Africa, and why could I not get on board them and examine for myself? |
| 10633 | Should not we, on the other hand, be benefited by this change? |
| 10633 | Should we delay, then, to repair these incalculable injuries? |
| 10633 | Soon after this there was a general cry of"Will you take me, too?" |
| 10633 | Still in thought as free as ever, What are England''s rights, I ask, Me from my delights to sever, Me to torture, me to task? |
| 10633 | That the slaves then should have been guilty of great excesses, was not to be wondered at; for where did they learn their cruelty? |
| 10633 | The body, though under affliction, may retain its shape; and, if it even perish, what is the loss of it but of worthless dust? |
| 10633 | The great question was, what was I to do? |
| 10633 | The latter asked who had punished him so dreadfully? |
| 10633 | The question then was, how long they were to persevere in the crime of its continuance? |
| 10633 | The question then was, which of the two they were to take as their object? |
| 10633 | The whole country, he said, had petitioned; and was it any satisfaction to the country to be told, that the committee of privy council were inquiring? |
| 10633 | Then what is man? |
| 10633 | Then why offer a reward at all? |
| 10633 | Then, upon what ground necessary? |
| 10633 | They were advertised also, in the same papers, to be sold by auction, sometimes by themselves, and at others with horses, chaises, and harness? |
| 10633 | They would have decried the policy of the measure of the abolition; and where had it been proved? |
| 10633 | They would have demanded a reverse of it; and might they not in cooler moments have succeeded? |
| 10633 | This work must be a work of many; and who so proper to assist in it as they, who had before so honourably laboured in it? |
| 10633 | Thus, for instance, what bill could alter the nature of the human passions? |
| 10633 | Thus,"And what have ye to do with me, O Tyre and Sidon, and all the coasts of Palestine? |
| 10633 | To what end do we profess a religion whose dictates we so flagrantly violate? |
| 10633 | Was he not then one of the very persons, whom I had so long been seeking, but in vain? |
| 10633 | Was he then asking too much of the West Indians, to request a candid consideration of the real ground of their alarms? |
| 10633 | Was it not clear, that all argument, founded on the supposed pledge of Parliament, made against those who employed it? |
| 10633 | Was it not evident that the planters thought it more convenient to buy them fit for work, than to breed them? |
| 10633 | Was it not folly to wait for the stream to run down before we crossed the bed of its channel? |
| 10633 | Was it not plain that she must suffer from it? |
| 10633 | Was it not the Slave Trade, which would destroy in time the cruel distinction he had mentioned? |
| 10633 | Was it not, therefore, idle to rely upon them for the accomplishment of it? |
| 10633 | Was it only at the outset that we could trace violence and injustice on the part of the Slave Trade? |
| 10633 | Was it possible to believe that this number could have been legally convicted of crimes, for which they had justly forfeited their liberty? |
| 10633 | Was it then a prudent thing for them to rest on this commerce for the further improvement of their property? |
| 10633 | Was not the insanity of the masters of slave- ships to be accounted for on the same principles? |
| 10633 | Was not this a reasonable conclusion, when they, the deputies, had almost all the first men in the Assembly in their favour? |
| 10633 | Was not this an awful consideration for this country? |
| 10633 | Was not this request a proof of the frequency of such acts of rapine? |
| 10633 | We have no slaves at home-- then why abroad? |
| 10633 | Were ever any scenes of horror equal to those which had passed there? |
| 10633 | Were the oppressors and the oppressed so reconciled, that enmities ultimately ceased? |
| 10633 | Were these, then, a people incapable of civilization? |
| 10633 | Were they goods and chattels? |
| 10633 | Were you not made miserable by your debased situation there? |
| 10633 | What advantages, for instance, would they derive from this pestilential commerce to their marine? |
| 10633 | What are the different ways of reducing to slavery the inhabitants of that part of Africa which is under the dominion of France? |
| 10633 | What are the various evils belonging to the transportation of the Africans from their own country? |
| 10633 | What bill could prevent fraud and violence in Africa, while the Slave Trade existed there? |
| 10633 | What is that sudden rustling among the leaves? |
| 10633 | What is the meaning of the noise around us, of the trampling of people''s feet, of the rustling of the bow, the quiver, and the lance? |
| 10633 | What is the state of society there with respect to government, industry, and the arts? |
| 10633 | What judges could we get for such an office? |
| 10633 | What person would risk the comfort of his life by the exercise of so invidious an interference? |
| 10633 | What savage race protects this impious gain? |
| 10633 | What should we think of those who should say, that it was their interest to injure us? |
| 10633 | What then was the importation of fresh Africans, but a system tending to the general ruin of the islands? |
| 10633 | What then was the probability of our example being followed by foreign powers? |
| 10633 | What then would they say to their continuance year after year, and from age to age? |
| 10633 | What was the answer from Grenada? |
| 10633 | What was the inference from this moderate assertion, but that we might as well supply them ourselves? |
| 10633 | What was this but to say, that there were instruments in use which left indelible marks, behind them; and who would say that these were used justly? |
| 10633 | What were the causes of the insurrections there? |
| 10633 | What would be the consequence? |
| 10633 | What would the house think, when by the concurring testimony of these the true history was laid open? |
| 10633 | When a criminal was justly executed, was not the execution justice to him who suffered, and humanity to the body of the people at large? |
| 10633 | When the grim lion urged his cruel chase, When the stern panther sought his midnight prey; What fate reserved me for this Christian race? |
| 10633 | When they want no stimulus to perform their duty, why tell them that if the ship is empty, they get a hundred pounds: if laden, five thousand? |
| 10633 | When they went to rest, would not their dreams be frightful? |
| 10633 | Where are those rights? |
| 10633 | Where bolder assertions of the rights of mankind, than in Tacitus and Thucydides? |
| 10633 | Where could be found finer sentiments of liberty than in Demosthenes and Cicero? |
| 10633 | Where else is the temper subject to such frequent irritation, or passion to such little control? |
| 10633 | Where was he to be defended? |
| 10633 | Where was the impracticability, on which alone so many had rested their objections? |
| 10633 | Wherefore have we that pattern of goodness and humanity, if we refuse to follow it? |
| 10633 | Whether it was humane, just, and politic in us so to place them? |
| 10633 | Who ever read the facts recorded of Nero without suspecting he was mad? |
| 10633 | Who hath stamped upon them so sacred a character as to silence mine?" |
| 10633 | Who is he that just now started across the narrow pathway, as if afraid of a human face? |
| 10633 | Who is that wretched woman whom we discover under that noble tree, wringing her hands, and beating her breast, as if in the agonies of despair? |
| 10633 | Who knew anything of what was doing by the committee of privy council, or what progress they were making? |
| 10633 | Who would endure such a law? |
| 10633 | Who would not be apt to impute insanity to Caligula-- or Domitian-- or Caracalla-- or Commodus-- or Heliogabalus? |
| 10633 | Why are those persons flying from our approach, and hiding themselves in yon darkest thicket? |
| 10633 | Why did all- creating Nature Make the plant, for which we toil? |
| 10633 | Why did he refuse to give it? |
| 10633 | Why did we make laws to punish men? |
| 10633 | Why then am I devoid of all to live That manly comforts to a man can give? |
| 10633 | Why was injustice to be suffered to remain for a single hour? |
| 10633 | Why were they then to be troubled again with arguments of this nature? |
| 10633 | Why, then, should we promote them in the West Indies? |
| 10633 | Why? |
| 10633 | Will not his works still breathe his sentiments upon it? |
| 10633 | Will not the blessings which we have abused loudly testify against us? |
| 10633 | Will not the blood which we have shed cry from the ground for vengeance upon our sins?" |
| 10633 | Would any man estimate the character of the English nation by what was to be read in the records of the Old Bailey? |
| 10633 | Would it be nothing publicly to recognise great and just principles? |
| 10633 | Would not our virtue be the more signal? |
| 10633 | Would they not be obliged to come to us, in consequence of the cheapness of our manufactures, for what they wanted for the African market? |
| 10633 | Would they then sanction enormities, the bare recital of which made them shudder? |
| 10633 | and that a trade of this nature, carried on round her coasts, must extend violence and desolation to her very centre? |
| 10633 | and uprightly enslaved? |
| 10633 | and what abuses were greater than robbery and murder? |
| 10633 | and, if you wronged him, would he not revenge? |
| 10633 | do you buy me, who am a great trader?" |
| 10633 | have you laugh your fill? |
| 10633 | that her savage manners must be rendered still more ferocious? |
| 10633 | whether the West Indies, at this hour, were, not in a state in which they could maintain their population? |
