(SLAVERY AND ABOLITION.) QUAKERS. The Epistle from the Yearly Meeting in London, held by adjournments, from the 15th of the fifth month, 1780, to the 20th of the same, inclusive. 7 pages, unopened. Providence: John Carter [1780]
Printed in Rhode Island, arguably the most notorious center of the American slave trade, at a time when Quakers such as Moses Brown were pressing for the abolition of slavery. "By accounts from several quarterly meetings in New England, New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The just and charitable endeavours of the Friends on that continent have so happily succeeded, that slavery of the poor negroes [sic] is nearly put to an end to amongst them, and has greatly decreased amongst those of other professions."
