HORTON, R. Wilmot)

THE WEST INDIA QUESTION PRACTICALLY CONSIDERED.

London. John Murray. 1826. pp. 121. 8vo. Disbound. Ragatz p 514. A reply to James Stephen’s England enslaved by her Own Slave Colonies London 1826 which says that Parliament could and should abolish West Indian privileges and enact much needed slave legislation. Horton holds that compensation could be fairly claimed by the planters at that point where the regulation of property ended and the compulsory substitiution of money for labor began. A full investogation of the state of the negroes should be made before any anti-slavery legislation was undertaken.
