The Slave Trade Debate and Public Mirth at Bartholomews
A fragmentary 18th century letter condemns the slave trade and calls for Christian mercy toward Africans, while London notes report Bartholomew’s fair suppression of harmful drolls, maritime intelligence, weather, and local misfortunes. The piece includes vivid translations and reflections on enslaved Africans’ voices and a travelogue through international news.
