Published in the early 19th century, 'Essay on the Slavery and Commerce of the Human Species, Particularly the African' by Thomas Clarkson is a critical examination of the slave trade and its commercial implications. Clarkson, a prominent English abolitionist, divides the work into three sections: the history of slavery, the African slave trade, and the conditions of enslaved Africans in European colonies.
