It was in no respect behind the famous World's Convention against Slavery, held at London in June, 1840, with Thomas Clarkson, the pioneer Abolitionist, as Presi- dent; for the strongest declarations of this Convention were adopted expressly by Lord Palmerston as " the sentiments of her Majesty's Government," and communicated officially to all British functionaries in foreign lands.
