To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But when before in all history, have creatures, wearing the human form, proclaimed the criminal principle of their association, with the audacity of our Slave-mongers ? It might be argued, on grounds of reason and authority even, that the declared principle of the pretended Power, was a violation of International Law. Eminent magistrates have solemnly ruled, that, in the development of civilization, the slave-trade has become illegal, by a law higher than any statute. Sir William Grant, one of ...the ornaments of the British bench, whose elegant mind was governed always by practical sense, adjudged that " this trade c&nnot,ab$lractedly speaking } hxfe any legitimate existence," f \ , Digitize^ 59 (Atnedie, 2 Acton B. 240) ; and our own great authority, Mr. Justice Story, in a remarkable judgment, declared himself con- strained "to consider the trade against the universal law of society." (La Jeune Eugenie, 2 Mason R. 451.) But the argu- ments which are strong against any Recognition of the slave- trade, are strong also against any Recognition of Slavery itself.
