Transcription	TRANSLATOR'S PREFACE. I RECOLLECT to have heard the celebrated professor Millar* of the university of Glasgow^ observe, in his course of civil law* " that the mind revolts at the idea of a serious discussion on the subject of slavery. Every individual, what» ever be his Country or complexion, is entitled to freedom. The happiness of the poor man is of as much importance as that of the rich. No man has a right to reduce another to the condition of the brute. No individual can sell his liberty. The bargain is unequal, and ought to be broken. Negro slavery is contrary to the sentiments of hu=> inanity and the principles of justice*'^
