Excerpt from Contributions to the Edinburgh Review, Vol. 1 of 3The reason for omitting in this publication almost all the papers on slave-trade, Slavery, Charitable Trusts, and Education, is that the greater part of the measures discussed have long since been adopted by the Legis lature; and that the measures connected with Educa tion, which unfortunately have not yet been adopted, are constantly supported in Parliament upon the prin ciples maintained by the papers in the Review; so that the Author's speeches contain both the doctrines and the arguments which would be found in those papers.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
