Part of broadside describing a slave ship "Brooks" transporting slaves from Africa to the West Indes. The text is from the point of view of an abolitionist as the text ends with the sentence: "As then the humanity of this trade must be universically admitted and lamented, people would do well to consider, that it does not often fail to the lot of individuals, to have an opportunity of performing so important, a moral, and religious duty, as that of endeavouring to put an end to a practice, which may, without exaggeration, be styled one of the greatest evils at this day existing upon the earth."
