1774réf. 1283611774. First Edition. BENEZET Anthony WESLEY John. Thoughts upon Slavery. IN: A Collection of Religious Tracts. London Printed: Re-Printed in Philadelphia: Joseph Cruckshank 1774. Small octavo early full brown sheep. Housed in a custom chemise and clamshell box. $12000.First American edition preceded only by the same year's much shorter English edition of Wesley's influential and controversial early attack on slavery and the slave trade the first to contain abolitionist Anthony Benezet's expansive notes and afterword not in the English edition bound with a separate title page with four other works in publisher Joseph Crukshank's A Collection of Religous Tracts.Wesley a ""founder of MethodismÉwas noted not only for outstanding powers of leadership but also for practical holiness social concern and immense courage"" Oxford Dictionary of World Religions 1037. He formulated a doctrine of perfection that led to the ""creation of the largest new family of churches to be thrown up by the revival in Britain and in the rest of the English-speaking world"" ODNB. While he was a colleague of leading abolitionists William Wilberforce and Anthony Benezet in Thoughts upon Slavery ""the ethical core of the argument is Wesley's own"" Field John Wesley as a Public Theologian 4. He first witnessed the horrors of slavery as a missionary in Georgia and South Carolina. ""By the time he published his Thoughts upon Slavery he clearly opposed the cruelties and violations of the slave tradeÉ It is striking that in this attack on slavery Wesley explicitly does not use the Bible as the basis for his position. Instead he argues that slavery cannot be reconciled with justice and mercy and derives his understanding of justice from natural lawÉ Jennings reports that Wesley went even further in moving from protest to transformation"" Sample Future of John Wesley's Theology 58-9. Wesley's work also stands out in that he was a political conservative who rejected democracy and ""strongly criticized mass actionÉ here however he legitimated slave resistance and rebellion as an expression of natural liberty in contradiction of biblical injunctions to slaves"" Field 6.This pivotal edition was issued at the urging of Benezet after reading the same year's much shorter English edition. He was especially moved by Wesley's ""exhortation to the ship captains merchants and planters involved in slaving urging them to 'give liberty to whom liberty is due that is to every child of man to every partaker of human nature.'"" Benezet quickly ""arranged with Philadelphia printer Joseph Cruikshank to reprint Wesley's pamphlet but not before he added five expansive footnotes and a lengthy afterwordÉ the general tenor of these additions was to clarify and amplify points Wesley had made"" Crosby ed. Complete Antislavery Writings of Anthony Benezet 197. In England ""the public response to Wesley's Thoughts upon SlaveryÉ would soon be so great that 229000 people signed petitions against the slave trade to be presented to Parliament"" Jackson Let This Voice Be Heard 126. Yet ""Wesley's attack on the profitable slave trade was riskyÉ his opinions were an affront to those who considered the Africans their inferiors. For the latter group Wesley had further unsettling words: 'The inhabitants of AfricaÉ are not inferior to the inhabitants of Europe; to some of them they are greatly superior'"" Yrigoyen John Wesley. ""Wesley's contribution to the struggle against slavery did not end with the publication of Thoughts upon SlaveryÉ Symbolically the last letter he wrote before his death was to Wilberforce supporting him in his struggle to have the slave trade abolished"" Field 6. Preceded by the same year's 53-page English edition published without Benezet's lengthy notes and afterword. Thoughts Upon Slavery was both published separately and included as ""the second title in: Benezet Anthony. The Potent Enemies of America Laid Open Philadelphia: Joseph Crukshank 1774 Evans 13146 and as part of some copies of: A Collection of Religious Tracts as here Philadelphia: Joseph Crukshank 1773-1778 Evans 13145"" ESTC W28091.
