Wesley, John - Thoughts Upon Slavery
- Published 1774. On the web site of the Univ. of Manchester Library.
Methodist
Archives and Research Centre.
Primary....texts. The Univ. of Manchester Library web editor writes -
"John Wesley widely distributed this tract in England and America under
his own name. Actually it is an abridgement of Some Historical Accounts
of Guinea, published in Philadelphia in 1771 by Anthony Benezet,
an American Quaker. According to Albert Outler, this type of literary
"borrowing" was seen by Wesley and this 18th century colleagues as a form of
endorsement not plagiarism.[Outler, Albert C. John Wesley (New York: Oxford
University Press, 1964), pp. 85-86n.]" [KF]
