No tengo la menor duda de que tal ha de ser el resultado ante un tribunal severamente justo, sin necesidad de apelar a otros medios de obtener una amplia satisfaccion, de que no puede dispensarse ningun caballero que tenga honor y verguenza. El Capitan Hamilton aparece siempre culpable, por lo menos de lijereza e impremeditacion, pues que palabras tan ofensivas como las que han salido de su boca, aunque no formuladas por el mismo, no se pronuncian o por lo menos no se dan al publico sin tener a la mano las pruebas y los medios de defensa.

Con la omision de esta salvedad, ha acogido ya como suya la opinion de los calumniadores--primera falta: la ha such traffic, are at once removed from the post they may hold, --I reply by stating, that it is somewhat difficult to connect so many absurdities together.

Seller's Description:
New. "Slavery in the Island of Cuba: With Remarks on the Statements of the British Press Relative to the Slave Trade" is a non-fiction book written by Mariano Torrente. The book provides an in-depth analysis of the slave trade in Cuba during the 19th century, with a particular focus on the role of the British press in shaping public opinion on the issue. The author offers a detailed account of the conditions under which slaves lived and worked in Cuba, highlighting the brutality and inhumanity of the system. He also challenges the portrayal of the British press as a champion of abolitionism, arguing that their coverage of the slave trade was often sensationalist and inaccurate. Overall, "Slavery in the Island of Cuba" is a valuable historical document that sheds light on a dark chapter in Cuba's past and provides insight into the complex dynamics of the transatlantic slave trade.
