Heavily rubbed. Later ticket of booksellers of Livraria CamÅes, Lisbon, Portugal to FEP, very occasional light spotting. The first edition of an anthology of three long poems published to commemorate the 1807 abolition of the slave trade within the British Empire, comprising James Montgomery's (1771-1854) 'The West Indies', James Grahame's (1765-1811) 'Africa Delivered', and Elizabeth Benger's (1777-1827) 'A Poem Occasioned by the Abolition of the Slave Trade'.

The Monthly Review lavished praise on the book: 'We welcomed Mr. Bowyer's elegant publication on the Abolition of this traffic; and we congratulate the poets, the artist, and the editor, who have contributed to celebrate a transaction so glorious in itself, so characteristic of the exaltation of moral feeling, and so pregnant with blessings to the whole African race'.

First Edition
First edition, published to celebrate the 1807 abolition of the slave trade within the British Empire, comprising three long poems: Montgomery's "The West Indies", Grahame's "Africa Delivered" and Benger's "A Poem Occasioned by the Abolition of the Slave Trade". "James Montgomery, James Grahame, and E. Benger rejoiced in slave-trade abolition as a triumph of the liberal nation and empire in Poems on the Abolition of the Slave Trade (1809). The book was intended to 'popularly commemorate' the 'illustrious act of the British Legislature', as the printer's advertisement announced. The abolition bill had 'vindicate[d] our religion and our laws'. Not only was it evidence of 'the dignity of the British Empire', but it had also 'extend[ed] its influence to the. universal interest of mankind'. Dedicated to the 'Society for Bettering the Condition of the Natives of Africa', the compilation of poems celebrated the spread of Britannia's liberty to desperate Africa. The book stressed how civilized Britannia had saved heathen Africa by ending the slave trade, venerating an Anglo-American pantheon of white abolitionists and downplaying the continued horrors of West Indian plantation slavery. Indeed, the compilation celebrated the end of the trade as if it were the end of slavery itself" (Gibbs, p. 95). The engravings after paintings by Smirke include now well-known images. Smirke had made his reputation with his Shakespearean illustrations - in contemporary sales his art was out-priced only by Reynolds - but George III refused to accept him as keeper of the Royal Academy in 1804 on account of his democratic principles. Montgomery's poem was subsequently published separately and proved hugely popular; he is best remembered today as a hymn writer. The Scottish lawyer turned cleric and poet James Grahame was great-uncle of Kenneth Grahame, author of The Wind in the Willows. Elizabeth Benger (merely "E. Benger" here) struggled to forge a literary career, trying various genres, including poetry, before later finding success with historical biographies of royal women, paving the way for others such as the Strickland sisters and Mary Anne Everett Green.
