Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

""Letters To A Wife V1: Written During Three Voyages To Africa, From 1750 To 1754"" is a collection of letters written by John Newton to his wife during his travels to Africa from 1750 to 1754. Newton was a British slave trader who later became an abolitionist and a prominent figure in the evangelical movement. The letters provide a detailed account of his experiences in Africa, including his observations on the slave trade and the customs and culture of the African people. The book was first published in 1793, and it offers a unique perspective on the transatlantic slave trade from the viewpoint of a slave trader who later became a vocal opponent of the practice.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
