Slaver captain / by John Newton, ed. with an introduction by Vincent McInerney. This title comprises two accounts written by John Newton (1725-1807): Thoughts on the African Slave Trade: A memoir of my infidel days as a slaving captain, published in 1788, and An Authentic Narrative of some remarkable particulars in the life of John Newton, published in 1764. Newton worked on the slave ships Brownlow (as mate) and the Duke of Argyle and African (as captain), sailing out of Liverpool, before retiring from the slave trade on the grounds of ill-health. He went on to become an adviser to William Wilberforce and an active campaigner in the abolition movement. Thoughts on the African Slave Trade was written some thirty years after his retirement from the slave trade as a contribution to the arguments for abolition of the slave trade as well as a public confession and it contains explicit descriptions of the conditions on slave ships and the brutality of the treatment meted out to enslaved people. Converting to Christianity, Newton was ordained into the Church of England ministry and is known for having written Amazing Grace. The Authentic Narrative consists of a series of letters written by Newton to support his entry into the Anglican ministry. 2010. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 92NEWTON, JOHN
