For this purpose Mr.
Wilberforce had opened the way for me, and an interview took place.

We were in free conversation together for a considerable time, during which we went through most of the branches of the subject.

Mr.Pitt appeared to me to have but little knowledge of it.

He had also his doubts, which he expressed openly, on many points.

He was at a loss to conceive how private interest should not always restrain the master of the slave from abusing him.
