The latter, having left his residence in town for one in the country, solicited permission to resign, and hence this mark of approbation was given to him.

He was continued also as an honorary and corresponding member.
They elected David Hartley and Richard Sharpe, Esqs., into their own body, and Alexander Jaffray, Esq., the Rev.Charles Symmons, of Haverfordwest, and the Rev.T.Burgess (afterwards bishop of Salisbury), as honorary and corresponding members.

The latter had written _Considerations on the Abolition of Slavery and the Slave Trade, upon grounds of natural, religious, and political Duty_, which had been of great service to the cause.
Of the new correspondents of the committee within this period I may first mention Henry Taylor, of North Shields; William Proud, of Hull; the Rev.T.Gisborne, of Yoxall Lodge; and William Ellford, Esq., of Plymouth.

The latter as chairman of the Plymouth committee, sent up for inspection an engraving of a plan and section of a slave-ship, in which the bodies of the slaves were seen stowed in the proportion of rather less than one to a ton.

This happy invention gave all those who saw it a much better idea, than they could otherwise have had, of the horrors of their transportation, and contributed greatly, as will appear, afterwards, to impress the public in favour of our cause.
The next, whom I shall mention, was C.L.Evans, Esq., of West Bromwich; the Rev.T.Clarke, of Hull; S.P.Wolferstan, of Stratford, near Tamworth; Edmund Lodge, Esq., of Halifax; the Rev.Caleb Rotheram, of Kendal; and Mr.Campbell Haliburton, of Edinburgh.
