Many sublime thoughts seemed to rush in upon him at once at the sight of these, some of which he expressed with observations becoming a great and a dignified mind.

He thanked me for the light I had given him on many of the branches of this great question.

And I went away under a certain conviction that I had left him much impressed in our favour.
My next visit was to Mr.( now Lord) Grenville.

I called upon him at the request of Mr.Wilberforce, who had previously written to him from Bath, as be had promised to attend the meetings of the privy council during the examinations which were to take place.

I found in the course of our conversation that Mr.Grenville had not then more knowledge of the subject than Mr.Pitt; but I found him differently circumstanced in other respects, for I perceived in him a warm feeling in behalf of the injured Africans, and that he had no doubt of the possibility of all the barbarities which had been alleged against this traffic.
