Part of Papers of Thomas Clarkson
Recounts a discussion between two members of the African Institution, Zachary Macauley and William Allen, in 1822. They believed that though the Slave Trade had been abolished, slavery itself remained untouched. They resolved to gather together their old friends from the anti-slave trade cause to campaign to put an end to slavery. Gives a brief account of the histories of the two men and their efforts to contact interested parties and tells of the first meeting at the Kings Head Tavern, Poultry. Describes the belief amongst the group that their movement must remain secret until it has become strong enough to oppose the powerful pro slavery lobby. Gives the date of the public formation of the Anti Slavery Society as January 1823. Describes Clarkson's ideas for the organization of the movement, comprising of a parent society in London and a number of auxiliary branches throughout the country.
