Excerpt from Proceedings of the General Anti-Slavery Convention: Called by the Committee of the British and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society, and Held in London From Tuesday, June 13th, to Tuesday, June 20th, 1843 These animating results are to be ascribed instrumentally, in no small degree, to the plans evolved by the Convention of 1840, and the vigorous and judicious mode in which they have been worked out by the Committee of the British and Foreign anti-slavery Society, to whom their execution was confided. Abundant testimony to this fact will be found to have been borne by the Delegates from America and other countries. It may safely be affirmed that the advances made towards the overthrow Of slavery, and the establishment of universal freedom, during the last three years, have been unrivalled in any former period of the anti-slavery enterprise. 'with equal certainty, it may be predicated that the ensuing three years will not be less auspicious than the past in their influence upon the destinies of the still enslaved portions of mankind.
