About the print version
From the United States chronicle, Thursday, February 19, 1784. In this paper last week a clear confutation of the original claim to the right of slavery was given, by ... Judge Blackstone, -- the subject is now concluded with the sentiments of that ingenious lawyer and excellent writer George Wallis [i.e., Wallace] as published in his "System of the laws of Scotland" ... Stating that slavery is neither legally nor morally justifiable, and recommending the liberation of Negro slaves in America.
