Buxton to James Stephen, asking for his promised criticism of the book, insisting that he wanted all his fallacies exposed and that Stephen was best qualified to do that, 24 Aug 1838
If he felt unable to prepare a review, he would ask Tom Macaulay to produce one, which could not fail to awaken the public. At the same time, it would set out his own private criticisms of the work and expose all its faults. He also describes the additions he intended to make, on the Northern slave trade and the superior value of free over slave labour, and the remodelling of his section on commerce. He adds that he would welcome a hint that Glenelg was considering his suggestions. (Copy.)
