The law of retribution; or, a serious warning to Great Britain and her colonies, founded on unquestionable examples of God's temporal vengeance against tyrants, slave-holders, and oppressors. The Examples are selected from Predictions in the Old Testament, of national judgements, which (being compared with their actual Accomplishment) demonstrate "the sure Word of Prophecy," as well as the immediate Interposition of divine Providence, to recompence impenitent Nations according to their Works.

A representation of the injustice and dangerous tendency of tolerating slavery; Or of admitting the least claim of private property in the persons of men, in England. In four parts. Containing, I. Remarks on an opinion given in the year 1729, by the (then) attorney general and sollicitor general, concerning the case of slaves in Great Britain. II. The answer to an objection, which has been made to the foregoing remarks. III. An examination of the advantages and disadvantages of tolerating slavery in England. The latter are illustrated by some remarks on the spirit of the plantations laws, occasionally introduced in notes, which demonstrate the cruel oppression, not only of slaves, but of free Negroes, Mulattoes, and Indians, and even of Christian White servants in the British colonies. IV. Some remarks on the ancient villenage, shewing, that the obsolete laws and customs, which favoured that horrid oppression, cannot justify the admission of the modern West Indian slavery into this Kingdom, not the leaf claim of property, or right of service, deducible therefrom.
