But it will be still urged, that though what is called human happiness be of so fantastic a nature, that each man’s imagination creates it for himself, yet human misery is more substantial and uniform throughout all the tribes of mankind.  Now, from the worst of human miseries, the savage Africans, by these forced emigrations, are intirely secured; such as the being perpetually hunted down like beasts of prey or profit, by their more savage and powerful neighbours—­In truth, a blessed change!—­from being hunted to being caught.  But who are they that have set on foot this general HUNTING?  Are they not these very civilized violaters of humanity themselves? who tempt the weak appetites, and provoke the wild passions of the fiercer savages to prey upon the rest.
