To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Was he not then in the same position to us as the Chinese are now, and to a great extent always have been ? For British sub- jects to smuggle goods into our own dominions, upon which duty is charged, is dishonest ; and, if merely prohibited, not reputable, being in the one case cheating our fellow subjects, and in the other op- posing the law, both being rendered criminal by it. But, from usage and common opinion, neither the one nor the other imputation lies upon us for intro- ducing articles ...so defined into foreign countries. Our government takes no part in it one way or other ; but if it does not openly encourage such a practice, it has no objection to see our trade so 56 extended. The term " smuggler'' is not applicable in any sense to the opium-merchants in China, who have had it so unfairly and indecently rung in their ears ; but having it before us just now, it may be turned to some account to elucidate another part of the subject.
At the time when the slave trade was carried on by vessels fitted out from this country under sanction of the law, were not those who assisted in any way in their equipment, and the tradesmen who supplied their stores and investments for the purchase of the slaves, in some measure implicated, although they might not possess the smallest share of the ship or the adventure ?
