brief
statement of facts. In the United States of America, the slave
population is estimated to be 2,750,000; in Brazil, 2,500,000;
in the Spanish Colonies, 600,000; in the French Colonies,
265,000; in the Dutch Colonies, 70,000; in the Danish and
Swedish Colonies, 30,000; and in Texas, 25,000; besides those
held in bondage by Great Britain, in the East Indies, and the
British Settlements of Ceylon, Malacca, and Penang; and by
France, Holland, and Portugal, in various parts of Asia and
Africa; amounting in all to several millions more; and exclusive
also of those held in bondage by the native powers of the East,
and other parts of the world, of whose number it is impossible
to form a correct estimate.

"To supply the slave-markets of the Western world, 120,000
native Africans are, on the most moderate calculation, annually
required; whilst the slave-markets of the East require 50,000
more. In procuring these victims of a guilty traffic, to be
devoted to the rigors of perpetual slavery, it is computed that
280,000 perish in addition, and under circumstances the most
revolting and afflicting.

"But this is not all. In the Southern section of the United
States, and in British India, a vast internal slave-trade is
carried on, second only in horror and extent to that which has
so long desolated and degraded Africa.

"These facts exhibit, also, the magnitude of the responsibility
which devolves upon abolitionists; in view of it they may well
be allowed to disclaim, as they do, all sectarian motive, all
party feeling: 'Glory to God in the highest, on earth peace,
good will to man,' is their aim: consistently with the blessed
character of this gospel anthem, they recognize no means as
allowable for them, in the prosecution of their holy enterprise,
than those which are of a moral, religious, and pacific nature;
in the diligent use of these means, and trusting

Various, or Various Production, is an English dubstep/electronic music duo formed in 2003. The group blends samples, acoustic and electronic instrumentation, and singing from a revolving cast of vocalists. Its members, Adam and Ian, purposefully give very little information about the group or themselves, and tend to do little in the way of self-promotion.[1] Nevertheless, the group began winning critical acclaim with its single releases in 2005 and 2006.[2] Their full-length for XL, The World is Gone, arrived in July of 2006.[3][4][5][6][7] They have released a large number of vinyl EPs and 7 records, as well as digital exclusives for Rough Trade, iTunes, and Boomkat.[8]

Alfred Binet (July 8, 1857 October 18, 1911), French psychologist and inventor of the first usable intelligence test, the basis of todays IQ test. Born in Nice, Binet was a French psychologist who published the first modern intelligence test, the Binet-Simon intelligence scale, in 1905. His principal goal was to identify students who needed special help in coping with the school curriculum. Along with his collaborator Thodore Simon, Binet published revisions of his intelligence scale in 1908 and 1911, the last appearing just before his untimely death. A further refinement of the Binet-Simon scale was published in 1916 by Lewis M. Terman, from Stanford University, who incorporated the German psychologist William Sterns proposal that an individuals intelligence level be measured as an intelligence quotient (I.Q.). Termans test, which he named the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale formed the basis for one of the modern intelligence tests still commonly used today. They are all colloquiall
