Strictures On A Life Of William Wilberforce is a book written by Thomas Clarkson in 1838. The book is a critical analysis of the life of William Wilberforce, a British politician and philanthropist who played a significant role in the abolition of the slave trade in the British Empire. Clarkson, who was a close friend of Wilberforce, writes in the book about the flaws and contradictions in Wilberforce's character and actions. He argues that Wilberforce was not always consistent in his views and actions, particularly with regards to his support for the abolition of slavery in other countries besides Britain. Clarkson also delves into Wilberforce's personal life, including his marriage and his religious beliefs. He criticizes Wilberforce for his lack of attention to his family and his tendency to prioritize his political career over his personal relationships. Overall, Strictures On A Life Of William Wilberforce provides a thought-provoking and critical perspective on the life and legacy of one of Britain's most celebrated historical figures.With A Correspondence Between Lord Brougham And Mr. Clarkson, Also A Supplement, Containing Remarks On The Edinburgh Review Of Mr. Wilberforce�������s Life, Etc.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
