	Anthony Benezet: biography and bibliography
		Anthony Benezet was born in St. Quentin, northern France, on 31 January 1713.
		In 1715, when Benezet was two years old, they emigrated to London, where he received an education suitable for the son of a properous family of merchants.
		Several years later, Benezet's works were instrumental in persuading Thomas Clarkson to embark on his abolitionist career, and Benezet's Some Historical Account of Guinea was reprinted several times during the height of the abolition campaign.

	Woodson, Anthony Benezet.
		Benezet was born in St. Quentin in Picardy in France in 1713.
		Benezet set forth in the almanacs of the time accounts of the atrocities of those engaged in slavery and the slave trade and published and circulated numerous pamphlets ingeniously exposing their iniquities.
		Benezet, therefore, wrote the Countess a brilliant letter pathetically depicting the misery she was unconsciously causing by thus encouraging slavery and the slave trade.

	Africans in America/Part 3/Anthony Benezet
		Benezet immigrated to Philadelphia in 1731 and became a schoolmaster, teaching a day school for Quaker children, and tutoring slave and free fls in the same subjects at night.
		It was Benezet who issued the call for the first meeting of the Pennsylvania Abolition Society in 1775, and he assisted fl Philadelphians in their petitions to defeat an amendment to the 1780 gradual emancipation act that would return unregistered fls to slavery.
		Even after his death, Benezet continued to have a profound effect on his contemporaries: the appearance of his ghost in a dream prompted slaveowner Benjamin Rush to devote himself to the cause of abolition.

		Benezet not only wrote for the general population, but was also eager to influence those with political power, as may be seen in his letter to Queen Charlotte of England in 1783.
		Benezet's motivation was linked to the whole of Christianity, especially to the all-pervading central core of love for God and love for all humankind.
		Anthony Benezet is dead, but his example continues exerting a powerful influence and motivation for those who see the injustices of society and are not willing to be cynical or passive about bringing change where human need cries for human care.

		Today, however, the family is best remembered through a first cousin of Claude's, Anthony Benezet, who converted to the Society of Friends, emigrated to America, and became one of the earliest and most successful antislavery and antiwar activists.
		Anthony, having joined the Society of Friends and emigrated to Philadelphia many years previously, sought to reinitiate correspondence with Claude's family in the hopes of perpetuating the amicable feelings his father felt toward Claude.
		Benezet continues beyond family matters into a lengthy and powerfully worded argument for the abolition of slavery and the reform of British colonial law relating to slaves.

		One of the first American abolitionists, Anthony Benezet was a French-born reformer and educator who spent most of his youth in London, where he joined the Society of Friends.
		In 1731, at the age of 18, Benezet settled in Pennsylvania, and after teaching in several Quaker schools, he established the first secondary school for girls in the colony and later, a school for African Americans.
		In the 1750s, with fellow Quaker John Woolman, Benezet launched a tireless campaign to end slavery that eventually won the passage of a gradual abolition law in Pennsylvania in 1780.

	The Underground Railroad
		In 1775, Benezet called the first meeting of "Society for the Relief of Free Negroes Unlawfully held in Bondage", held in the Rising Sun Tavern in Philadelphia.
		Upon the death of Benezet in 1784, the group reorganized, taking a new name and goal: "The Pennsylvania Society for Promoting the Abolition of Slavery and for the Relief of Free Negroes Unlawfully Held in Bondage." The name change, although ponderous, showed a new focus for the group in actively promoting abolition.
		Benezet was dead, and Tom Paine had since moved to England; the other two left the group because the new focus on active pursuit of abolition seemed an intemperate move.

		Quaker antislavery publicist Anthony Benezet (1713-84) was the son of a wealthy Huguenot merchant who fled France in 1715.
		In 1750, Benezet began to teach slaves and free fls in night classes that he conducted in his home.

	African American Odyssey: Abolition, Anti-Slavery Movements, and the Rise of the Sectional Controversy (Part 1)
		There are Africans, he alleged, "who will sell their own children, kindred, or neighbors." Benezet also used the biblical maxim, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you," to justify ending slavery.
		Connecticut theologian Jonathan Edwards, born 1745, echoes Benezet's use of the Golden Rule as well as the natural rights arguments of the Revolutionary era to justify the abolition of slavery.
		In this printed version of his 1791 sermon to a local anti-slavery group, he notes the progress toward abolition in the North and predicts that through vigilant efforts slavery would be extinguished in the next fifty years.

	Africans in America/Part 3/Benezet Instructing Colored Children
		Few likenesses exist of Anthony Benezet, the 19th century teacher and abolitionist.
		A humble man who considered himself homely, he once declined a request to sit for a portrait by saying, "O no, no, my ugly face shall not go down to posterity." In his 1817 biography of Benezet, abolitionist Robert Vaux described him as a small man with a face "that beamed with benignant animation."
		This engraving of Benezet, taken from a book published in 1850, shows him teaching two fl children, a calling which he joyfully pursued for half a century.

	The Discovery of Addiction
		In 1774 Quaker reformer Anthony Benezet (30) wrote the first American pamphlet urging total abstinence from distilled spirits.
		However, the new view of addiction had to be developed by individuals who were free from certain traditional assumptions about human behavior--who tended to see deviance in general, and drunkenness in particular, as problematic and unnatural.
		While some of his observations had been made by others (especially Benezet), Rush organized the developing medical and common-sense wisdom into a distinctly new paradigm.

	Reviews in History:
		Furthermore, it was during the Romantic period that a fundamental shift occurred in the discourse of race.
		In the writings of people such as Edward Long, Charles White and Anthony Benezet, the idea of race was transformed from a system of arbitrary to natural signs, which were employed to arrange humanity into a hierarchical order at the foot of which stood the African.
		Even the great anti-slavery campaigner Thomas Clarkson could not avoid privileging the European in the perceived civilised order.
