	Kitson, "Romanticism and colonialism: races, places, peoples, 1785-1800," page 3 of 5, _Romanticism and Colonialism_ - ...
		Clarkson argues that the Africans in their own country 'exercise the same arts, as the ancestors of those very Europeans, who boast their great superiority, are described to have done in the same uncultivated state'.
		Clarkson's insistence on the relativity of our perceptions of the primacy or beauty of skin colour is not exactly unprecedented: Sir Thomas Browne, Joshua Reynolds and others had made the same point.
		It is clear that Clarkson is attempting to efface the sign of difference between white and fl, unsettling such binary oppositions by positing a dark olive as the primary colour, so removing the grounds for the workings of any manichean allegory based on such an opposition.

	Thomas Clarkson Manuscript (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
		Like Mungo Park, Clarkson found that the most common method employed to capture slaves is "pillage," or the organization of forces by the King of a region for secret raids on neighboring villages from which men and women are kidnapped.
		Clarkson's letters include geographic and, to a degree, ethnographic notes on the region, plus detailed information on the means of acquisition, transport, and handling of enslaved individuals in Africa and on the Middle Passage.
		While Clarkson is strongly concerned with the moral issues raised by the slave-trade, the manuscript is designed partially to sway the opinion of politicians and often assumes an informational tone.

	MARGIN: Life & Letters in Early Australia: John Oxley's Sydney town house (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
		It was on the 12 June 1811 that Thomas Clarkson, a ticket of leave man, having arrived in the Alexander during August 1806, purchased two blocks of land in Macquarie Street near Hyde Park from John Jones.
		Clarkson however mortgaged the property again including the 'newly erected stone and brick menage or dwelling house' together with stables and other outhouses to D'Arcy Wentworth in March 1818 for 350 [pounds sterling].
		Research on the life of Thomas Clarkson has clearly shown the house was uninhabitable in 1816, and it must therefor be concluded that Oxley occupied a house elsewhere in Sydney prior to moving to the corner of King and Macquarie Streets.

		In the last of these, Thomas Tryon, who was the author, inveighs both against the commerce and the slavery of the Africans, and in a striking manner examines each by the touchstone of reason, humanity, justice, and religion.
