  <mods:abstract>Isabella Massie writes to John Bishop Estlin regarding the anti-slavery cause. She writes, "I grieve to find the Anti-slavery feeling of the three kingdoms all but extinguished. So many causes operate to crush every feeling &amp; effort, that it must with one expressing sentiments like your own is as water to a thirsty soul. I entirely concur with you respecting the Antislavery Reporter, &amp; have been more pain than pleasant to Scoble, I fear." She criticises the antislavery society and its leaders, and in particular the mInisters. She writes, "the Ministers of religion in this country &amp; in America are verily guilty. From the moment those loathsome reptiles (pardon the comparison) landed in this country &amp; were received with open arms by the Evangelical Alliance, from that moment, I say did their deadly poison spread &amp; contaminate the...sphere of England....They flattered, cajoled, &amp;...mesmerized the ministers in this country, gained their point &amp; returned triumphing in their wickedness."</mods:abstract>
