Goldsmiths 14021.Carl Bernard Wadstr??m (1746?Äì99), known as the Swedish philanthropist and Swedenborgian who was involved in the British abolitionist movement. In 1787 the Swedish King Gustav III sent Wadstr??m, together with two other Swedes (Carl Axel Arrhenius and Anders Sparrman) to Guinea to investigate the possibility of establishing a Swedish West African colony. Upon Wadstr??m's return he stayed in England to attend a Swedenborgian conference and was drawn into the ongoing English antislavery campaign. He published this work and "An Essay on Colonization" (1794-5) in which he exposed the cruelties of slavery and claimed that the Africans were worth more as trading partners and wage labourers than as slaves. The works won much recognition around Europe. See: Beskow ?ÄúMinne af ?ñfver-direkt??ren Carl Bernard Wadstr??m?Äù (1861).
