Excerpt from A Prize Essay: Read in the Theatre, Oxford, June 8, 1864
Las Casas introduced, or rather procured the legalization of, another remedial measure, Negro slavery. Not that a worthy name hallowed the wrong; Las Casas himself penitently deplores his error. But it is certain that it greatly relieved the Indians, and certain too, that granting the existence of slavery at all, the laws which were passed to regulate it were wise and humane ones laws which even in Cuba have only been disused for half a century.
