As for the slave trade, the Mahdi will be ten times worse than Zubair.

[N]o novels or worldly books come up to the Sermons of McCheyne or the Commentaries of Scott.

If the Mahdi has got the Bahr Gazelle, and we evacuate the Soudan in his favour, the Anti-Slavery Society may as well close their office as to the suppression of the slave-trade in these parts, especially if we leave him the steamers.
