The judgments on this land [Egypt] are on account of its cruelties in respect to the slave trade.

[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.
