Romantic colonization and British anti-slavery / Deirdre Coleman.

• Introduction : the cowpastures -- Henry Smeathman, imperial flycatcher and aeronaut -- The 'microscope of enthusiasm' : Swedenborgian ideas about Africa -- Rallying under the flag of Empire : the Nova Scotians in Sierra Leone -- Landing place -- 'New Albion' : the camp at Port Jackson -- Etiquettes of colonization and dispossession.

• The loss of Britain's North American colonies sparked an intense debate about the nature of colonization in the period 1770-1800. Drawing on archival research into colonies in Africa and Australia, the author shows how the growing popularity of the anti-slavery movement gave a Utopian cast to the debate about colonization.
