CLARKSON PAPERS. Vol. VII. Papers of Thomas Clarkson and his family, chiefly relating to the movement for the abolition of the slave trade. Included are:-(1) "A Narrative concerning George and Sarah Green Of the Parish of Grasmere Addressed to a Friend" [probably Mrs. Clarkson], signed (f. 28 b) "Dorothy Wordsworth Grasmere May 4th 1808." Possibly this is the "copy of your Narrative in your own hand-writing" referred to by Mrs. Clarkson in a letter to Dorothy (f. 36) ; but, if so, it was not sent to Mrs. Clarkson until 1812. The story is printed (from another copy) by E. de Selincourt, The Tragedy of George and. Sarah Green, Oxford, 1936.
