A Caution to Great Britain and Her Colonies of the Calamitous State of the Enslaved Negroes in the British Dominions is a book written by Anthony Benezet in 1785.

He also highlights the economic and moral consequences of slavery. The book argues that slavery is a violation of natural rights and that it is the responsibility of the British government to abolish it.
