Notes
First edition. The anonymous work, pro-slavery and fearful of abolition, advocates a parliamentary resolution declaring that further investigations be made before any changes affecting the planters' interests are made, and that their current rights be protected. It argues that the slaves would cease to work if freed and that the properties would fall into decay.Description
Octavo (194 x 123 mm). Disbound.
Condition
Foxing to a few leaves, small nick to p. 11, a little closely cropped at head, else a very good copy.
