Description:
|
A leaflet containing an extract of Lord Brougham's speech to the House of Lords describing how eleven women were worked to death by being forced to work on a treadmill. The title in large bold letters proclaims 'Murder'. The coroners inquest on all eleven women was that 'they died by the visitation of God'. The style is one of rhetorical outrage. The leaflet goes on to describe Colonial Secretary Lord Glenelg's response which was to admit such things happen. The final papragraph is a rallying cry appealing to British citizens to sign petitions and respectfully campaign for freedom from slavery of the 'Negro-Apprentices'.
