Description
Each number has special title page.Printed in double columns.These are the first four in a series of seven, charging the African Institution and other abolitionists with "calumny," "unparalleled effrontery," "insidious and wilful obliquity," and "fanaticism" in their reporting on African slavery; and with "visibly preparing for the rapid march of murder, anarchy, and desolation in our West India possessions." In reality, planters "are humane and merciful," and the slaves "happy."
