Very tidy copy of a desirable first-hand account of slave life in sugar factories of the West Indies [1817-1818]. These were the narratives that at last compelled British society toward abolition, solidified the no-sugar protests in tea rooms all across England, etc.,

A very good copy, bound in a quarter linen binding with marbled boars; very solid, bright and clean pages with some toning.
