Note

Anonymous. By William Fox

Earlier wrongly attributed to William Bell Crafton; Fox's authorship is firmly established

Price below imprint (first three words in square brackets): Price a halfpenny. Or twenty-five for 1s. and 3s. 9d per hundred

Following the price: 50,000 of this pamphlet having been printed in about 4 months, affords the most flattering hopes of the plan proposed being extensively adopted and producing very important effects: to further them a trivial price is affixed, that those who approve the pamphlet may be more generally enabled to promote its circulation ... any person ordering 1000 may have an edition printed off with their name and residence, instead of the London booksellers

Advertisement at foot of p. 12: Published by the same author, a Summary view of the evidence relating to the slave trade and our colonial slavery, price 1d, or 7 for 6d, 50 for 3s 3d and 6s 4d per 100.
