Manuscript pamphlet entitled: Some remarks on slavery and prize goods recommended to the serious perusal and impartial consideration of the citizens of the united states and others concerned. 9 + 2 leaves (17 pages in length, with the 4 probably being a first draft). Most probably an essay, for a general audience, this text seeks to dismantle slavery by emphasising its immorality, particularly with a rather Platonic series of 'queries' and 'answers' before ending with a rallying call to arms in the form of telling the oppressed to 'pursue emancipation'

Hicks, Elias, 1748-1830
