Description

One folio, printed on both sides. Part of the contents of the work-bag (T.1-2022) produced by the Female Society for Birmingham (originally called the Ladies Society for the Relief of N---- Slaves) in West Bromwich, near Birmingham, as part of their campaign to abolish slavery.

Please note that the term 'n----' was used historically to describe people of black African heritage but today it is considered offensive. It is used here in its original, historical context only.
