Description:
1800. Second Edition. London: printed by W. Stratford, sold Cadell and Davies, [1800]. (4), 47 pp. Neatly bound in later marbled boards, cloth spine lettered in gilt. A fine copy. Surprisingly rare pamphlet (no first edition located), censorious of the enjoyment afforded the lower classes by the spectacle of torture inflicted on dumb animals, in this case the unspeakable cruelties of bull-baiting. The attempt to outlaw bull-baiting figured significantly in the contest in England between reform and reaction at the time of the French Revolution. Advocated by Wilberforce and others, the bill was defeated by conservative ideologies, such as Edmund Burke and acolyte, William Wyndham, who foresaw in the abolition of such brutality the erosion of the traditions which supposedly bound the lower classes to the existing social order. Put simply, better to torture a poor animal than guillotine an aristocrat-a familiar dynamic in class society then and now.

He relates that he received word of his father's death from an African American man named London who was in a relationship with his mother and lived with her. Babcock lived with the couple between jobs. One morning London and Babcock's mother were fighting and Babcock entered the fray and stabbed London who later died. There is a long section on his imprisonment and last day leading up to his hanging.
