add to cart   close window

The article focuses on a letter of politician Lord Byron sent to W.J. Baldwin in relation to the request made by Baldwin to present the petition against Insolvent Debtor's Act in the House of Commons. He states that upon the principle itself, the question at issue on the confinement of debtors as far as regards the rights of humanity and the social compact, his mind is fully made up, but the minor grievances he doubt not well grounded subjects of complaint which he conjecture will form a considerable portion of the petition. He have not had leisure or opportunity to examine and collect the details and confesses that he is enable to do justice.
