Excerpt from India's Cries to British Humanity: Relative to Infanticide, British Connection With Idolatry, Ghaut Murders, Suttee, Slavery, and Colonization in India; To Which Are Added, Humane Hints for the Melioration of the State of Society in British India

To this edition is added The present state of Infanticide and Slavery in British India.' Upon these subjects but little correct information appears to be possessed. A very general impression prevails that Infanticide is abolished; anda late celebrated Writer on India has stated No slavery legally exists in the British territories at this moment with what surprise will the reader hear, that there are two volumes of Parliamentary Papers on Infanticide, and that a voluminous collection of Papers, of nearly folio pages, on Slavery in India, were ordered to be printed by the Hon. House of Commons, Mar. 12, - From these valuable documents full and accurate information may be procured.
