Seven letters to the Lords and Commons of Great Britain, upon the impolicy, inhumanity, and injustice of our present mode of arresting the bodies of debtors : shewing the inconsistency of it, with Magna Carta and a free constitution : ...
"With observations on the draging [!] of debtors to sponging-houses, and to prisons in the first instance, before the debt is proved, upon the bare affidavit of the vilest character : and likewise some remarks on the fatal effects of such proceedings, on the circumstances and morals of individuals : the whole illustrated by a variety of cases, taken from real life."
