Generally fragile, browned, creased from old folds, chipped with some loss to fore edge, split along folds with some minor loss catching the occasional word with no loss of sense but one line to the second column is largely obscured, with extensive repairs to reverse along folds. The attack, made on the 11th April, 1812, against William Cartwright's Rawfolds Mill in Liversedge, has been described as "legendary. Perhaps 150 Luddites took part... the Luddites exchanged a brisk fire with the embattled defenders for twenty minutes. Under cover of this fire, a small party of hammermen and men with hatchets made repeated attempts to break down the heavy doors of the mill. This party suffered serious casualties, at least five being wounded, two of whom - mortally wounded - were left behind when the Luddites suddenly retreated" (Thompson, The Making of the English Working Class, page 560). The raid was also one of the main inspirations for Charlotte Bronte's novel 'Shirley', with the mill owner Moore being modelled on Cartwright and the parson Helstone modelled on Reverend Hammond Roberson. As the broadside notes, only eight men were brought to trial and three of those were acquitted, with Thompson noting that "for months, despite the presence of 4000 troops in the West Riding and the widespread employment of spies, not one of the Rawfolds attackers was clearly identified. Thousands must have known one or another of the participants" (Ibid, page 563) [12] [Motler, Leonard Augustine] (Ed). Satire - A Paper of Social Criticism - Vol. 2, No.16.

All lightly browned, many chipped to edges, issues from number 59 are lightly damp stained, but nothing too obtrusive. This unstamped Tory newspaper warned against radicalism and atheism, noting that "Hetherington and Carlile in their 'poison shops' offered that 'black draught' which brought down on its victim 'discontent, sulkiness, sabbath-breaking, scoffing, hatred of the law, of kings, magistrates, and all superiors'" (Hollis, The Pauper Press, page 143) [14] [Peterloo].

26 Seymour was one of two distributors of Tucker's 'Liberty' in England, and was responsible for the first publication in England of Bakunin's 'God and the State' from the unlikely location of Tunbridge Wells. This newspaper can probably be considered as the first regular anarchist newspaper in England, it certainly precedes Freedom (established in late 1886), and this issue is significant in its brief acceptance by Seymour of anarcho-communism (which lasted for two issues), see Quail, 'The Slow Burning Fuse', chapter four.
