On burning Hindu widows on their husbands funeral pyre...

Item # 673462 ·
BOSTON RECORDER, Nov. 6, 1819  The front page has a rather lengthy and interesting article: "Hindoo Petition Against Burning Widows" beginning: "The effort of the British government to suppress the brutal custom of burning widows on the funeral pile of their husbands have been highly meritorious...".
Another article of the same heading is on page 3.
Four pages, nice condition.
