The book The Suttees' Cry to Britain by James Peggs is a collection of essays and parliamentary papers that shed light on the practice of Suttee, which involved the burning of widows in India. The book contains extracts from various essays that were published in India during the early 19th century, as well as parliamentary papers that were presented to the British Parliament. The author, James Peggs, was a missionary who was deeply involved in the efforts to abolish Suttee. His writings provide a detailed account of the practice, its history, and the efforts of the British government to put an end to it. The book is an important historical document that sheds light on a dark chapter in India's history and the efforts of those who fought to end it.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
