"A series of pamphlets published by the slavery group, issued in the same format as West Indian Sketches, and consisting largely of replies to the latter and low abuse of the African Institution and its officers" (Ragatz). A total of seven numbers were printed all between 1816 and 1817.

 

These first four concern "Condition of the slaves in the British colonies", "A short account of the African Institution, and refutation of the calumnies of the Directors", "The actual condition of the negroes in the British West India colonies; and a further exposure of the African Institution", and "The calumnies of the African Institution further illustrated by Parliamentary Papers and other documents."
