Striking dedication reads: “To the Right Honourable the Earl Stanhope, F.R.S., the strenuous opponent of the new-fangled doctrines of Political-economists, and of their heartless and sordid schemes for degrading and crushing the poor; and for converting English labourers into machines or pack-horses, to be employed in the creation of of ‘surplus-produce’: this translation of the humane ‘Laws of the Hebrews,’ for the succour of their poor, is with his Lordship’s permission respectfully dedicated.”
