Half Hours with Old Humphrey

On Cruelty

[1799] Old Humphrey, "On Cruelty", in Half Hours with Old Humphrey (London: Relgious Track Society, 1799;Google Books: Online Library of Free eBooks) 240-253.

Let us abhor cruelty to the lower creation, and practice kindness to one another, neglecting neither body nor the soul.
