Summary:

Printed address by Roscoe announcing his withdrawal as candidate for Liverpool at forthcoming parliamentary election. Lists achievements of the recently dissolved Parliament. Withdrawing due to the "general prejudice" he has met for his part in abolition of the slave trade, his difficulties in attempting to publically render an account of his conduct, and physical attacks on his supporters.

Printed by G F Harris.
