- Or The Proverbialist (1816)

Bag om Sancho

Sancho: Or The Proverbialist is a book written by John William Cunningham and published in 1816. The book is a fictional account of the life of Ignatius Sancho, an African slave who became a prominent writer, composer, and abolitionist in 18th century England. The novel portrays Sancho's rise from slavery to freedom, his struggles with racism and discrimination, and his eventual success as a writer and advocate for the abolition of slavery. The book is also notable for its use of proverbs, which are woven into the narrative to provide insights into Sancho's character and the world in which he lived. Overall, Sancho: Or The Proverbialist is a powerful and inspiring story of one man's fight for freedom and justice in a world that was often hostile to his dreams and aspirations.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
