Note: Samuel Carter Hall (9 May 1800 – 11 March 1889) was an Irish-born Victorian journalist who is best known for his editorship of The Art Journal and for his much-satirised personality; he is regularly cited as the model for the character of Pecksniff in Charles Dickens's novel Martin Chuzzlewit (1843/44).
The Committee of West-Indian Proprietors have agreed to present to the Marquis of Chandos, their Chairman, a splendid Gold Cup, in token of gratitude for his exertions in retarding the progress of Slave-Emancipation. The following is respectfully submitted as an appropriate Inscription for the same, by S. C. Hall.
----
Behold this Cup! -- this Cup of Gold! That freemen to a freeman gave! Formed at rich cost, -- a price untold! The sinews of the Slave!
Drink, Chandos! 'Tis a noble draught, A richly-crimsoned flood! Nay, start not ere the stream be quaff'd, Drink! -- 'tis a Brother's blood!
