When colonial slavery was abolished in 1833 the British government paid 20 million to slave-owners as compensation: the enslaved received nothing. Drawing on the records of the Commissioners of Slave Compensation, which represent a complete census of slave-ownership, this book provides a comprehensive analysis of the extent and importance of absentee slave-ownership and its impact on British society. Moving away from the historiographical tradition of isolated case studies, it reveals the extent of slave-ownership among metropolitan elites, and identifies concentrations of both rentier and mercantile slave-holders, tracing their influence in local and national politics, in business and in institutions such as the Church. In analysing this permeation of British society by slave-owners and their success in securing compensation from the state, the book challenges conventional narratives of abolitionist Britain and provides a fresh perspective of British society and politics on the eve of the Victorian era.Binding Type: Paperback

Simple gold colored hoops
Color: Yellow Gold, Color: Yellow Gold
I love the color of these hoops. They are a nice light gold color that is not too yellowy, and not brassy. The three hoop designs in this set are simple but pretty. I love the braided hoop, it is my favorite of the three. The largest hoop has tiny cubic zirconia stones set into the hoop. Nice idea, but they are so miniscule that you don't get any sparkle effect, and they just basically give the hoop a little more texture.
Some of them take a little more fidgeting to close properly, but the hinges on all of the pairs open and close well and seem nice and solid. They don't cause any irritation to my ears.
They come in separate cellophane bags inside an unbranded dark grey jewelry bag. I'm happy with these earrings.

Lots of variety
Color: Yellow Gold
This set of earrings are a nice set of varying sizes of hoops. Each set has a different pattern and diameter. They are are posts that the hoops hook onto so there's no backing to loose and they self lock. I find this style much easier to put on than the huggie style earrings. This is a great value and you can give this as a gift of three pairs or split up the pairs and give them as separate gifts. They come in plastic bags with no gift box.

Dainty and well-made
Color: Yellow Gold, Color: Yellow Gold
These are the perfect size for dainty stylish gold jewelry. Minimalist jewelry is really back in style and these earrings provide a great variety of options at an amazing price! I have a few pieces from Amazon essentials and I’ve been happy with every single one, they don’t turn green on my ears, and I have swam and bathed with them without any issues. I’ve had trouble with some hoops because the clasps wear out after a while, but these seem to be holding up very well. My favorite pair of the three is the chain one, it’s not the picture because I am wearing them!

Not for those with thicker earlobes
Color: Yellow Gold
This is a really cute set with perfectly sized hoops! They look so chic and can complement so many different outfits. The gold color is very nice and shiny. The only downside for me is that if you have thicker earlobes like I do these might not fit or feel very tight. Also the part that goes into your earlobe is not a regular size rod and gets thicker so if your piercing is tiny these might not be the most comfortable to wear.
