Page, Thomas
An Earnest Appeal to the Nation at Large, on the Mischievous Effects of Beer Houses. London: Seeley, Burnside and Seeley, 1846.
Page is not a verifiable transportee and there is no incontrovertible evidence to prove that both this text and Horrors of Transportation were written by the same man. However, the alignment of publication date and thematic concerns between the two texts is intriguing and it is worth
positing that the two might have a common author as the attributed names suggest.
