The text chronicles the life and political struggles of Henry Hunt, a radical reformer in England, particularly during a time of social upheaval and demand for democratic rights, with special focus on his imprisonment and efforts for universal suffrage. The opening of the memoir sets the stage for Hunt's narrative by detailing his unjust imprisonment following a peaceful public meeting advocating for political reform in Manchester, where he was wrongfully sentenced to two years and six months in jail. Hunt recounts the violent suppression of the gathering by military forces, leading to death and injury among the attendees. In a passionate introduction, he dedicates his memoir to the radical reformers across England, reflecting on his commitment to the principles of equality and justice, particularly the right to vote. With a blend of personal history and political context, Hunt outlines his intent to document his life story during his incarceration, discussing the significant events and societal issues leading to his steadfast support for universal suffrage amidst governmental oppression.
