"Chambers's Journal of Popular Literature, Science, and Art, fifth series, no. 134" is a publication edited by R.

It recounts the tale of enslaved people plotting to rise up and illustrates their pursuit of freedom.

As a product of its time, the journal provides a historical record of the social and intellectual thinking of the period.
