Page 152 - The additional barbarities committed amid the sack and ruin of those blazing and starving cities, are almost beyond belief ; unborn infants were torn from the living bodies of their mothers ; women and children were violated by thousands ; and whole populations burned and hacked to pieces by soldiers in every mode which cruelty, in its wanton ingenuity, could devise.§...
