Description	Typescript transcriptions of two extracts from George Orwell's diary. One page is critical of capital punishment, and refers to a newspaper article of 16 December 1949. The other page compares the living standards and expectations of the working class in Europe with that of people in Asia. This page contains racist attitudes. As this is a transcribed extract, it is unclear whether these are George Orwell's own words or whether he was quoting someone else.
