Example of exaggeration or hyperbole?

Hyperbole:

"I grant this food will be somewhat dear, and therefore very proper for landlords, who, as they have already devoured most of the parents, seem to have the best title to the children."

“I rather recommend buying the Children alive, and dressing them hot from the Knife, as we do roasting Pigs.”

Hyperbole used to dehumanize children.

These mothers instead of being able to work for their honest livelihood, are forced to employ all their time in stroling to beg sustenance for their helpless infants who, as they grow up, either turn thieves for want of work, or leave their dear native country, to fight for the Pretender in Spain, or sell themselves to the Barbadoes.

Hyperbole used to emphasize poverty's effect on women.
