1796B402London: G. C. and J. Robinson 1796. First. Hardcover. Near Fine. This pamphlet was part of a public debate on some proposed laws to strengthen government security measures to protect King George III. including expansion of the definition and penalties for sedition. The discussion was in the context at the time that the king of France had been recently guillotined during the French Revolution. Another consideration though not directly mentioned was that King George was exhibiting signs of mental instability. An ink annotation on the title page attributes the Reply to Sir Edward Harington but this was incorrect. Harington was the author of the Remarks being replied to.<br /> <br /> This copy is near fine in a modern binding with a white cloth spine on brown paper-covered boards with original title labels on the spine and front cover. Some scattered soiling to the text but overall it is quite clean for its age.<br /> <br /> The work appears to be quite rare with only a single copy listed in ETSC that being in the British Library.<br /> <br /> .

18002305250028Philadelphia : Printed by W.W. Woodward 1800. First Edition. Hardcover. Acceptable. Quackery: Early American Law and Medicine; Defamation Slander Rare publication of the infamous libel trial of William Cobbett by Dr. Benjamin Rush. Cobbett had printed strident criticism of Rush's advocacy of bloodletting in his Porcupine's Gazette in 1797. "The times are ominous indeed When quack to quack cries purge and bleed." Under the pen-name Peter Porcupine Cobbett had referred "to Rush as a bleeder the Samson of medicine who had actually slaughtered thousands of citizens and as a poisonous trans-Atlantic quack." During the calamitous Yellow Fever outbreak of 1797 Rush's advocacy of bleeding may have resulted in the death of numerous patients. Rush was a prominent founding father and signer of the Declaration of Independence. Cobbett lost this libel trial and was ordered to pay Rush $5000. To avoid the hefty judgement Cobbett left Philadelphia for New York set up his "Rush Light" and fled ultimately to Britain. An interesting proceeding where the question of what is a "quack" is explored and the patriotism and republicanism of Rush is oratorically chest thumped.
