1778WRCAM44871London: Henry Fenwick 1778. 88; 151pp. bound with: A PETITION OF THE FREEHOLDERS OF THE COUNTY OF MIDDLESEX. London: Henry Fenwick 1769. 11pp. Contemporary calf spine gilt leather label. Boards heavily worn head and foot of spine chipped. Very minor scattered foxing. Good plus. In a brown half morocco and cloth slipcase. The county of Middlesex essentially London was the heart of radical politics in England at the time of the Revolution and the greatest pro-American feeling was found in the merchants and working classes of the metropolis. The colonists often appealed directly to Middlesex for support. These works contain petitions relating to the American colonies dating from June 1774 to March 1778 including petitions regarding the Quebec Act in which the people express their concern over the encroachment of Catholicism and French influence in the colony. Likewise it includes the text of a letter from John Hancock to the mayor of London dated September 1775 expressing a hope for peace between Britain and the colonies. Adams notes that these two titles are often found bound together sometimes with other publications of the Council. The petition of the freeholders of Middlesex County concerns the John Wilkes case. Wilkes ran for Parliament and was elected as a radical candidate for Middlesex but was arrested and imprisoned shortly thereafter for seditious libel. Wilkes spoke out against the British war against the American colonies and his opposition to the Crown was a rallying point for the American cause. ESTC T108621 T108605 T43921.

Text is clean and free of marks. Binding tight and solid. Jack London's novels and ruggedly individual life seemed to embody American hopes frustrations and romantic longings in the turbulent first years of the twentieth century years infused with the wonder and excitement of great technological and historic change. The author's restless spirit taste for a life of excitement and probing mind led him on a series of hard-edged adventures from the Klondike to the South Seas.
