About This Item
London, 1714. Broadsheet. [1]p. plus printed docket title on verso. Disbound. Small folio. Early folds and early stab holes in left margin. Some foxing. An early British political leaflet lobbying for change in regulations on the wool textile industry. The petitioners ask that Parliament require that "the Length and Breadth of all mixt and medley Broad Cloth, may not be ascertain'd at the Place of Making, but at the Place of Sale; where both Seller and Buyer may see that equal Justice is done between them." The document is among the earliest examples of commercial lobbying literature, which first began proliferating in the lobby of the House of Commons around the time of the accession of King George I and the British general election of 1715. ESTC records copies at five British institutions and one American (Harvard)
