Description:
The pamphlets in the collection are bound together in strong modern red cloth buckram (evidently rebound from a previous contemporary binding). The pamphlets are in remarkably fresh condition, and many items have the contemporary dates of acquisition noted in a neat hand, and a few have interesting marginal comments in the same hand.

With a Modest Disquisition of what may becorme the Wisdom and Justice of the ensuing Convention, in their Disposal of the Crown.London: Printed for J. S. and ... sold by R.… Read More
