Item description from seller

2 works 12mo., pp. 21, [3] adverts., verso of last leaf blank; 48; modern boards, some dust-marking to titles. [Pearl notes that "this pamphlet in two parts consisted of sections taken from Part II of *A Bone to Gnaw. and *The Bloody Buoy., suitably amended for the English public. Thus in the first part all the atrocity stories of the French Revolution were left intact, whilst the names of Thelwall, Hardy, and Tooke were substituted for those of Butler, Bond, and Rowan; and the 'Whig Club, and corresponding societies' for the United Irishmen' and 'American self-created societies.' Pearl: William Cobbett, pages 46 & 47.] [ESTC N662; T164539; with our copy of the fist part having the advert. leaf at the end instead of after the title. Both titles appear to be scarce with the first part having 4 locations in the UK and 10 in north America, and the second part having 3 locations in the UK and 4 in North America.].
