About this Item
Description:
Two volumes. [2],xxxii, 208,[38]; [2],356pp. Contemporary speckled calf, spine gilt. Hinges cracked, spine slightly chipped, corners and edges worn. Bookplates on front pastedowns. Light tanning, light staining at edges of initial and final leaves. Good. Second issue of the first authorized edition, with the Table of Contents and Index sections added about March 1773, per Lowndes. The original collected edition of the letters, which were first published in the London PUBLIC ADVERTISER from Jan. 21, 1769 to Jan. 21, 1772 under the pseudonym of "Junius" (possibly Sir Philip Francis). ".'Junius' poured brilliantly slanderous invective upon Tory-minded English ministers, especially the Duke of Grafton, for a series of 'inconsistent measures' which allegedly ruined England and drove the colonies 'into excesses little short of rebellion.' Vehement, lucid, frequently reprinted in English and colonial newspapers, the letters were polemical masterpieces with such extraordinary knowledge and appreciation of contemporary colonial opinion that they lent moral support to the early revolutionary cause. 'Junius' opposed the Tea Duty, but upheld the legality of the Stamp Act, and prophesied (Dec. 19, 1769) that the colonies aimed at independence" - DAH. Sabin calls this the best and the original collected edition. SABIN 36906. ESTC T1830. DAH III, p.190. LOWNDES V, p.1241. REESE, REVOLUTIONARY HUNDRED 14. Seller Inventory # WRCAM52323A

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Original publisher's brown leather binding with gilt lettering on spine. 3" x 5 3/8." 340 pages, complete. "Printed by D. & G. Bruce." is printed on Page 340. "Printed for M. Carey, Philadelphia, and E. Sargeant, New-York" is printed on the title page. Former ownership signatures are on the front endpaper. Pages and covers are very clean and intact. Binding is tight. This book is a collection of letters critical of the government of King George III that were originally published between 1769 and 1772. Junius is the pseudonym of the book's anonymous writer, although many today believe Junius was Philip Francis (1740-1818), an Irish-born British politician and member of the Whig Party. Three people, none of whom were Francis, were tried and convicted in connection to the publication for seditious libel, but of those people, two went free and one was convicted but appears to have received no punishment. The Letters of Junius also contains letters in response to people who had written Junius between 1769 and 1772. Seller Inventory # 021419
